Configuring iiNet VOIP (iiTalk) on the Nokia N900

iiNet VOIP iiTalk N900

I just succeeded in configuring iiNet's VOIP service (I get iiTalk free with my DSL connection) on the Nokia N900 mobile phone. One of the many great features of the N900 is that it has completely integrated support for Mobile, VOIP, Skype, and Google Talk calls - you can make and receive calls on these services just like a usual mobile call, straight from the address book.

This now means I can use iiTalk from my handset, rather than using a headset hooked up to my desktop computer.

For reference, here are the settings I configured on the phone:

Remember you will also have to configure port forwarding to the IP address of your phone on your wifi network - read iiNet's documentation for details.
