Thank you for pointing me to this post.
I succeeded now: I had to change to provider who support calling to sip uri, (and had to disable the area code prefix when dialing).
Thanks!

There was another post where I highlighted the ability to dial by SIP URI on my C610A.

Of course, in order to do this your ITSP must support such activity. If they don’t you can always register a free account with SIP2SIP.INFO or GetOnSIP.com.

Hi,

I have got the N300A IP, but cannot figure out how to call to sip using SIP URI.
You can enter an email address/URI in the address book, but I do not know how to use this to dial. Any hint? I am using the C610H handset.

” But if you would like to take advantage of using SIP URIs in the address book you’ll need the N300 or C610IP. “

Yes, of all the handsets I still prefer the S79H.

Thanks again.

I think I have just about settled on an N300A IP with multiple S79H handsets.

I haven’t got much choice (here in the UK) really, the N300A IP is the only base station on offer. Anyway as far as I can tell it seems to mirror the functionality of the C610A IP (rather than the C595 IP).

As to the handset choice I was pondering the C610H vs the S79H, but I think the S79H is the better option?

Cheers Ian

He proved unreachable, but I’ll keep trying.

No, not yet. That is unusual. I wonder if my contact is travelling? I’ll give him a call.

Thanks again.

Regarding the SIP URI phonebook functionality on the N300/C610IP I wasn’t aware of that, thanks.

One thing I have been wondering is whether it’s possible to make use of the online phone directory option? What I mean is use that functionality to set up some sort of local consolidated phone directory that all phones use rather than the hassle of manually keeping the individual phonebooks on the separate handsets synced. I haven’t investigated further, but I assume the URL/address/service destination used by the system isn’t configurable?
