Nokia hidden SIP Settings for VoIP over 3G and codecs

Although Nokia phones are able to connect VoIP services over 3G connections and has codec settings for better voice quality these settings are hidden by default.

If you want a better voice quality or want to make calls over 3G connection Nokia has a new application to configure the preferred codec, NAT settings, STUN, VoIP over 3G, etc.

This application can be used to configure VoIP settings on the terminal UI. You can create new VoIP profiles and modify the existing ones, and create and modify VoIP parameters and NAT/Firewall traversal settings and that are normally not visible on the device UI, such as codec settings and SIP domain-specific NAT/FW settings. It is also possible to save all the VoIP profile settings to a text file. It also enables VoIP over WCDMA which means VoIP over 3G connection.

Here you can find detailed configuration guide for hidden Nokia SIP settings and how to make calls over 3G and changing codecs for better voice quality.
