How set Jumblo on Mobile

In this Example I have used VoipVoip and JUMBLO just to make you understand better. The rest of the settings are almost the same for other service providers and you can install all the same settings on other devices like iPhone, Android & Windows.

In a nut shell you can configure your mobile device as follows:

SIP port : 5060

Registrar : sip.jumblo.com

Proxy server : sip.jumblo.com

Outbound proxy server : leave empty

Account name : your Jumblo username

Password : your Jumblo password

Display name/number : your Jumblo username or voipnumber

Stunserver (option) : stun.jumblo.com

For most of the applications you may not enter all of the settings mentioned above, whatever is asked during setup just insert them and you are on to make cheap and free internet calls.

JUMBLO NIMBUZZ SETTINGS
 

The following guide with the illustrations will help you set up Jumblo connection on Nimbuzz. The screen shots are from a Symbian old version of Nimbuzz application, Although the latest Nimbuzz version might look different but the steps will be the same. If you have any problems leave your comment below and I will help you set it up on your device.
 

STEP 1

To add “Service Provider”(Like Jumblo) service click on the OPTIONS of the Nimbuzz application and then go to "SETTINGS" and choose SIP.

STEP 2

By default Nimbuzz, fring and Talkonaut sponsor some service providers that you can also buy credit from. so when you see this screen choose “SIP Other" to set up your JUMBLO or other service provider credit.

STEP 3

The next screen as shown will take you to the main setup page, make sure you enter correctly the below settings.

Enter the following for SIP settings

Username: 1234@sip3.voipvoip.com or xyz@jumblo.com if you are using Jumblo VoIP credit (Instead of 1234 & xyz put your username or number, use the username or account number when signed up for “Service Provider” (Jumblo) 

Password: Enter the same password used to login to your “Service Provider” (Jumblo) account
(passwords are case sensitive) so make sure you have the right case on.

Proxy Server: sip3.voipvoip.com or sip.jumblo.com in case you are Jumblo VoIP Credit.

STEP 4 
If you have correctly done the settings you will get an "ACTIVE" or "Connected" will be shown.
 

STEP 5

If you are registered successfully on Nimbuzz, you have to choose the "SIP" menu on the "Dial Number icon". By default it will show "nimbuzzout" change it to "SIP" by going into options / VoIP Settings / Call Phone Numbers Via... make it "SIP"

In older Nimbuzz versions from the Call submenu, you have to choose "Internet Call". The call made will be with the “Service Provider” account you have added.

Hurray!!!! Cheap International Calls!

For dialing any phone number that is part of the NANP (North American Numbering Plan), you must dial: 1 + Area Code + Phone number

For dialing any phone number that is outside of the NANP (North American Numbering Plan), you must dial:

Country Code + City Code + Phone number

For example if you want to call Argentina (country code 54) phone number in Buenos Aires (city code11) you must dial 5411 and phone number.
