BT Broadband Voice & WM6 Internet Calling - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I have been attempting to get my HTC Wizard running WM6 working with BT Broadband Voice but I have hit an issue.......
I have managed to get a PC Softphone working with the service (3CX Phone) and have captured the SIP registration with a network Sniffer (Wireshark). I have replicated the settings into the provisioning XML file and installed this on the Wizard through the .CAB method described in another thread. However when using the Wizard I never get a response to any of the registration requests it sends. I have managed to get the Wizard working with a test-lab Asterisk server I have so I know the SIP client works.
The differences in the traces between the PC softphone and WM6 registrations seems to be a 'Branch' message that is sent in the SIP header that isn't sent from the Wizard:
From 3CX Phone:
Code:
P.WES=Dd<Qj(rWREGISTER sip:btsip.bt.com SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.168.100.60:5061;branch=z9hG4bK8019d72590f1db11be898000600fe800

CSeq: 2 REGISTER

User-Agent: SIPPER for 3CX Phone

From WM6:
Code:
[email protected]/->2E>b)REGISTER sip:btsip.bt.com SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 192.168.130.1:5061
Max-Forwards: 70
From: <sip:[email protected]>;tag=04d52dd0d6;epid=0ceca78c1f
To: <sip:[email protected]>
Call-ID: 000098f4000012188099efbe2d87c701
CSeq: 1 REGISTER
Contact: <sip:192.168.130.1:5061thods="INVITE, INFO, OPTIONS, BYE, CANCEL, ACK"
User-Agent: RTC/1.5.5374
Event: registration
Content-Length: 0
I am thinking there may be some additional stuff that needs to go into the provisioning file but I am not sure what
Has anyone managed to get this working with BT Broadband Voice? If so what changesdid you have to make? Does anyone know what the 'Branch:' header is and whether this is implemented in the WM6 SIP stack?
Thanks
Andy

Replying to my own posts.....
Right after a bit more playing around and debugging pre and post firewall logs I think I have narrowed this down to being a NAT/Firewall issue.
I originally thought the issue was the lack of the 'Branch' message in the SIP header from the WM6 device - it isn't. It is in fact the 'Contact' header. With the WM6 registration packet this includes the source IP address of the SIP User/Server Agent (the Wizard's SIP Phone) which is using RFC1918 private addressing (sip:192.168.130.1:5061) as I am behind a router/firewall performing NAT. In the 3CX Phone registration it contains the phone number in the Contact header (sip:[email protected]). I checked on my router/firewall and this was not receiving any replies from the SIP Registrar/Proxy, however it was sending the Registrations. Luckily my Router supports SIP Protocol inspection so can intercept the SIP headers and modify them. I enabled this feature and now I can see the router changing the Contact header in the SIP Registrations and can see the replies returning from the SIP Registrar/Proxy
I'll continue testing this and let you know my results..........
Andy

Did you ever resolve this??? I've noticed the same thing, and my SIP provider keeps sending a 400 bad request when trying to register because the contact header isn't how it should be.

Yes it is resolved but only because my router supports SIP inspection. When my phone attempts to register with BT Broadband my router intercepts the registration packets and replaces the RFC1918 address in the 'contact' header with it's own 'real' IP address.

Free GPRS wap to view the net is this possible

I have read a few posts but dont fully understand.
I am in the UK and pay for Web GPRS but wap GPRS is free, Now i think i read some where where people had set up at home a sort of gateway using there home broadband service.
They have said that certain ports are blocked on a wap connection (so youu cant go on the net to view we pages) so they find a port that is not blocked and use that port and set it to goto here PC at home, and the "gateway" at home will send them back out onto the NET via there home PCs internet connection.
Sorry if this dose not make sence
Thanks

Interent through WAP
No. I don't know much about that. but I have tried to use internet though WAP. I used "wsp://" instat of "http://". It works for some internet pages. But it doesn't work for all web pages.
Where did you read about what you have send in the email before?
Do you have more information aobut how to use internet though WAP?
i found the info on the forum it was in a few different threads i will look and post the links to them
The T-mobile free wap allows tcp ports:
http 80, smtp 25, imap 143, pop3 110
So if you need https 443, run a squid web proxy on your home linux machine on port 110 and go to network settings on your pda and configure the http and "secure" proxies for your.home.com 110.
If you need other tcp ports like say nntp 119, run sshd on your home linux machine listening on port 143, then use pocketty on your pda to connect to your.home.com 143 and also set up port forwarding to forward localhost 119 to some.nntpserver.com 119, then configure your pda newsreader to read news on localhost 119. Set up similar port forwards for any other ports. The only problem is pocketty isn't free.
-K
You linux programmers seem to have doors that dont exist for normal software users, I wish I could understand how to use it.
What are the connection settings we need to use in the U.S.? I found some info that says to use internet3.voicestream.com or wap.voicestream.com, but my phone doesn't connect. It immediately gives a me "modem disconnect" error message. Has anyone gotten this to work?
I got it!!
Nevermind... I got it to work. I had to call T-Mobile and have them activate the "free GPRS/WAP service" on my account. It took me 2 calls since the first tech said that you can't even use a wap browser on the Pocket PC Phone (yeah, right). I hung up with that tech and call them right back and got a person who knew what they were talking about. Once I had them activate it, it took about 20 minutes for it work (the tech told me it could take up to 24hrs.). Here's what I did on my phone.
Settings:
- Add new GPRS Connection
- Name the Connection to whatever you want
- Make sure to select "Celluar (GPRS)"
- Click "Next"
- Enter Access Point Name of: wap.voicestream.com
- Click "Next"
- No username or PW
- Click "Finish"
If you get on great. If you don't and recieve a "Modem Disconnect" error, you'll need to call CS and have them activate your account to use the free GPRS/WAP service. They say it's just for wap sites and to d/l pictures and ringtones from the T-Mobile site, but it works for most http sites as as well.

SMTP mail

I am unable to send email from my exec. All the settings are correct, I use NTLWORLD and the pop and smtp settings are:
pop.ntlworld.com
smtp.ntlworld.com
But I get "invalid message recipients". Now I know that the recipients email address is correct.
Any ideas to resolve this would be greatley appreciated.
Also, how do you keep the GPRS connection active, as the connection is dropped after sending/receiving email!
I found this document:
http://www.o2.co.uk/assets/O2HybridNav/Static-files/PDFs/CTS1295-1 Setp Palm Vrs.pdf
which shows that the smtp setting (for O2) is:
smtp.o2.co.uk
Outgoing email now working. Just need to work out how to keep GPRS active. Probably a Registry setting.
...well, you can choose between GPRS always on or apps depending.
With next key key in register you can change it:
HKLM\CommConnMgr\Providers\{7c4b7a38-5ff7-4bc1-80f6-5da7870bb1aa}\connections\t-mobile]
always on dword=0=off dword=1=on
t-mobile is the name of your internetconnection

dial-up email advice please

Hi
I am trying to setup my o2 exec to send and receive email from my work.
I have to dial in to a modem using a user id and password. I then have to use a 2nd id and password to access the email. Has anyone got any tips on how to do this? I have all the settings and can get a pc with modem to work ok.
I have tried to setup a modem using the settings I have, and I have tried to setup an email account to use the modem but I keep getting no modem on this connection. If I dial the connection number on a landline I can here the modem connection.
Any help would be appreciated. Fast running out of Nurofen Plus
Thanks

Are the modem connected to your PC or it's a wireless modem and connected to your PPC?
Hi ranju
What I need to do is to connect my xda exec to my work dial-up by just using the xda not any external modem or pc
ph236
First of all, you should be able for accessing internet from your ppc through activesync or wireless connection.
Now, create a new pop3 account in ppc. Follow the steps:
1. enter the email address
2. your name, email user id (i.e. [email protected]), password and tick on save password.
3. account type (i.e. pop3).
4. server address (i.e. in = pop.gmail.com, out = smtp.gmail.com).
5. click on options. select the connection to be used.
6. click on next. uncheck incomming ssl authentication (in case of gmail), check outgoing authentication (in case of gmail) and uncheck use separate settings.
7. finish and close messaging client.
8. open the messaging client and click on send receive.
Hope it will help. You may also do a softreset after the configuration.
Hi ranju
I need to be able to connect via the dial-up modem at work and my exda on the move using the in built phone.
I need to dial into the modem from my xda to the work modem. make a connection using user id and password.
When the connection is established I then need to use a second id and password to get to my email store.
I won't have a pc connection during any of this.
Sorry if I was a bit misleading.
Peter
Let's try to split a problem into 2 parts.
1) Establish a connection using your GSM connection (without GPRS) = "dial-into" your work server.
2) Check your mail.
So, for 1)
you need your XDA to recognise ISP/Work mode properly first.
By default Work mode is for addresses that are either without dots (e.g. server1), or those found on exception list (e.g. intra.company.com/*), otherwise ISP mode is used.
In Settings > Connections, under Connections, there's Advanced tab where you can find Exceptions list. Add your company intranet mask to it.
Then under same Settings/Connections/Connections, go to Tasks tab, Configure your ISP for normal GPRS, so you're still able to browse Internet via GPRS. But configure your WORK connection using modem! Enter name and select for a modem "Cellular Line" AND NOT "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" or others. It will ask you for number to be dialed to work server. Best if you put it in international format. Then enter usename, password and domain on the next screen - and Advanced will give you more options like "Software Compression" or "IP Header Compression".
On Advanced tab select Dialing Rules... button if you have different rules of dialing to work depending on where you are. This would only be needed if your charges for local phone call are different from national number.
Now any attempt to get some data from server1 or server1.intra.company.com will automatically connect you to WORK via your chosen way - that is just modem. If you have modem and VPN, modem takes precedence.
2) Configure your mail client as usual. Be sure that your mailserver name falls into "Work" category: either just Netbios name or DNS name which responds to Exceptions list. Attempt to Send/Receive should refer to this server which in turn should cause dialing via normal modem and not GPRS with automatic username/password provision.
ranju has already provided instructions on how to deal with Email configuration
That's all folks!
Ta-da.
Hi EastExpert.
Thanks for the info I will give a try. Hopefully I can lay off the nurofen for a while.
If I have any difficulties is it ok if I ask for your expertise again.

Sending Emails via NTLWORLD.COM

Dear Folks,
I have searched this on the forum, but can't find an answer.
I receive my emails on my "stock" HTC HD2 via pop.ntlworld.com, but I can not send emails at all - I have tried all settings but I must be doing something wrong.
Has anybody an idea how I can set-up SMTP on ntlworld.com?
Regards
ANDREW (Yateley, UK)
hi.
i am with ntl (virgin)..here are my settings and all work for me
incoming server
pop.ntlworld.com
outgoing server
smtp.ntlworld.com
all in lower case.
regards
op
Does the virgin media web-site not help? They claim to have instructions there
I am also with virgin but when I joined view were ntl and for my email to work on my phone I have to put t mobiles info in!
so yes its
pop.ntlworld.com
smtp.t-email.co.uk
these work for me
the ntl world smtp server won't let you send mail un less you are connected via their network.so over wifi smtp.ntlworld will send but over mobile will fail. you can receive through pop.ntlworld on any network, so as noted above, the answer lies in using an smtp server that lets you connect from any network, which you may already have with your phone contract.
so long as you put your ntlworld email address a the return address, no one will know any difference.
personally I use domain name email severs.you can buy .co.uk addresses for 3 quid a year which gives you access to their pop and smtp severs even without a hosting package.
I am using:
Incoming server: pop.ntlworld.com
Outgoing: smtp.ntlworld.com:25
With Outgoing server requires authentication [ticked]
Network connection I am using is "The Internet"
But with these settings I can not send email (unless I connect to my home wireless connection)
I had tried the smtp.t-email.co.uk without success.
Any ideas would be so very much appreciated.
Regards
ANDREW

I too am with NTL world for my email. I ended up setting up a googlemail account on my phone because of this problem. Now all of my NTL World emails are automatically forwarded to my googlemail account and I can sent emails from that account using my phone. Not a perfect scenario but at least it works. Regards

Actually the setup the Outgoing server only for the google mail server. then leave the incoming server as ntlworld's.
that's how have mine setup that way it really doesn't matter if your on wifi or mobile network
just make sure you respect that outgoing on google uses SSl, incoming on NTL doesn't

The smtp.t-email.co.uk requires you to be with T-Mobile in the UK
well that is who I am with and on the T-Mobile website it says to use that smtp address, I never change the ports, just leave it how the phone sets it, 110 and 25 i think!
NTL settings are:
IN pop.(FILL IN FROM THE LIST BELOW):110 (T-Mobile) (not sure for others,maybe leave how your phone puts it)
OUT smtp.ntlworld.com port:25
I am with T-mobile and I use smtp.t-email.co.uk

I think I must be a bit daft - as I can not get this working.
I can rceive Okay - but sending is impossible!
I would like to use t-email.co.uk, as my SMTP but can't even get this going, do I need to register this?

You need to be with T-Mobile to get t-email.co.uk working
not sure if you need to be registered!!
"Log on using secure authentication" box as this should NOT be checked when setting up NTL mail account.
make sure when filling in USERNAME
its just the 1st part of your email without the @ntlworld.com
Dear Folks
I have spent hours configuring and re-configuring my HD on Virginmobile all without success.
I have now decided to use another SMTP (UK2.net) and this works fine.
I find it crazy that I have Virgin media, and Virgin mobile - and they can't work together!
Oh well...many thanks to you folks for all the advice - all to no avail.

Hi Andrew
I really am not sure why you cant do what you want but have you thought about this :
setting up a googlemail account is SOOOOO easy on your HD2
pop.gmail.com
smtp.gmail.com
and then from your virgin/ntworld account forward the mail to your gmail account and you will receive them on your HD2 and then in setting you can go to reply email and type in your ntl/virgin email so when you email someone from your new googlemail account the reply email for the person is your ntl/virgin account
i had to do this method one time on my LG POP

EMAIL setup for NTLWORLD (Virgin) on O2 please?

Hi there,
I had the EMAIL working ok until Virgin updated their EMAIL setup a couple of months back, but now I seem to be having trouble whatever I try (keeps int deleting EMAIL's + having problems sending/receiving sometimes).
Thanks, Mark.
Check your settings:
Your Name
Your name as you would like it to appear to others when you send them an e-mail. We recommend entering your real name, although any name can be used.
E-mail address
Your Virgin Media e-mail address. Remember that the part after the @ symbol should correspond to your type of account, e.g., [email protected].
Account Type
POP3
Incoming mail server
pop3.virginmedia.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
smtp.virginmedia.com
User Name
Use entire e-mail address.
e.g., [email protected]
Password
Enter the password for your e-mail account. If you don't know the password for your account you can reset it using the forgotten password tool in My Virgin Media.
Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)
Unticked/No
Thanks for that,
Is that an updated version (since they changed things a couple of months back) or working setups off your phone?
Also I had an O2 address (mail.o2.co.uk) on the outgoing server, as I had trouble sending in the 1st place and this cures things?
Also should the setup be the same for @virginmedia.co.uk addresses as @ntlworld.co.uk ones?
Cheers.

I know - I've done that in the past and with the settings they give it would only let you receive EMAIL's and not send them.
I'm not sure if the settings on there are just for mobiles on the Virgin network?
I wanted to be able to send/receive EMAIL's with O2.
I would have looked on the Virgin site myself if I had not tried them in the past and not bothered people on here.
That's the reason that I had to use the mail.o2.co.uk address for the outgoing server before (as it would not send EMAIL's from the settings they supplied on Virgin's site).
Nope - just tried the settings supplied for the NTLWorld EMAIL address on the Virgin site and they still don't work Dude (saying to check my account information when sending/receiving).

If i remember correctly to send now you have to use ssl encryption on the smtp connection and specify the same log in details as for the incoming pop connection (the smtp servers are no longer open). The reason for this is that when it was ntl/blueyonder the smtp servers would only respond to certain ip address' so any further security was not needed.
Nope - just tried the settings supplied for the NTLWorld EMAIL address on the Virgin site and they still don't work Dude (saying to check my account information).

Ok - thanks for that.
Mark.
if you are using a data connection then set it to mail.o2.co.uk and make sure the connction is using o2 mobile
if you are using wifi at home thru the VM connection then you can use smtp.ntlworld.com

Sorry, but just checking - you have to setup a GMail account for this to work - I was wondering when you send somebody a message if it shows as from the NTL World EMAIL address or the GMail one?
Cheers, Mark.
Hi there,
Thanks for all the replies - I think I may have sussed it now with a combination of peoples replies and also using O2's server for the outgoing mail.
I can now send/receive + also delete EMAIL's off the server so they don't come through on my PC once I have deleted and done a send/receive on the phone.
Cheers, Mark.
I was also wondering about the IMAP4 setting on the mobile - does this mean that everything on the server is also stored on the phone as well, so you have old EMAIL's on your phone as well?
Does this slow the HD2 down, as it would be handy to have some of the older EMAIL's in folders on the phone.
It sends it from the gmail address.... All I have got in my folders is the stuff in my inbox... BTW what settings did you end up using for both the outgoing and sending?
Regards,
Alan
Hi there,
I got these settings E-Mailed from Virgin in the end (like the ones posted by somebody else earlier, but with info on the SSL + ports etc (not that I think you can setup the ports on the HD2).
It seems to work all ok now with even being able to delete messages off the server as well.
Cheers, Mark.
Thanks for getting in touch with the Virgin Media Support team.
The details for your email account settings are below.
Incoming Mail Server - pop3.virginmedia.com
Outgoing Mail Server- smtp.virginmedia.com
Username - Full email address including @ntlworld.com
Password - Your email password
Outgoing server requires authentication - Yes
Incoming Server Port - 995
SSL Required - Yes
Outgoing Server Port - 465

If you are going to be receiving emails to more than one device you will
need to use 'Recent' mode in order to facilitate this. To do this simply
add 'recent:' to the start of the username in your account settings on
your email client so if your username was '[email protected]' it
would become 'recent:[email protected]'.
