This article will show you how to set up a Netphone (VoIP) service on your modem. Before you get started, make sure you have the following:

• An active internet service.
• A VoIP-enabled modem (e.g. Budii Lite).
• If your modem doesn’t have a handset built into it (e.g. BoB2) you’ll also need a standard phone handset to plug in to your modem.
• You may also need your Netphone number and Netphone password. These details are emailed to you once your Netphone service is activated. If you have lost your Netphone details, please call us on 13 22 58.

Please note: Certain high risk international numbers are blocked by default on our Netphone services.

The layout of settings in modems can vary greatly. If you have an iiNet Netphone (VoIP) service but you’re using a third party VoIP-enabled modem, please check its user manual or check the manufacturer's website to see exactly how to access the VoIP settings.

You’ll need to enter the iiNet VoIP settings below where applicable:

SIP Servers

You should use your state or territory’s SIP server address wherever your modem settings require you to enter the SIP server, Proxy IP or Registrar IP.

Port Settings

If temporarily disabling your firewall fixes any Netphone issues, you should make sure that the following ports aren't blocked by the firewall:

• UDP 5060 - This is the default port for Netphone (Mac OSX users with iChat will need to use port 5070 instead)
• UDP 35000-44999
• UDP CPE Port - The port your CPE uses for RTP (e.g. 8000-8001 or 5061)
