Upset over the fact that starhub does not allow you to use your preferred SIP phone for your digital voice service? Fret no more! While this is not a method to unlock your IAD, you now have the means to look up your login credentials of your digital voice service, from there you are free to use any SIP device, your nokia phone, softphone or PAP2.
*Username: Your digital voice service phone number
*Authorized username: "to be discovered"
*Password: "to be discovered"
*Network port: UDP 5060
*SIP Proxy/Server/domain:
DV travel: sipproxy1.starhub.com
DV Home: dvrproxy12.starhub.com
Realm: Registered_Subscribers Or Xener.com
Register Expires 600
public username: yourdigitalvoicenumber@sipproxy1.starhub.com
Depending on your SIP phone, you don't really have to fill in all parameters, those with asterisk are required for provisioning of all SIP phones!
How to find out your authorized username & password?
Note that G711 codec is required for outbound call to landline/mobile, but if you're calling between Digital Voice numbers, G729 codec is fine. It is recommended to set your 1st codec order to G729 follow by G711 to save bandwidth
Config guide for nokia N/E series phone with built-in SIP client
1. Create and name SIP profile as Digital Voice XXXXXXX (your number)
2. Service profile set to IETF
3. Set default access point to your WIFI at home or whatever
4. Set Public user name to yourdigitalvoicenumber@203.116.2.68
5. Compression: No
6. Registration: when needed (Save battery) You can set to Always but your WIFI will always be switched on
7. Use Security: No
Proxy server address: sip:203.116.2.68
Realm: xener.com
User name: your authorized username
Password: your password
Allow loose routing: Yes
Transport type: UDP
Port: 5060
Registrar server address: sip:203.116.2.68
Realm: Registered_Subscribers
User name: your authorized username
Password: your password
Transport type: UDP
Port: 5060
8. Go to Internet telephone, create profile & set to the sip profile that you've created
And you're good to go!
Many people had PM me on stuffs like whether can use a router or switch...I'll like to set things straight!
You can only use a network hub, a switch that support port mirroring/SPAN feature or just make your own network tap (http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-Passive-Network-Tap/)! Regular switch or router will not cut! And if you have no experience with network analysis, you are on your own. Do not expect clear cut answers! And finally, this hack will only work for IADs - Motorola VT1005 or Linksys VoIP devices, it will not work for routers with VOIP features unless somehow you manage to capture traffic through the wan interface which seems quite unlikely for VoIP cable routers.
Update!
If your SIP phone get disconnected every few minutes, that because Starhub has recently migrated to a new softswitch, (Xener Systems.), and some settings has changed. Register Expires Parameter must not be less than 600
At around 5th July 2015, for unknown reason, Starhub reset the logon password and decommissioned DNS servers configured for Motorola VT1005
Thus, you'll have to repeat the procedures above to discover your SIP password
