Orange and Vodafone Remove VoIP from Nokia N95

For some time, Nokia customers have been accustomed to Nokia advertising regarding N95 devices and the available VoIP services. Now, Orange and Vodafone have decided to deactivate VoIP calls on N95 devices.

The downside of this move is that customers will not be able to run integrated applications such as Truphone. Though such applications may appear to install correctly, customers will find VoIP calls impossible to make, as there simply aren’t any menus for using or configuring VoIP calls.

Stand-alone VoIP applications will still work on N95 devices. Because these services do not require integration, they can be used with N95 devices, but don’t offer quite the rich, seamless experience that integrated VoIP solutions do.

According to RegHardware.co.uk,

Vodafone is saying nothing beyond confirming that the functionality has been removed.

Orange told us that this was not a policy decision and that future handsets might, or might not, have VoIP enabled.
