There are many service providers. Some provide proxy server that make it possible to connect to other members of that provider. Other providers offer both incoming and outgoing PSTN to VOIP termination. Here are a few common providers and how to make the work with Asterisk@Home.

Most providers will give you phone number and a password for that provider some will also give you a user name. If you get a real PSTN number from the provider it will be a normal 10 digit number (US providers). some providers give out shorter number that can only be used by other members of that provider.

The following site provides alot of useful information regarding
VOIP providers rates, connection types, and county availability 
VOIP Charges

6.1 Free World Dialup (FWD)

Contact: http://www.freeworlddialup.com/
Service: proxy to other FWD users, Gateway to other providers
Protocol: SIP or IAX
Cost: free

You should have a phone number (123456) and a password (wibble). You also need to have your FWD account setup for IAX. This is achieved by visiting http://www.freeworlddialup.com, logging in and turning on IAX. This is done in the "Extra Features" area of your account page. It does take a little bit of time to be set up (10 mins or so), so do that first. Once you have turned it on and clicked 'Submit' enough times (I noticed I had to click Submit two or three times before it came up with 'Changes Successful', that may have just been a temporary glitch) you're ready to proceed below.

Once again, you need to be in AMP, the Asterisk Management Portal. Click on Setup at the top of the page, but this time click on Trunks on the left. Click on Add IAX2 Trunk

Outbound Caller ID should (but does not have to be) set to your FWD Number. This is what is displayed when you call someone else through FWD. They would normally just see your Extension (200).

Outgoing Settings

Trunk Name: fwd (This is just a descriptive name, and is what appears on the left of the screen)
PEER Details: (Change '123456' and 'wibble' to be your FWD Number and Password)

host=iax2.fwdnet.net
type=peer
username=123456
secret=wibble

Register String: should be set to yournumber:yourpassword@iax2.fwdnet.net, using our examples above, it would be 123456:wibble@iax2.fwdnet.net


Click 'Outbound Routing' from the menu, and then click 'Add Route'

Name your route something like 'fwd'
The dial prefix is, usually, 393 — That's 'FWD' on your phones pad.
Dial Patterns: 393|X.
Trunk Sequence: IAX2/fwd

Click 'Submit Changes'
You may have to move the trunk further up the priority list.

From the asterisk command line type the following to see if the new connection is registered.
iax2 show registry

Assuming you've got your username and password correct, you should now be able to dial '393612', Which will read out the time to you. IF you are feeling exceptionally brave, call '393613', which is a useful little echo tester - it'll just bounce back to you everything you say to it. You can then try '393514' which is FWD's 'Coffee Lounge' - I've never actually successfully had a conversation with anyone there, however, or '39355555', which calls a random volunteer, so you can actually speak to a live person!

6.2 Free World Dialup OUT (FWD)

Contact: http://www.fwdout.net/web/
Service: Gateway to other providers
Protocol: IAX
Cost: Share and Share Alike

FWDout is The Service Formerly Known as <name withheld>
You must read the documentation carefully and be aware that a poorly configured Asterisk@Home box can be used by other people on the fwdOUT network to make long distance calls that you may end up paying dearly for.
Create an account on http://www.fwdout.net/bell-cgi/signup.cgi

Click 'Outbound Routing' from the menu, and then click 'Add Route'

Name your route something like 'fwdOUT'
The suggested Dial prefix for fwdOUT is 394, although this is optional

Dial Patterns: 394|X.
Trunk Sequence: IAX2/fwdOUT

Click 'Submit Changes'
You may have to move the trunk further up the priority list.

From the asterisk command line type the following to see if the new connection is registered.
iax2 show registry

If you have another provider for long distance place the fwdOUT before your providers Trunk so that outbound calls are routed through fwdOUT

fwdOUT will allow you to make long distance phone calls using other people's asterisk boxes, while allowing other people to route calls through your asterisk box. The idea is that you do not pay for calls in your local area, so you can let people route calls through your server, and other people do the same for you.

6.3 VoicePulse

Now you should be able to make and receive calls!

If you cannot, please feel free to email support@exgn.net or open a trouble ticket within our user portal/control panel.

6.9 Gizmo Project / SIPphone

Contributed by: Casey

Contact: http://www.gizmoproject.com
Service: DID, PTSN Termination, Gateway to other providers and universities
Protocol: SIP
Cost: Gateway is free. DID and PSTN termination are pay.

Its free to setup an account on the Gizmo Project. It's free to use as a gateway to other providers.

Gizmo In provides DID service (a standard telephone phone number others can call from traditional phones that rings in to your Asterisk@Home box) . And Gizmo Out offers PSTN termination to most countries.

The following setting work with both the Gizmo IN / DID service, and the Gizmo Out long-distance service. I try to use the minimal settings to get things working, then add the bells and whistles later. Here are the basic settings I've used to setup A@H with Gizmo Project/SIPphone with Asterisk@Home 2.8.

In the settings below 17470000000 should be replaced with your Gizmo or SIPphone number. And Password111 should be replaced with your Gizmo or SIPphone password.

In Asterisk@Home, add a new SIP trunk. Remove any pre-filled text from the fields, then only add:

Trunk name: proxy01.sipphone.com

Peer Details:


Register String: 17470000000:Password111@proxy01.sipphone.com

Submit the changes, then click the red link at the top of the page to apply the changes. That's it. If you're interested in how/why I set the items I did, read on...

First, I had read that beginning with recent versions of Asterisk, the User Context/Details (Incoming Settings) have been depreciated. Instead, it had been combined with the Peer Details (Outgoing Settings). I've eliminated the User Context/Details completely from my configuration, and it continues to work.

I found that if I didn't specify insecure=very and allow=ulaw that DID would not work. Instead, the incoming caller would be greeted with Gizmo / SIPphone's "the person you are calling has not setup voice mail" message. FYI allow=ilbc will also work. The context=from-pstn makes the incoming DID calls get handled according to the settings in the AMP Incoming Calls tab.

If you don't have Gizmo Out (long-distance) minutes, you don't need the fromdomain=proxy01.sipphone.com and the fromuser=17470000000 settings. You'll be limited to the gateway features, and toll-free calls, without those settings.

FYI Gizmo Project / SIPphone officially announced support for Asterisk (which, coincidentally, would include Asterisk@Home) on May 23, 2006. The original instructions, above, were posted March 6, 2006. We're on it like Blue Bonnet!

6.10 Iristel

Contact: http://www.iristel.ca
Service: DID, PTSN Termination
Protocol: SIP
Cost: $15.95/month CAD for one DID with unlimited local termination.

When you first sign up with Iristel, select the "I will use my own SIP gateway" option. When your account is activated, they will e-mail you a PDF document with sample Asterisk configuration. Use that document for reference. It has on it your assigned DID, you user ID number, and your password to access the service. To setup Iristel's service using the AMP GUI, follow these instructions:

1. Click on Setup in the menu at the top of the page.
2. Click on Trunks in the menu on the left of the page.
3. Click on the Add SIP Trunk link.
4. Under Outbound Caller ID, enter the following: "You Name" <11231234567> (replacing Your Name with your desired caller ID name, and 11231234567 with your assigned DID. Make sure this DID is in international dialing format (re: Include the leading one!). Also ensure that you do enclose your name in quotes, as this is the format Asterisk is expecting.
5. Under Dialing Rules, enter the following: 1+NXXNXXXXXX This will add a leading one to locally dialed outgoing calls on this trunk. Locally dialed calls must be dialed in international dialing format or Iristel's SIP proxy will reject the call.
6. Under Trunk Name enter: irisbax.iristel.net
7. Under Peer Details enter:

Leave the Incoming settings boxes blank. Under Register String, enter: 11231234567:<password>:<userID>@irisbax.iristel.net/11231234567 (replacing 11231234567 with your assigned DID, <password> with your password (excluding the angle brackets) and <userID> with your assigned user ID number (without the angle brackets) This string is provided to you in the setup PDF, you may copy and paste it here).

Your Iristel trunk is now ready to send and receive calls. Simply setup an outbound route to match your local area code, or all long distance calls if you wish. Just make sure that any call being sent to the Iristel SIP proxy is in international dialing format.

Voxee provides outbound call termination to the PSTN. At the time of this handbook entry, Voxee's rate for the U.S. was 1.1-cents per minute, with 6-second (1/10-minute) billing. Here is the basic IAX configuration to get you started:

Add a new IAX trunk to Asterisk. Delete any pre-filled Peer Details information, and delete any pre-filled User Details information. Then add only the following (replace Username111 with the username Voxee assigned to you, and Password111 with your Voxee password):

Trunk Name: Voxee

Note for Gafachi inbound 800 users.
I was fighting the issue of incoming calls being rejected for days until I happened to set the Incoming User Context to a blank field.
This wiped out the incoming settings that I had been tweaking. It also fixed my incoming call problem!
I am happily running with only the trunk name and registration string populated.

6.20 Vitelity Communications LLC (merger between Exgn LLC and Sixtel)

Contact: http://www.vitelity.net
Service: PTSN Termination
Protocol: SIP, IAX
Cost: Pay

Vitelity Communications announced its official launch on 07/18/2006, combining two of the industries leading VoIP providers, Exgn LLC (www.exgn.net) & Sixtel Communications (www.iax.cc). Vitelity began migrating EXGN customers shortly after this mid-July announcement.

Vitelity Communications is a VOIP service provider that supports both SIP and IAX protocols. Their user portal (from EXGN) is one of the best seen in this industry which allows instant activation for DIDs in hundreds of ratecenters across the country along with a pool of toll free numbers to choose from. As of March 3, 2006 they (EXGN) also offer e911 service for their DIDs in the USA with Canadian e911 service coming soon.

Creation of sub-accounts allows multiple SIP and/or IAX devices to share a single account. They provide failover forwarding to a specified phone number (per DID basis). They also provide failover forwarding to an alternate sub-account (per sub-account basis) if an incoming call to a DID can not be delivered to the primary account. Ideal if you have multiple asterisk systems in multiple locations (ie: failover/backup systems).

Outbound Caller ID management allows you to assign Caller ID numbers on a per extension basis within Asterisk. Caller ID name is available for select ratecenters via national LIBD entries. To see if they can offer LIBD/outbound CNAM for your DID, contact their support department via the ticket system within their online user portal.

Pros: Very nice portal, sub-accounts, inexpensive pay-as-you-go plans, inexpensive DIDs (as low as $1.49/mo).

6.21 Vonage Business Plus and Vonage Softphone

Contact: http://www.vonage-business-plus.com
Service: PTSN Termination
Protocol: SIP
Cost: Pay

Vonage Business Plus is for medium to large scale enterprises who want to integrate their existing PBXs or IP PBXs directly with Vonage's network via SIP trunking. Vonage Business Plus service is sold and supported through Binary Systems, Inc., an authorized Vonage reseller for enterprise-class VoIP service. For more information, visit http://www.binary-systems.com.

Standard Vonage service plans require an analog telephone adapter (ATA) for each telephone line. While convenient for residential or home office use, this requirement can quickly become restrictive or cumbersome for businesses that require multiple phone lines or who have premise-based PBX or IP-PBX phone systems. The Vonage Business Plus plans allow customers to connect their SIP-based phones, Asterisk PBXs, and conventional PBX (using VoIP gateways) directly to the Vonage Broadband Phone network.

To sign up, visit http://www.vonage-business-plus.com or http://www.asterisk-vonage.com.
