Finally! My test can make and receive calls using PJSIP trunks and Twilio!

Now we can SIP call each other, too.

In a setup like that are SIP calls counted against minutes like a regular phone call? (Just curious, as I have no idea how that works).

From Twilio's documentation for configuring with freePBX uses examples that would be using a CHAN_SIP trunk. I'm going to see if they have any actual documentation / contact them to see if they any suggestions for configuring a PJSIP trunk better than what I've made work (which is taking what I can from the CHAN_SIP instructions and putting the values into the appropriate places for the PJSIP config).

If the traffic travels over the trunk, I'd imagine so.

Nope. It's like email. Bypasses the central PSTN completely. 100% free.

It doesn't. It's direct.

So if I'm [email protected] call [email protected], it would be like the two servers calling one another and bypassing VOIP.ms ?

Yup. Same as email. It's a fully decentralized system.

Without a phone number, there is no way to route over the PSTN.

I got it now. I'm considering building my own FreePBX install to play with.

EddieJennings

While the FreePBX guide doesn't talk about PJSIP, the Asterisk guide does. Of course, I'm not about to go messing with the actual .conf files, but it's nice to see that it's not a fluke that PJSIP works.

If you build on Vultr, you can call most of us without even hitting another network!

What are you opening to allow this, because by default nothing should come in on 5060 without authentication.

scottalanmiller

Just back from the total failure Spicecorps where they don't even let you in the door.

There is nothing special here. Just fill in the blanks and it should connect. Look at my guide.

Currently, PJSIP is not that different from SIP. Mostly it is server side handling and additional features on top of SIP.

Phones don't talk PJSIP, but all my extensions are setup PISIP.

VoIP.ms does not talk PJSIP, but my trunks are still setup that way. Just plug in the creds.
