Configuring Asterisk PBX for Incoming VoIP Numbers

Click here to find out how to configure your Asterisk PBX for outgoing calls with VoIPtalk.

1. Create an entry in iax.conf as follows:

[VoIPtalk Incoming Number]
type=friend
username=VoIPtalk Incoming Number
context=[XXXXXXXX]

2. Create an entry in extensions.conf as follows:

[XXXXXXXX]
exten => VoIPtalk Incoming Number,1,Dial(SIP/XXX)

3. Example

For example, if your incoming number is: 0870 068 0000:

iax.conf entry would look like this:

[08700680000]
type=friend
username=08700680000
context=default

extensions.conf entry would look like this:

[default]
exten => 08700680000,1,Dial(SIP/1001)

As a result, all calls on that number would be routed to a SIP Phone with extension 1001.
