<div dir="ltr">I set up an Asterisk server running on FreeBSD for a company probably 8-10 years ago, using Vitelity (back when they offered services for brick-and-mortar small businesses). I believe it used IAX2, and the actual phones were bottom-of-the-line Grandstream DECT cordless units that connected to the Asterisk box through SIP over SSL (probably with a self-signed cert knowing me). That knowledge is probably out of date now, unfortunately.<div><br></div><div>For my office, I'm using <a href="http://voip.ms">voip.ms</a> and having the phones directly connect to their servers via subaccounts. It's working great - I only have one DID hooked up, but depending on what the caller presses in the IVR (voice menu thing), it rings different sub-accounts in groups. I expected it to be a holdover solution until I had the time to set up a proper Asterisk install, but it's working well enough that I'm likely to keep it. That said, I initially had a lot of difficulty keeping the registration attached to the hardphones, while the softphones never had issues. Although it makes absolutely no sense, I want to say that there was a codec incompatibility, because once I turned off one of the codecs (forget which) on a hardphone, that hardphone has maintained registration forever.</div><div><br></div><div>Have you checked the guides on the <a href="http://voip.ms">voip.ms</a> wiki? I found them to be pretty helpful, particularly when I looked at the guides for hardware I don't actually have, so that I could cross-reference and get a sense as to what MUST be set versus what is flexible.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Feb 20, 2022 at 6:47 PM Bruce Dawson <<a href="mailto:jbd@codemeta.com">jbd@codemeta.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Anyone have any experience with Asterisk (the VOIP PBX software)?<br>
<br>
How about using IAX2 for communicating with a DID provider?<br>
<br>
How about with using the 'VOIP.ms' DID provider?<br>
<br>
I just have a few phones and Zoiper apps here, but lately, every time I <br>
change the dialplan, I seem to lose the IAX connection to the <a href="http://voip.ms" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">voip.ms</a> <br>
servers. (Not lose the network connection, but the registration and the <br>
ability to receive calls on my DIDs (I have about 4).<br>
<br>
I'm at the point where I might pay someone to help solve some of the <br>
problems.<br>
