<p>It turns out there's an undocumented (at least I could not find
it) restriction on IAX accounts with voip.ms - you can have only
one IAX account (i.e. DID) per IP address. (I found this out from
voip.ms' technical support.) With SIP, you can have as many DIDs
as you want. So I've converted two of my three IAX accounts to
SIP. That got two account/DIDs working, but not the last one - but
I think I have other problems with one that's not working.</p>
<p>I'm still working with voip.ms on the one DID that's not
working. Its sort-of an international number (US Virgin Islands)
and I think there may be some tariff restrictions on it that no
one knows about. But I could be wrong. It took many iterations
with voip.ms support to find out about the IAX restriction.</p>
<p>I do like voip.ms's services, and they have a technical support
staff that actually *tries* to answer the question. Its just
frustrating until you find the right person.<br>

<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out of date now, unfortunately.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>For my office, I'm using <a href="http://voip.ms"
moz-do-not-send="true">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>Have you checked the guides on the <a
href="http://voip.ms" moz-do-not-send="true">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>

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"

servers. (Not lose the network connection, but the
registration and the <br>
ability to receive calls on my DIDs (I have about 4).<br>

I'm at the point where I might pay someone to help solve some
of the <br>
