[Asterisk-Users] the g729 situation

[Uriel Carrasquilla]

I am using SIP/GrandStream connecting to Asterisk over the Internet.  I
prefer not to use g729 and uLaw/aLaw uses too much bandwidth.  What would be
the next logical choice for codec (given that GSM is not supported) and be
comparable to GSM?

NuFone only had 3 G.729 licenses and when we went to add more it blew up
our system and now we have none.  Anyways, we are not very fond of the
VoiceAge licensing terms.  We prefer iLBC.
