[Asterisk-Users] Re: g729 to asterisk to g729 voip provider

[Erick Perez]

Hi, your project is indeed interesting, however for learning purposes
i do need to know the answer of at least:

1- Using sipura sip/g729 to connect to an asterisk server that will
server as a gateway to a VOIP provider(g729), all in g729 will require to
purchase codecs from Digium?

2- also, in this scenario the transcoding is almost non-existent right?

3- I have read many documents about the type of codecs, and g729 seems to
be a good trade between almost-toll quality and low bandwith usage
right?
