[asterisk-users] Setting up Asterisk to make calls using a VoIP provider and the regular phone line

[Jai Rangi]

Hitesh,
Not sure if I understand your question. Let me try to explain again,

There are two thing in Asterisk,
Origination and Termination.

Origination: You have a DID (Virtual Phone line say from LA), people call
that Virtual line from anywhere in the world, and you will receive that call
to your asterisk server. based on yoru dialplan rules Asterisk sends that
call to your VoIP Phone registered on your asterisk. (Or regular phone
connected through VoIP ATA Ex GrandStream ATA).

Termination: Your VoIP phone registered on Asterisk wants call some number
anywhere in the world. Now your asterisk needs a termination provider, who
will receive call from your asterisk and will terminate that call to the
destination number.

Or you have two phones registered on your asterisk one in India, one is
Aanada, they can call each other without any origination or termination
provider.

The point is that origination and termination can be done through FXO OR FXS
card OR you can tie up with some one like www.didforsale.com who can do this
over the internet. 2nd one is always more cheaper, more options, much easy
to configure and troubleshoot.

Hope this will help you,

Jai
