[Asterisk-Users] VoIP LD carriers

[John Todd]

My example had a Macro to do the dialing towards iconnect, since I 
got really tired of typing in the same dial routines (obviousl, 
that's what Macros are intended to replace.)

So let's simplify my example and your configs.  You have some extra 
stuff in there that probably you should not have on your "first try" 
at getting it working.

In sip.conf:

[iconnect]
type=friend
username=13121234567
password=1234
host=sipauth.deltathree.com


In your extensions conf:

exten => _91.,1,Dial,(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@iconnect)


That should do it.  Change your matching string to other stuff after 
you get successful calls going outbound; don't get fancy with 
matching strings until the fundamentals of the call are solid.

The ${EXTEN:1} string means "dial the number typed but remove the 
first digit", since iconnect doesn't want the leading "9" character.

Hint: run "tethereal port sip" in another window somewhere and watch 
what goes by on the network.  If you don't see any transmissions to 
the deltathree.com server, something is still munged in your 
extensions.conf file.
