<div dir="ltr">Hitesh,<br>Not sure if I understand your question. Let me try to explain again, <br><br>There are two thing in Asterisk, <br>Origination and Termination.<br><br>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). <br>
<br>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. <br>
<br>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. <br><br>The point is that origination and termination can be done through FXO OR FXS card OR you can tie up with some one like <a href="http://www.didforsale.com">www.didforsale.com</a> who can do this over the internet. 2nd one is always more cheaper, more options, much easy to configure and troubleshoot. <br>
<br>Hope this will help you,<br><br> Jai<br> w<a href="http://www.didforsale.com/" target="_blank">ww.didforsale.com</a><br>

Hi Jai,<br>
<br>
If I understand correctly then the DID will enable to call me on the<br>
hardphone connected to the Asterisk. Will it also enable me to call<br>
out using the PSTN line at my home in India from Canada?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
Best REgards,<br>
