To dial another VSP, you dial [Sipbroker Code for that VSP] followed by [Extension Number].
Not all VSPs allow other networks to reach their accounts directly through VoIP.
The VSP Sipbroker codes are listed on the Sipbroker Provider White Pages list :
SIPBroker - Provider White Pages
Any Provider marked with a Green Check mark is successfully allowing calls from other networks to reach their accounts using VoIP and Sipbroker look-ups to set up the call.
Providers with a
Red "
X" are not allowing calls to go through to their accounts.
Freshtel with Sipbroker Code *247 has a
Red "X" against its listing, an as such is not connecting Sipbroker calls successfully.

what dial plan rules should I set in voxalot for this? is it as simple as setting the freshtel code *274, followed directly by my friends freshtel number and routing it to the Sipbroker provider?
|
Voxalot has automatic routing rules set up to handle calls to other VSPs using Sipbroker routing.
So to call an account on another network, you can dial [*247-xx...xx] where "xx...xx" is the other party's extension number. The call will be set up if the other party is allowing calls from other networks.
See more info at -
SIPBroker - Login
In the case of Freshtel, the call will not be successful because Freshtel is not allowing "Peering" from other networks.
Also, your IP phone or ATA must allow leading "*" in the dialing pattern.
In general, you only need to set up dialling rules for using landline calling if you have multiple VSPs and want to optimize your call costs based on terminating destination.
