Nope...no need to have a VoXalot server in Turkey to use a Turkish provider
The 2 call legs are:
1. ATA---VoXalot---Turkish Provider (completely over the internet)
2. Turkish Provider ---- PSTN in Turkey (over the actual phone network for which a charge applies...in this case a local charge)
If all you wanted to deal with was the Turkish Provider...you could do this directly from your ATA (no VoXalot involved).
Where VoXalot comes in handy is if you have a few of these (eg. one for local calls to turkey, one for local calls to germany, one to italy, one for australia....you get the picture) then VoXalot acts as the central place where all the details are stored whereas your ATA only deals with VoXalot...
Hope that makes sense...
