Seems to be being directed to “from-sip-external” context
instead of “from-trunk”

I see various references on the Web about putting "context = from-trunk"
in sip.conf. I have done so:
;========================================================
; If you need to answer unauthenticated calls, you should change this
; next line to ‘from-trunk’, rather than ‘from-sip-external’.
; You’ll know this is happening if when you call in you get a message
; saying “The number you have dialed is not in service. Please check the
; number and try again.”
;context = from-sip-external ; Send unknown SIP callers to this context
; OK, let’s change it. 2008 Aug 3:
context = from-trunk
;========================================================
Still doesn’t seem to go to the right place.
Does anyone have some hints on how I might get this
to work?
If you edit the sip.conf file it will get replaced. FreePBX owns all files that do not end in _custom.conf and as such can and will overwrite them when it see’s fit to do so (some every time a change is saved, other times when upgrading a mudule, etc). The context from-sip-external is set from the sip_general_additional.conf file which is also re-generated automaticly… The proper place to change the context for a incoming sip trunk is inside the sip trunk settings when you created the trunk.
Did you check the box to allow for anonymous sip connections in the general setting (under security setting)? If not it will not allow then to start.

OK. But if I edit them in the Web interface, they
change and are protected from being overwritten,
yes?
The context from-sip-external is set from the
sip_general_additional.conf file which is
also re-generated automatically.
This what I have for sip_general_additional.conf. How
do I get it so that inbound calls go to the proper context?
;====================================================
; do not edit this file, this is an auto-generated file by freepbx
; all modifications must be done from the web gui
No do not edit those files or you will loose your changes. FreePBX owns those files (Sip, extension, etc). The only files that FreePBX will not overwrite are files that end in _custom.conf (also sip_nat.conf). So when you “look” at sip.conf you will see a series of include lines. Some end in _custom.conf. Those are files that you can edit and/or create if they don’t exist and place things in them that will NOT get overwritten.
The issue seems to be that your sip trunk has the wrong context so that should be addressed in the screen where you created the trunk. Place the line context=from_trunk in there.

So not “_custom.conf” files can’t be edited the the Web
interface in any way? What about through MySQL?

Or, that and inbound call is not being directed to the proper
context.

Right.
Place the line context=from_trunk in there.
Well, I have “context=from-trunk”. I think it is supposed to
be a dash rather than an underscore, correct?
I have tried everything and still get the same message - “The number you ahve reached is not in service”. Is there something else I can try? Please help.
Your provider is treating you as an extension rather than a peer (VERY common for commercial VoIP providers). In that case the entire user configuration section of the trunk settings is simply ignored, but you must still have a context=from-trunk statement and in that case it has to go in the peer details, just as you discovered.
