Hello. I’m having some issues making outbound calls on my Vitelity trunk from my Elastix v4 VM. When I dial out I get 30 seconds of silence followed by, “the number is not answering.” When I mentioned this to Vitelity’s support they stated that it sounded like an issue with my dial plan. I’m not too terribly versed in the IP telephony realm of technology so I tried to do some digging on my own before posting.
I believe the problem is that I don’t have a dial plan configured for the outbound trunk to read from. So my question is how do I create a basic dial plan in FreePBX so it can route my calls? I have one extension for the time being. Inbound calls are working perfectly so there’s no problem there.
Here’s a little background in case it’s needed. I have a dynamic IP from my ISP (they don’t offer static for residential service) so I created an account with No-IP for DDNS. I have NAT enabled and the DDNS config is set in Asterisk SIP Settings.
I set a dial pattern in my outbound route but from what I’ve read, a dial pattern isn’t synonymous with a dial plan.
Outgoing Settings for outbound trunk:
Trunk Name: vitelity-outbound
PEER Details
type=friend
host=outbound.vitelity.net
username=(Vitelity subaccount)
secret=password
fromuser=(Vitelity subaccount)
trustrpid=yes
sendrpid=yes
allow=all
nat=force_rport,comedia
context=from-trunk
canreinvite=no
fromdomain=xx.ddns.net
I don’t see anything for the from-trunk context in extension_custom.conf so I believe this is where the calls are failing.
Output from asterisk log after call:
