[Freeswitch-users] How to bridge to external using URL, which is correct?

Mon Oct 26 20:25:54 UTC 2020

Thanks again David for the last tip. It did not work but I am posting how I got it to work in case this info is useful to others:

I could not get the callerid passed no way using a variety of methods using a gateway. The param mentioned did not work. Years ago, passing callerid through worked but due to spoofing I think ITSPs are eliminating this capability.

I gave up and just for kicks tried INTERNAL, and got it to work! I tried to pass sip auth name, password and realm and I kept getting not authorized even though I used the correct info. Then, I remembered my ITSP callcentric.com had info that stated if a URI came in from a non-callcentric account use “in.callcentric.com <http://in.callcentric.com/>”. Since there is no gateway using internal, I removed the sip authorization, add “in." to the url, and bingo, the call went through, forwarded to push server, rang both iPhones, and passed the callerid! One caveat though, I had people call me to test and I always got the number not always the name. For instance, had someone call from Home Depot, I got the number but no name. Calls from landlines worked for both. Will need to look into this further but at least now the callerid is back when Freeswitch bridges a call to our iPhones.

Hope this helps someone someday. I worked years on this, all January, and finally all the last 3 days. My line is a simple:

sofia/internal/12345678901130 at in.callcentric.com <mailto:sofia/internal/12345678901130 at in.callcentric.com>
The number is the account number followed by 3 digit extension (130).

I am changing from calling the 2 mobile numbers directly because sometimes mobile VM is tripped because of 30 second max ringing instead of allowing FS to handle it and we miss messages. Now the timeout is handled via the bridge parameters.

This one doesn’t do authentication. (Unless you add it like you said, setting user/pass on the bridge, but I’ve never done it that way)

I am missing something.
