How do i make calls to PSTN numbers or GSM numbers. Please indicate what will be needed Warm Regards, -- TG Maphutha
Hi Tshepo, Welcome to FreeSWITCH! Hold on tight - telephony and VoIP are a wild ride. :) To make calls out to the PSTN you'll need some sort of connectivity, usually a SIP trunk. Do you have that? If so we have a number of pages on our wiki that are dedicated to assisting with specific providers: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/SIP_Provider_Examples Also, it looks like you are using the example config. If you open conf/vars.xml you can set the default_provider variable and it will use whichever provider you create. We have default dialing for NANPA numbers. Look in conf/dialplan/default/01_example.xml for those. Modify as needed. Lastly, drop by the #freeswitch channel on irc.freenode.net if you want some real-time help. -MC On Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 1:34 AM, Tshepo Maphutha <tshepo.maphutha@gmail.com>wrote:

Hi Tshepo, You have to search for mod_gsmopen - gsm network, and dahdi for pstn. Both informations are in freeswitch wiki. Regards. On Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 10:34 AM, Tshepo Maphutha <tshepo.maphutha@gmail.com

Mod_dahdi is one TDM module. The main one is mod_freetdm though, which works with a lot more cards. Both would need you to have a ISDN line (PRI/BRI) and a TDM card to interface with it. Mod_gsmopen uses a USB mobile dongle to make calls via the gsm network. If you don't have any of the above hardware available, the usual way most people send calls to the PSTN is via a SIP provider as Mike said. There are plenty around. All will need you to create an account they will bill you through. You would probably set them up as a Sofia gateway. Whether calling to a landline or mobile number, the methods would be the same. Although if you have multiple routes it may affect the route you use (eg gsmopen may be cheaper than freetdm or sip providers to call mobiles, and visa versa for landlines). Calling via any if the above would involve creating a dial plan extension that matches the number(s) you want to call and sends them via one of the above using the bridge app. The dial string determines the module used, the route used and number dialed. You can use $1 etc to generate the disk string from the matched number. There's plenty of info on the wiki. Steve on iPhone On 15 Nov 2012, at 22:12, Tomasz Szuster <tomasz.szuster@gmail.com> wrote:
