SIP/IAX client configuration

Different SIP clients (hardware SIP phones, ATAs and software ones) have different configuration screens, but all have a common set of configuration parameters. In the table below, username and password are your 9-digit long login name and 6-digit long password you received in the sign-up confirmation e-mail.
Configuration parameterValue
SIP server (or proxy, or domain)sip.callwithus.com
SIP proxy (or "Outbound Proxy")leave blank
STUN serverstun.callwithus.com, port 3478

Here are the examples of different VOIP clients configuration (thanks to our users!)

If your SIP client is behind a firewall, make sure your firewall does not block UDP port 5060 and the range of UDP ports used for voice transmission (see your firewall and SIP client documentation for details).

Configuration of IAX protocol-based clients is very similar to SIP ones. The firewall should be open on UDP port 4569.

Caller ID setup

We suggest you to add your real telephone number (starting with the area code, 5557772222 for example) to caller ID ("Add Caller Id" menu in your control panel). When you place a call this real number will be shown to the called party. Caller ID spoofing and/or telemarketing calls are not allowed with our service.

DID destination setup

You can set up your DID to forward incoming calls to PSTN or cell phone line or to any VOIP destination. See more details in Q&A section.
