You can make calls to regular phone numbers anywhere in the world as well as internal Voovox.com phone numbers using the IAX2 protocol. You can do this with a softphone, an Asterisk server or any other device which supports the IAX2 protocol.
Configure your softphone to use the following settings.
Protocol: IAX2 Host: usgw.ast.voovox.com Username: Your_AccountID Password: Your_PIN_code Audio codec: GSM, iLBC
Dial a number in international format: country code - area code - phone number. You can call other Voovox.com users by dialing their local Voovox.com number. You can find your local Voovox.com number at "personal #'s" page. To allow other Voovox.com users to call you set Registration ON in your softphone settings.
Configure your Asterisk server to use the following settings.
Add to your iax.conf.
; Voovox.com termination [voovox] type=peer username=Your_AccountID secret=Your_PIN_code disallow=all allow=gsm allow=ilbc ; Use usgw.ast.voovox.com if you want to connect to our USA server. host=usgw.ast.voovox.com

[voovoxterm]
exten => _011.,1,Dial(IAX2/voovox/${EXTEN:3})
