Tutorial about settin up IPKall Toll Free Number

First, in your extensions_override_freepbx.conf file that we created above, add another line that looks like the following and place it just under the demo line in bold. Change the 701 extension to match an actual ring group or extension number on your system and then reload your dialplan: asterisk -rx "dialplan reload".

exten => ipkall,1,Goto(from-trunk,701,1)


Second, go to dyndns.org and sign up for a dynamic host name with the external IP address of your Asterisk system. You can use any name you like... except nerdvittles.kicks-ass.net. That's already taken.

Third, go to IPkall's web site and fill out the form to get your free DID in Seattle. Choose SIP. Choose an area code for your free phone number. For your SIP phone number, enter ipkall. For your SIP proxy, insert the fully-qualified domain name that you chose from dyndns.org. Or you can just use the public IP address of your Asterisk server. Insert your real email address (or you'll never get your phone number) and create a password. Then wait for your email message with your new telephone number. Now call yourself on the number you just received. It doesn't get much easier than that.
