Using VoipBuster as SIP Outbound Service

I've just added VoipBuster to the poll for SIP service providers. Not only do their terms of service not make me nervous, but they're (a) dirt cheap and (b) provide free one-minute outbound calls, apparently to anyplace in the world — which is just perfect for testing some of my announce-only services.

To set up VoiceBuster, you need set the following in your management console or config.xml file:

VOIP User ID: name
VOIP Auth ID: name
VCS Contact Address: name@<your_external_IP_address>:<your_external_SIP_port>
Outbound call VOIP Gateway: sip.voipbusters.com

Since P2006 does not yet support STUN, you'll have to open a pinhole in your firewall and map <your_external_SIP_port> to the correct internal address.

I haven't yet tried outbound international calls, and I can't yet persuade Voxeo's SIP Phone to make direct outbound calls to the PSTN.

did you get voicebuster to work with build 82

Moshe did you get voicebuster working with build 82 of prophecy? If so can you copy/paste the exact section of your config.xml, like this:

<![CDATA[
<item name="VoipGateway1">sip.voipbuster.com</item>

<item name="Provider">custom</item>
<item name="Username">kmanley</item>
<item name="AuthID">kmanley</item>
<item name="Password">password</item>
<item name="Address">62.31.123.153:5060</item>
<item name="Bridged">0</item>

<item name="RegistrationAddress">sip:kmanley@sip.voipbuster.com</item>
<item name="RegistrationContact">sip:kmanley@62.31.123.153</item>
<item name="RegistrationDomain">sip:sip.voipbuster.com</item>
<item name="RegistrationTimeout" type="int">30</item>
]]>

I can't get it to work based on your instructions in the original post. By the way it's sip.voipbuster.com not sip.voipbusters.com

Thanks, Kevin

Can't make international outbound calls.

Hi Moshe,
thanks for the great resource for Prophecy 2006.

I have Prophecy 2006, build 118, and I'm trying to make international outbound calls.
So, I configured VOIP tab on Management Console like you suggested, but call does not pass. I checked Ethereal log, and according to Ethereal, voipbuster.com returns an error message - status code 401, unauthorized.
On router I opened ports: 5060-5070 (UDP), 10000-20000 (UDP).
Did you have problems making outbound calls from Prophecy?

Thanks,
Vasiliy.
