how to set a sip extension to sell minutes

Don't you think you should learn what you are doing before you sell service to customers.

Setting up a trixbox and reselling minutes is nothing short of screwing over people.

I have news for you buddy you are not a phone company.

JCRODZ -

I may be a jackass but that does not in any way change my statement.

The minute the customer interconnects to his box and places a phone call he just became a phone company.

I can make a general statement that anyone who installs an all in one ISO as a service provider is completely out of their league.

If the person was capable of setting up the resilient, redundant environment needed to be a service provided he would not have needed to ask this question.

VoIP gets a very bad name with shoddy mom and pop providers. I have a strong opinion on this issue and I will continue to share it.

It is no illegal to start with my minutes are overseas and my customers are overseas also, I wanted some opinions about What I'm doing I would of ask you but all I wanted is to know how to set it up. Is this a forum for help or a place for people like you to issue opinions when no one had asked you.
If you don't contribute to any help then don't even bother or waist your time criticizing others get busy and mine your business, unless you're going to give a constructive help

I think you should check bio's before you make statements such as this.

I am the CTO of a regional VoIP carrier in Northern Ohio. Over the years I have contributed to the development of IETF RFC2543/3261 (SIP) and placed more Asterisk and Open Source VoIP in carrier and enterprise environments than I care to think about.

This is not an attack on you, simply your business plan. I certainly did not make it personal. The name calling only serves to underscore my comments.

trixbox is not the appropriate platform for this. Certainly you do not use extensions as peers. I am not going to show you how to cheat and use trixbox for this application. If you had bothered to learn about FreePBX and Asterisk (the core of trixbox) as the tools to "increase your business" you would know how to setup and authenticate remote peers.

Instead you downloaded an ISO and decided that reselling minutes is a great idea.

Let me ask you a few questions about your business model -

1 - What type of clustering or redundancy do you plan on implementing?
2 - Since the users will be accessing the system remotely what perimeter security do you have in place?
3 - Have you considered a Session Border Controller to alleviate NAT traversal issues?
4 - If the traffic is traversing the US you must provision for CALEA, the ability to respond to lawful intercept orders

You may ask why I take this so seriously? The reason is customers can't easily differentiate between carriers that lack resources and infrastructure and providers such as ourselves that have made the commitment to locate our equipment in tier 3 data centers, peer with tier 1 providers and build business process that creates reliable service.

So the reverse of what you said is true. I have what you want. The sad thing is you don't want to actually listen to an expert.

By the way the context is wrong in your extension.

astromurfer could you please help me out in how to set it up.

Thanks

Can't pay for entertainment like this.

Now he is on his way to delivering crappy service to his victims, er I mean customers.

Notice how he did not respond to the architecture questions.

Just for a bit more ball busting as I am in a particularly pernicious mood, let's review Gus's posting history:

I am nothing if not consistent, this inquiry was how to setup his trunk, I flamed him on this post also.

Really JCRODZ? You've been doing it for 5 years and you come here last week to ask how to do it?

I don't want to call you a liar but, I will call you an idiot. Best of luck to you and your "LOTS OF MONEY".

My apologies to JCRODZ.

I had confused his post as being form the original poster, pctouch.

Relevant info to OP: You named your trunk new_provider and put your extension in the context from-trunk. Did you include your trunk information in the context of your extensions.conf?

Hijacked info: I have noticed that the majority of the "flaming" posts I have seem from SkyKing start with the OP asking for free information on how to use an automated install to make money without any R&D of their own; or when someone blatantly disregards laws, ignores common sense, infringes on ToS like agreements, or just plain out seems to be of shady character. I can understand his frustration of "up and comers" who undersell someone for the sole purpose of gaining customers and $$$ without providing adequate service to compensate. Then when the customer get's fed up with the less than professional service, bad reviews about the product in general circulate and a bad taste is left in the mouths of the general population about the overall product. If you are really in it to understand the product and eventually make a marketable solution, then at least start out like lots of others. Sell service to your friends and family at cost with no agreements necessary. Then, you get plenty of experience, no one loses financially, and you don't degrade the overall product to the general population.
