Hi Michael,

Those gtalk users. Do they have phone number assigned to it? Or give more detail. It hard to guess what do you have.

hello samv,

Do they have phone number assigned to it?

no,they are simple gtalk users,no google voice account purchased.

i only want to be able to call them from my sip phones,
i am not interested using google voice as a trunk to make outbound calls,
only to call gtalk users while they are logged in..

thanks again.

Michael.

See below

Sam, could you upload a copy of both your extensions.conf & sip.conf? Thanks in advance!

Sam:

Your method is working awesome! Thanks very much!

Having said that, I have tiny issues with incoming calls.
Please note, I get below CLI outputs.

Ultimately, my elastix answers the call then hangs up right away.
With lack of understanding of exten commands, I'm guessing it's got something to do with 'pstn-custom-incoming', coded in 'extensions_googlevoice.conf'? Where do I find this and what does it do?

exten => MY_GMAIL1@gmail.com,n,Goto(pstn-custom-incoming,s,1)

Please note, directly sending calls to an extension (ie: 5000) works fine!
exten => MY_GMAIL1@gmail.com,n,Dial(SIP/5000,60)

Please enlighten me.
Thanks again!

Hi Michael,

Add this context to extensions_custom.conf

[pstn-custom-incoming]

exten => s,1,Answer(5)
exten => s,n,Macro(user-callerid,)
exten => s,n,Set(__FROM_DID=${CALLERID(num)})
exten => s,n,Gosub(app-blacklist-check,s,1)
exten => s,n,ExecIf($[ "${CALLERID(name)}" = "" ] ,Set,CALLERID(name)=${CALLERID(num)})
exten => s,n,Set(__CALLINGPRES_SV=${CALLINGPRES_${CALLINGPRES}})
exten => s,n,SetCallerPres(allowed_not_screened)
;exten => s,n,Authenticate(password,) ; If yu want password protect. then put your password here.
exten => s,n,Read(InnerLine,vm-enter-num-to-call,0,skip,1,0)
exten => s,n,Dial(Local/${InnerLine},60,m)
exten => s,n,Playback(all-circuits-busy-now&pls-try-call-later)
exten => s,n,Playback(goodbye)
exten => s,n(end),Hangup

You will hear message " Please enter number you wish to call ". Then enter what ever extension you want to call.

Enjoy.

Sam

Sam:

YAR DA MAN!
It's working beautifully!
I wasn't exactly looking for DISA function you provided, nonetheless everything is in order.
Thanks!

Hi guys, thanks for the information here, I was able to get it up running.

However, I had similar issues with incoming call being hanged up for the 1st google voice account. But I was able to input an extension to make it work after it being forwarded to a specific extension.

Is it possible to forward it to a "group"? I tried using ex: group# "600" and put the 600 there, and it did not seem to do the trick.

also, can we directly foward it to an IVR?

Lastly, is it possible to allow GV's incoming calls rout to the main asterisk server? and give me the freedom to adjust the settings under the "Inbound routes" in the web UI? which in return gives me easier control over the routing abilities through the web interface.

Or, are those options not possible unless I can find an DID trunk setup and forward the GV number to the DID trunk?

Thanks in advance

Of cause, yes, once you can make GV lunch into your system. That's it mean you can tweak the GV the way you want it work in your system. You can direct it to anywhere even through on another asterisk on another world. Then make a local call on that country. I can't go into detail on that.

I don't like to use GV module which is I cannot do much thing from gui. It's too limit the way I want to do thing.

Sam,

I am just dabbling my hands on Elastix today and did the first install. I am trying to setup the configuration to actually make some calls but have few questions

1. Can I use google voice for trunking/DID etc as opposed to any other trunking provider?
2. Where do I find the files you mentioned in the message to edit?
3. I am a small business owner and rather get this done by someone correctly. Can you help? Or do you recommend someone?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Umya
