Chapter 2: Make Outbound Calls through a Designated GSM Trunk
Many carriers have call plans that let you make free or low-cost calls between other numbers through the same carrier network. The following guides you how to make outbound calls through designated GSM trunks to save call charges.
Scenario
In this scenario, you will route outbound calls through designated GSM trunks as follows:
Outbound Number Format | Trunk | Carrier |
---|---|---|
Number with prefix 92 | GSM trunk 1 | Carrier A |
Number with prefix 10 | GSM trunk 2 | Carrier B |
Diagram Description: A network diagram showing the flow for making outbound calls. It depicts dialing a number with prefix 92 (e.g., 921234567) through Carrier A and SIM Card 1, routed via the Yeastar TG400 Gateway and SIP Trunk to the Yeastar IPPBX, and then to an extension. Similarly, dialing a number with prefix 10 (e.g., 108192837) uses Carrier B and SIM Card 2.
Step 1: Create an outbound route on Yeastar IPPBX
To allow PBX users to call through the Yeastar TG400 gateway, you need to create an outbound route on Yeastar IPPBX.
- Log in to the PBX management portal, go to Call Control > Outbound Route, click Add.
- Configure the following settings for the outbound route and leave other settings as default:
- Name: Enter a name to help you identify it. For example, TO-TG400.
- Dial Pattern: Set the dial patterns according to your needs. In this example, set Pattern to X., which means that users can dial any number without limitation.
- Trunk: Select the SIP peer trunk that is connected to the Yeastar TG400. In this example, select the trunk TG400.
- Extension/Extension Group: Select the extensions that are allowed to make calls through this outbound route. In this example, select all the extensions.
- Click Save and Apply.
Step 2: Create two 'IP to Mobile' routes on Yeastar TG400
Create an 'IP to Mobile' route for carrier A, and create another one for carrier B. These two routes will match the dialed numbers from PBX and send numbers out through designated GSM trunks.
- Log in to the gateway web interface, go to Gateway > Route Settings > IP to Mobile, click Add IP to Mobile Route.
- In the pop-up window, configure the route, then click Save and Apply Changes. The following table shows the required configurations for carrier A and carrier B.
Setting | Description | For Carrier A | For Carrier B |
