You can make calls to regular phone numbers anywhere in the world as well as internal Diamondcard.us phone numbers using the IAX2 protocol. You can do this with a softphone, an Asterisk server or any other device which supports the IAX2 protocol.
Configure your softphone to use the following settings.
Protocol: IAX2 Host: usgw.ast.diamondcard.us Username: Your_AccountID Password: Your_PIN_code Audio codec: GSM, iLBC
Dial a number in international format: country code - area code - phone number. You can call other Diamondcard.us users by dialing their local Diamondcard.us number. You can find your local Diamondcard.us number at "personal #'s" page. To allow other Diamondcard.us users to call you set Registration ON in your softphone settings.
Configure your Asterisk server to use the following settings.
Add to your iax.conf.
; Diamondcard.us termination [diamondcard] type=peer username=Your_AccountID secret=Your_PIN_code disallow=all allow=gsm allow=ilbc ; Use usgw.ast.diamondcard.us if you want to connect to our USA server. host=usgw.ast.diamondcard.us
Add to your extensions.conf.
; Diamondcard.us termination [diamondcardterm] exten => _011.,1,Dial(IAX2/diamondcard/${EXTEN:3}) exten => _011.,2,Congestion
; Include 'diamondcardterm' context into your local context.
This will allow you to dial numbers with a prefix of 011. After the prefix dial the country code and then the number you wish to call.
