Linking an International Phone Number to an Inbound Bridge 

 

To Create an inbound bridge application 

  1. Go to the “Administrators” tab and click on the "Inbound Call Settings" . 

  1. Choose "Inbound Bridge," then "Add Inbound Bridge". We charge $1.95 per month for the bridge and a half-cent per minute for calls. 

  1. Give the bridge a descriptive name 

  1. Select the bill to person (usually the account admin) and choose a destination. 

  1. Click on "Save and Exit" 

  1. Open the newly created inbound bridge app and make a note of its SIP address (in my case its testbridge@example.onsip.com).

Activation by DIDWW can take as long as a couple of days. You will receive an email with your account information from them. If everything goes according to plan, then calls to your international number will provision to your OnSIP PBX. 

 

 

Please note:OnSIP has no formal business relationship with DID WW and is not responsible for numbers purchased through them. This post uses DID WW as an example of a company that offers international phone numbers. You can use this post as a guide for provisioning DID's, purchased through your preferred international carrier. You will need to use the OnSIPinbound bridge application to comply withRFC 3515.
