    I have multiple sip trunks, in this example I will use 2

    Sip trunk A needs all calls prefixed with 123#

    Sip trunk B needs all calls prefixed with 456#

    If I create a outbound route for NXXNXXXXX to use trunk A with prefix 123# and the call setup fails how do I move on to Trunk B which needs a different prefix

    If we could have a option of putting the prefix in the trunk programming it would work, please let me know if there is a way to do this.

     

    Thank you,

    Do you want to prepend that numbers? Are required by your provider?

    Each provider requires every call to have a prepend, 123#NXXNXXXXX, 123#1NXXNXXXXX, and so on.

    I think I used the wrong term in my first post, “prefix”. I need to prepend each call going out to these providers.

    I’m thinking if I could set the prepend in the trunk settings then in outbound routes I could list multiple trunks.

    I am not sure I fully understand, but I think I do.  I have to prepend a “tech prefix” to each call that includes an asterisk (“*”).  I did it this way and it seems to work: I have (3) three entries all with the Prepend listed below:

    Prepend

    techprefix* (The number that’s put in front of each call that I make)

    Prefix

    Nothing there

    Pattern

    +1NXXNXXXXXX

    1NXXNXXXXXX

    NXXNXXXXXX

    I hope this is what you was looking for and it works for you.

    Thank you, but that’s not what I am looking for, what i need is if a outbound call is made to NXXNXXXXXX I need it routed to my first trunk like this 123#NXXNXXXXXX if the call is rejected it needs to try the next trunk which needs 456#NXXNXXXXXX adding the prepend for the first call attempt is simple but you can’t define a prepend change when moving to the next trunk.

    A new version of VitalPBX has been released, on this version it is possible to send an outbound routes to a failover destination, this can be useful to resolve your problem, you can create two outbound routes, one of them who prepend 123# and the other who prepend #456.

    The first outbound route with the prepend 123# will have as destination the next outbound route with the prepend #456.
