Seems to be being directed to "from-sip-external" context
instead of "from-trunk"

I see various references on the Web about putting "context = from-trunk"
in sip.conf. I have done so:
;========================================================
; If you need to answer unauthenticated calls, you should change this
; next line to 'from-trunk', rather than 'from-sip-external'.
; You'll know this is happening if when you call in you get a message
; saying "The number you have dialed is not in service. Please check the
; number and try again."
;context = from-sip-external ; Send unknown SIP callers to this context
; OK, let's change it. 2008 Aug 3:
context = from-trunk
;========================================================
Still doesn't seem to go to the right place.
Does anyone have some hints on how I might get this
to work?




If you edit the sip.conf
If you edit the sip.conf file it will get replaced. FreePBX owns all files that do not end in _custom.conf and as such can and will overwrite them when it see's fit to do so (some every time a change is saved, other times when upgrading a mudule, etc). The context from-sip-external is set from the sip_general_additional.conf file which is also re-generated automaticly.. The proper place to change the context for a incoming sip trunk is inside the sip trunk settings when you created the trunk.
Did you check the box to allow for anonymous sip connections in the general setting (under security setting)? If not it will not allow then to start.

OK. But if I edit them in the Web interface, they
change and are protected from being overwritten,
yes?

This what I have for sip_general_additional.conf. How
do I get it so that inbound calls go to the proper context?

And that would be within "extensions.conf", yes?

That could be my problem. However, I was under the impression
that allowing anonymous SIP connections is a security risk. Isn't
that the case?
No do not edit those files
No do not edit those files or you will loose your changes. FreePBX owns those files (Sip, extension, etc). The only files that FreePBX will not overwrite are files that end in _custom.conf (also sip_nat.conf). So when you "look" at sip.conf you will see a series of include lines. Some end in _custom.conf. Those are files that you can edit and/or create if they don't exist and place things in them that will NOT get overwritten.
The issue seems to be that your sip trunk has the wrong context so that should be addressed in the screen where you created the trunk. Place the line context=from_trunk in there.

So not "_custom.conf" files can't be edited the the Web
interface in any way? What about through MySQL?

Or, that and inbound call is not being directed to the proper
context.

Right.
>Place the line context=from_trunk in there.
Well, I have "context=from-trunk". I think it is supposed to
be a dash rather than an underscore, correct?
If so, it still doesn't work.
Inbound call not being directed to proper context
As strange as it may seem the solution to this problem was the
following:
PBX -> PBX Settings -> Inbound Routes > Click on the Route In Question ->
Under "Edit Incoming Route" there are 3 fields:
Description: Main-Inbound-Number
DID Number: 6013094718
Caller ID Number: DO NOT PUT THE PHONE NUMBER HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As bizarre as this might sound, do NOT put the phone number
in the "Caller ID Number" field!
By deleting this entry, the inbound calls were directed to the
proper context and the IVR.
This should be documented better since it is unclear that this
will foul things up if you put the DID number here.
Same Trouble
I have tried everything and still get the same message - "The number you ahve reached is not in service". Is there something else I can try? Please help.
