Successfully migrated my rotary phones over from a FRITZ!Box 7490 to a Grandstream HT802 and an Asterisk server on my #NixOS server.

Finally I’m able to assign any internal numbers I want and don’t have to go with the Fritzbox’s stupid defaults.

My dial plan now also automatically distinguishes between internal and external numbers. Everything with 3 digits or more is treated as external and routed through Telekom.

What a relief!

Dear Fedi,

I would like to have a simple SIP Client, connected to EPVPN, that plays a simple Audio-File.
Other than https://docs.asterisk.org/Getting-Started/Hello-World, I didn't find any good Resources. The Asterisk Documentation just talks about it being an SIP Server.

Do any of you know, how to do it?
Any Help would be appreciated

Back in 2007/2008, when I was doing my civilian service driving for the Göttinger Tafel, I sometimes had a coworker who would tell me about his #Asterisk setup nonstop, down to the tiniest details.

Now, 19 years later, I’m finally setting up my own Asterisk installation. So far, I have it running in a #NixOS container, and I can call it from a SIP client on my iPhone to get a spoken “Hello World” reply.
