Public SIP server in SA?

[amanjee]

Hi

Is there a free SIP server in SA like iptel.org's where I can register a user account for free? I want to register multiple accounts to use VOIP from multiple locations using ATA's

Thanks

[SkypeUser]

Yes, i wanna know that too. Maybe we should build a myadsl.co.za sip server? With all the expertise combined in this forum we can build a Kick-@$$ server!

Why waste your time with that?

It would be easier to setup a DUNDi registration server where everyone can peer to. You wouldn't need much bandwidth for the lookups, and being a distributed system, maintenance would be a lot less..

The only issue would be to get everyone to play nice and advertise their number ranges.

An alternative would be assign a number block to registers.

i like where ure ideas voidnull... share some more

[seburn]

I was thinking a SA skype gateway, The main reason to get one would be to allow use of local bandwidth cap options and skype locally?

I'm willing to sponsor a server. No problem at all.

Anyone interested shoot me a PM.

We can set this up easily, website and everything ... free! Either call routing through the server or dundi .... depends on the interest .. I'm not going to admin the beast myself so I'm after anyone capable of asterisk admin to give me a shout ;)

Sounds like a brilliant idea. I would like to get some hands on experience with setting up such a beast. Only prob is i live in klerksdorp :( . Maybe we should post this in the Off topic forum as there are more people to give there opinion.

Who's internet connection will we use for the calls? Mine? (i only have 3gb cap on a home dsl 384?). But i still like the idea of our own server.

I briefly checked their website, didnt see anything about a sip server. Any more info on this?

I think the operative word here is "free" SIP server for public use.

I'll go buy a server & organize enough bandwidth for it to start off with :) ... I'd just like some more interest before i go splash out ;)

I didn't see anything about a sip server either. ... let alone one that is free for public use.

[SkypeUser]

Youre right, theres way too little interest. Maybe we should post in Off Topic?

[MyDraadloos]

For the less tech savvy users, can you please explain the relative advantages of having a local SIP server ?

Plain English and no words longer than 10 letters.

[SkypeUser]

Well to start off with, you can hook your asterisk server on to it and make free calls? (to other users obviously)

[SkypeUser]

Any more info guys?

They don't advertise it as it's a service running for companies like VOIPsmart (www.voipsmart.co.za).

If you like I can get you an account.

[SkypeUser]

Get us some more info on that plz

[FISHborn]

Have a asterix box standing next to me that can do with some testing. have 512kb line enough for a few calls.

mail me if you like to do something fishbornagain @ gmail.com

[SkypeUser]

Well, You register your account (for free) and than make free calls to other guys (or branches via the PBX) on the server.

[VoIPCurios]

Would like to be part of this project. Have a bit of asterisk and linux admin experience.

[VoIPCurios]

Been thinking of this for a while now. Would be greate to have a asterisk network all over sa then you can setup call routing to breakout through a asterisk box in the town that you are calling. Then you would be able to call any landline number in sa and pay for a local call.

[ColinR]

Or, just get Telkom (http://www.mybroadband.co.za) closer Plan 4/5.

Much less hassle, and calls anywhere in SA are Free (1st 1000mins) and after hours are free (1st hour).

else...
VOIPBuster's (http://www.voipbuster.com) rates to SA are cheaper (depending on exchange) than Telkom (http://www.mybroadband.co.za) local call, so just use their sip interface, all sorted.

I've also got an asterisk server here that is begging to be let out in the wild :-)

[LordMerlin]

I'm also very interested, got a bored FC5 server here @ home with ADSL to work on. What's our options?

[Ronuk]

How about Enum base,we can peer any Itsp with over 400 worldwide for free calls. Needs to be set up with a local ITSp in S Africa.

FWIW, I've seen a website www.freevoip.co.za that's offering a free SIP server to register to.
