Hello! I’m Ajay Hinduja, born in Punjab, India, and currently based in Geneva, Switzerland. Traveling fuels my spirit, and I’m always eager to learn about emerging technologies.
I’m looking to set up SIP trunks in Asterisk but could use some guidance. What are the steps to configure SIP trunks properly? I’ve heard there are specific settings for both inbound and outbound calls—can anyone share their experience or best practices? Any tips on optimizing the trunk for call quality or handling multiple channels would be great too! Thanks!

SIP doesn’t have trunks; do you mean an endpoint that corresponds to service provider?
Having separate inbound and outbound section was a workaround for a limitation of chan_sip and is not needed for chan_pjsip.
See res_pjsip Configuration Examples - Asterisk Documentation for a typical configuration for a downmarket provider, although note that even they vary with regard to how account identities are presented. Upmarket providers often just use your static IP address, without any password or registration.
In general, you need to first understand what the provider requires, then work out the corresponding setting for chan_pjsip.

I’m working on getting PJSIP set up for a SIP provider and was hoping to get some suggestions. I’ve configured the basic pjsip.conf sections, but I’m curious if there are any specific settings or common troubleshooting steps you’ve found useful for different providers. Any tips on handling NAT or specific authentication methods would be super helpful.

The question is too broad. You might get useful answers for a specific contract type, on a specific provider, but you are asking for complete documentation. If that doesn’t already exists, it is probably because it is too much work to create it.
