Could you guide how to configure outgoing context in Asterisk for making calls to real phone numbers? I’m interested in setting up Asterisk to make outbound calls, and I’d like to know what configurations are needed to achieve this effectively.
Additionally, I’m exploring alternative methods to configure the extension.conf file in Asterisk. Are there any other approaches or best practices I should consider?
A good place to start is with some examples in the Asterisk source tree, inside the configs/basic-pbx/ directory.
You’ll probably want a SIP trunk from an internet telephony company as well.
Besides extensions.conf, and the associated Asterisk-specific dialplan configuration, many prefer to control their call flows through their preferred programming languages using API tools that wrap around AGI, AMI Actions and Events, and ARI. For example, web searching for “Python Asterisk ARI” yields many results.
