G729 codec with a provider

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hello

I have a provider that only supports G729, can I make calls with this with Asterisk or do I have to install the G729 codec?

Thanks

Asterisk supports G729, although you have to buy a license for it:

digium.com/en/products/voice/g729codec.php

It’s not terribly expensive.

I purchased the codec, should I receive a email from them with the link to download it?

yes u will receive an email with the download link and codec key

My understanding that if you have G.729-capable SIP-phones or ATAs then you don’t need transcoding on Asterisk and don’t need a license.
