Intelligent Call Routing Example:

VoIP Gateway let you use 3 VoIP/SIP providers at the same time. VoIP/SIP providers are

96

localcheap.com

, longdischeap.com and mobilecheap.com

. Each provider has its price for different type of calls and I can set the following rule for each providers.

1.

Phone 1: For Local calls: I use localcheap.com that charges $0.01 per minute to all local calls. I set a dial rule, <:03>[123]x.T, on my phone port 1.

Localcheap.com is the default VoIP provider I set on phone port 1. When I call out any number start with 1 or 2 or 3 and plus rest of the phone number for local call, 03 is always prepended in front of these number. If 23295 are dialed, 03-2-32935 is the actual phone number called out via localcheap.com provider.

2.

Phone 2: For Mobile calls: I use mobilecheap.com that charges $0.25 per minute to all local calls.

I set a dial rule, <123:09>39x.T, on my phone port 2.

Mobilecheap.com is the default VoIP provider I set on phone port 2. When I call out 123-39-45678 for a mobile call, 123 is replaced with 09. Therefore, 09-39-45678 is the actual phone number called out via Mobilecheap.com provider.

The Intelligent Call Gateway not only saves time from changing VoIP settings to different provider to make call get routed to specific gateway(s) automatically but also taking advantage of different call rate.
