VoIPBuster
First you should create an account with VoIPBuster. This can be done in the VoIP-Buster-software. (Windows only) These login-data must later be entered in the Asterisk configuration. Using VoIPBuster, you can make calls to landlines for free, for at least 2 minutes, possibly longer per call. The max is a total of 60 minutes. When updating your credit, calling to the Netherlands (Landline) is free, to the Netherlands (Mobile) 0.290 euro/minute. (more expensive than most regular operators) More about the pricing
After registering an account with VoIPBuster, you also receive an email with the accountinfo. (username, passwd)
The Asterisk-site has a quickstart to setup the PBX. (starting from "Configuration")

Configuring by editing config-files
This method is depricated, it is easier to use the web-gui.
A few config-files have to be changed in order to get the system to work with VoIPBuster
Adding to sip.conf:
[voipbuster] type=peer host=sip1.voipbuster.com username=GEBRUIKERSNAAM secret=WACHTWOORD notransfer=yes insecure=very externip=JEEXTERNEIP context=voipbuster-out
register => GEBRUIKER:WACHTWOORD@sip1.voipbuster.com
More information on VoIPBuster homepage
At this point there is a (peer) connection active. The only thing left is making it work.
extensions.conf
[voipbuster-out]
exten => _0[12345789]XXXXXXXX,1,Dial,IAX2/voipbuster/0031${EXTEN:5}
exten => _0[12345789]XXXXXXXX,2,Congestion
exten => _XXXXXXX,1,Dial,IAX2/voipbuster/0031[b]35[/b]${EXTEN}
exten => _XXXXXXX,2,Congestion
[home]
exten => 7500,1,VoicemailMain
exten => 7500,2,Hangup
exten => 9999,1,Ringing
exten => 9999,2,Dial(SIP/9999,20,T)
exten => 9999,3,Voicemail(u9999)
exten => 9999,4,Hangup
include => voipbuster-out
exten => _06XXXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@pstn-spa3k,60,)
exten => _06XXXXXXXX,2,Congestion
Previous code will operate as follows: All extensions of 10 digits, starting with a "0", will replace the leading zero with "0031" (Dutch country-code), which is needed for using VoIPbuster.
7500 is the voicemail
9999 is de incomming line, for Voipbuster-IN. At this moment, this does not yet work.
06 numbers are routed through the installed modem-card, because this is cheaper than using VoIPbuster.
Example of SIP.conf:
[9999] type=friend language=nl host=dynamic context=home secret=WACHTWOORD mailbox=9999 dtmfmode=rfc2833 disallow=all allow=ulaw [5555] ; If you're using Asterisk, this goes into the Incoming settings ; For your Trunk type=friend host=dynamic ; If using Asterisk@home, change the below line to context=from-internal context=home secret=WACHTWOORD dtmfmode=rfc2833 disallow=all allow=ulaw insecure=very [pstn-spa3k] ; If you're using Asterisk, this section goes into the Outgoing Settings ; for your trunk. type=peer auth=md5 host=134.145.134.18 port=5061 secret=WACHTWOORD username=asterisk fromuser=asterisk dtmfmode=rfc2833 ; If using Asterisk@home, change the below line to context=from-internal context=home insecure=very
If all went well, it is now possible to make a call using VoIPBuster. Using a free account, the call is limited to 2 minutes.
It is also possible to get a telephone number with VoIPbuster. See their site for more info.
