More Fun With Trixbox and Skype – Dialing Skype Users
Calling a Skype account with an IP/Soft phone is nearly impossible since phones traditionally only support numbers and not letters. To make it possible to call Skype accounts, you simply add an extension that will call the Skype Account, here is how:
- Add a new extension, make sure to select “CUSTOM” type in the drop down
- Enter the extension you want to use fort he Skype Account
- Enter the display name
- Under Device Options, in the Dial box, enter the following: /SIP/[Skype Trunk Name]/[SkypeName]
- Save and Apply
You can now call that extension and it will forward to the Skype User.
NOTE: The steps above assume you already have an installed Skype Sip Trunk using SipToSis
