Getting Started with Fonoster

Fonoster provides excellent documentation to help you set up your environment.

To get started, please follow their Quickstart Guide

VoIP.ms Sub Account configuration

To register a SIP trunk in Vapi you will need a sub-account. To create a Sub Account, in your VoIP.ms Customer Portal go to Sub Accounts >> Create Sub Account.

Creating a Sub Account for Vapi

Use these parameters for the Sub Account:

1.1 Protocol: SIP

1.2 Authentication type: User/Password Authentication

1.3 Username: Any name of your choice (E.g. 100000_Vapi)

1.4 Password: Any password that meets the security requirements (Minimum 15 characters. Upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters are required)

1.5 Device type: Asterisk, IP PBX, Gateway or VoIP Switch

1.6 CallerID Number: I use a system capable of passing its own CallerID.

1.7 Max Expiry: 180 (seconds).

1.8 Click on Create Account.

 All the settings not mentioned can be left with the default values or be adjusted according to your use-case needs.

Vapi configuration

To use Vapi with VoIP.ms you will need to add a Custom SIP Trunk. For this, you will need your Sub Account username, password, and the IP address of your preferred VoIP.ms Point of Presence.

Adding the SIP trunk

To add a new SIP trunk in Vapi, follow these steps:

1. Log into your Vapi's dashboard: Vapi - Dashboard

2. Open the sidebar, and click on your username at the bottom.

3. Click on Settings.

4. Click on Integrations.

5. On the list of integrations search for SIP Trunk Credentials.

6. Click on + Configure New SIP Trunk.

Fill the SIP configuration with these values:

1. Name: Any name of your choice (E.g. VoIPms trunk)

2. IP address/domain: Your Preferred VoIP.ms POP Server IP address (E.g. For example, for losangeles4.voip.ms use 208.100.60.38).
