How to route calls to your SIP network with an outbound call

In the Twilio console, search for and purchase an available phone number capable of making outbound calls. You'll use this phone number as the "From" phone number when you initiate an outbound call.

1. Configure Credential List
   1. Log in to your twilio account go to programmable voice. Select “credential lists”
   2. Click the “+” icon to create credential list.
   3. Add a Friendly Name as Endpoint, Username (this can be E164 number, Extention number or name) as UserA and Password as yourpassword and click Create. Note: The credential username and password created here will be used on your SIP Endpoints for authentication.
2. Configure SIP Domain
   1. Select “Domains”
   2. Click the “+” icon to create SIP Domain.
   3. Add a Friendly Name as T1 and a unique SIP URI as Trunk1. Note: SIP URI names needs to be unique, I have used Trunk1 in my example. You might have to find a name that is available
   4. Scroll down to "Voice Authentication" and associate the "Credential Lists" Endpoint that you created
   5. Scroll down to "SIP Registration" and click "Enabled"
   6. In "SIP Registration Authentication" associate the "Credential Lists" that you created. Then click "Save"

1. Download and install SIP Endpoint. Zoiper is used for example
2. Provide login name - UserA@Trunk1.sip.us1.twilio.com (do add us1 region parameter to your sip domain) and password
   • Username and password from Credential List Username
   • Yourdomain from SIP Domains. For example, Trunk1.sip.us1.twilio.com (do add us1 region parameter to your sip domain while configuring zoiper)
3. Click "Next/continue" to confirm the Domain
4. Optional settings can be skipped
5. Done! You see in Zoiper that it is "Registered" and has "Tick" next to your login name.
6. You can also verify the successfully registered endpoints under your SIP domain > Registered SIP Endpoints in the Twilio console

We will now write the TwiML for our application. Because this is a static application, we will use a TwiML Bin. Visit the TwiML Bin page and click the + icon to add a new bin.

Set the Friendly Name as SIP Outbound call and copy and paste the TwiML below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
  <Say>Welcome to xyz.com. Your call will be routed to an agent now</Say>
  <Dial>
    <Sip>sip:UserA@Trunk1.sip.us1.twilio.com</Sip>
  </Dial>
</Response>

1. Go to your Twilio Number page
2. Click the Number you have purchased
3. Scroll down to "Voice" under "A Call Comes in" select your configured TwiML Bin as SIP Outbound call from the dropdown menu and click "Save"

Take your cellphone and dial the Twilio Number you purchased. You should hear a notification that you are being transferred and then an outbound SIP call will be made. Congratulations!

Retrieve your Twilio account credentials

First, you'll need to get your Twilio account credentials. They consist of your AccountSid and your Auth Token. They can be found on the home page of the console.

There are a few key parameters to drill into when making the outbound call.

• "From" - the username or number you are calling from
• "To" - login name of your SIP Endpoint (Zoiper). For example, sip:UserA@Trunk1.sip.us1.twilio.com (do add us1 as a region parameter to your SIP Domain)
• "Twiml" - The TwiML instructions on what should happen when the other party picks up the phone.

Visit the TwiML Bin page and click the + icon to add a new bin.

Set the Friendly Name as Notification and copy and paste the TwiML below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  <Say>Well done you have successfully made an outbound SIP call from Twilo using an API</Say>
