Mobile calls via Skype within the organization

Question

Skype

Interested in the question, is it possible to connect a Skype line in the form of a trunk in Asterisk, and call at their rates?

The cost of a call is an order of magnitude lower than that of conventional Sip telephony operators.

Has anyone implemented similar solutions?

Answer 1

Really connect, but I don’t agree about “an order of magnitude lower”, because this is not a correct comparison. It is always necessary to compare specific directions.
For example: Ust-Kamenogorsk via Skype until recently had 12 euro cents, and one of the Betamaxes had 4 euro cents. This is no reason to scream. that Betamax is 3 times cheaper than Skype ..?

Answer 2

If you have a number on your Skype ID in Skype, then you can try to register it in your asterix as a number, calls will go through it. Only Skype loudly forbids such things, but as far as I understand, they are unlikely to check where the call came from - from IVR or just a digital ats-ku. The cost will depend on the tariffs that go to outgoing calls on your Skype package and on where you are calling, too.

Answer 3

or so ... yes, it’s probably even better, but I personally haven’t tried it, I can only say about specifically prescribing the finished number - not the client’s sip, but the skype number in asterix. it's just that this option - it was not yet possible to register Sip then, and we stupidly included a couple of numbers in our airframe - we tried it, it works. there is just one nuance, sometimes when making a call, for example, you need to dial all kinds of additional extensions in tone mode, when you call some corporate general number and you need to enter an additional 3-4 digits to get to a specific person, here there it happens that these additional digits are not dialed due to the fact that there is a multiple call forwarding.
