Which general topic do you have
Hello,
I’m kind of looking into VOIP because I want to be able to make free international calls on occasion. I’m also a little unclear on some things, is this SIP Trip Phone - Apps - App Store - Nextcloud a VOIP service for being able to make international calls?
Or is it something related to some kind of SIP configuration? Found out about SIP when I looked into 3CX. is this VOIP thing different from the Talk function video call in NextCloud? If you are using VOIP and FreePBX, I would like to hear about your experience
With Nextcloud Talk you can do audio/video calls inside your system.
If you want to call traditional phones you need “VOIP” and phone numbers. This integration was briefly shown in the last “Talk Munich” but I’m not aware of any public docs now - see NextCloud Talk Phone (SIP) for discussion.
SIP trip phone is a “VOIP client” running inside of Nextcloud (which makes more or less no sense in my eyes.. but who knows) you still need either a PBX or public provider offering you the connection with the phone network.
There is some kind of SIP integration available, if you are using High Performance Backend for Talk, but I don’t know what exactly it does - I’ve failed to configure HPB to work without problems.
I have a SIP account, so no problem to use it. But I’d like to have some kind of easily configurable call-in function (people might join a Talk room calling to a specific number (SIP with a public number - just voice). Some other “competitive” WebRTC-based video call apps offer this (e.g.Cisco Webex). The easist way would be the identification via phone number in their profile which would be paired with a specific room.
