Well, that was easy. Just surprised the heck out of my wife, who didn't believe the caller ID she saw on the phone... But the call from downstairs in Elmira to upstairs in Elmira gets routed through Toronto. That's kinda strange (and unwanted), but I'll fix that when I install an Asterisk or equivalent. Thanx, Tim!
Any way, I discovered that voip.ms says you aren't supposed to be charged for voip.ms to voip.ms calls even if you use the external phone number. (though, I haven't tested it out)
Yup, works for me. I can make calls using the regular DID phone number for the various voip.ms accounts I manage, and the charge is always 0. That was an unexpected bonus! Does anyone know if the Toronto Asterisk Users Group is still meeting? http://taug.ca/ seems to be down... - --Bob. On 04/01/16 02:31 PM, Tim Tisdall wrote:

Each phone (analog, VOIPphone or SIP client) has its own sub-account on voip.ms, and I've assigned "Internal extensions" to each. But I haven't figured out how to call an internal extension. This wasn't available with the POTS we had before, so it's not a loss in functionality, but it would be nice to get that working. Any hints?
I have this working. You just dial the extension you set up. All the extensions start with "10" and then can be whatever you like after that. So, I just dial "105" and the person with that extension set up gets called. The restriction is that both you and the person you're contacting have to be on the same VOIP.ms server.
