Ok... so I can safely use a provider who uses G729 or G723 to provide me with VoIP termination without either A) having a connectivity issue, or B) having to pay "trans-coding" license costs?
If so... what do I need to do to get asterisk to use G723? Just set it up? Am I going to have an issue if my terminator uses G723 as far as getting to/from phones using G726 or G711u? Or if someone calls in to check voicemail... will they not be able to hear anything because of this problem? What do I need to do to hook up to a G729 provider, and (the same question)... will a G711 phone work correctly (connected to asterisk).
