The reason why I would like to use Freenet iPhone is their cheap rate for calls to Germany (1 cent/min). It is correct that you have to sign up for one of their DSL plans. But the "pay as you go" plan has neither monthly fee and nor a minimum usage requirement.
The lack of incoming phone number / DID's is not a problem because I just want to do some least cost routing for calls to Germany.


But back to my configuration issues. I figured out what the problems were ...

First of all there were usual NAT/SIP issues - that I fixed (thanks for pointing me to the fwd web forum!).
The other issue was a little trickier: Freenet uses a hostname iphone.freenet.de. So if I called the number '123456' - * would put [EMAIL PROTECTED] into the SIP messages. But Freenet expects something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] I could not find any way to configure that with *. So what I did was put an entry into my /etc/hosts configuration with host "freenet.de" and the actual IP address of iphone.freenet.de and change the * sip host entry to freenet.de instead of iphone.freenet.de. Now it works fine. But I wonder if there is any way to configure that in *?

Oliver,

you should be able to connect * with the same settings required for softphones.

Firewall problems depends on your individual situation, a search in this list or browsing fwd's web forum may find a solution.

But why would you do that? freenet iPhone is a rather prorietary service without any gateways except PSTN (which is limited to freenet DSL users). They don't even offer DIDs.

Has anybody tried to use Freenet's Germany based iPhone Service with
Asterisk? Maybe even from behind a NAT? Freenet seems to use SER ... but I
can not get a connection to their SIP proxy from Asterisk going through a
NATed firewall.


Asterisk <-SIP-> Firewall with NAT <-SIP-> Freenet iPhone server

Thanks,
