I believe the newer models support iLBC, but I couldn't get it working.

We are using Polycom phones and I don't think they support speex or ILBC (at least not all the models).

FYI I just confirmed using the X-Lite Client that FreeSWITCH supports both the narrowband and wideband speex codecs. From what I understand it's lower bandwidth than G.729: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/speex-dev/2006-May/004453.html

I couldn't get iLBC to work with FreeSWITCH/Polycom/xLite so I gave up on it.

Does your ITSP support speex or iLBC? If so, consider the following:

in /etc/sipxpbx/freeswitch/conf/sip_profiles/sipX_profile.xml:

<param name="codec-prefs" value="G722,p...@20i,p...@20i,speex,L16"/>

speex is supported by FreeSWITCH and it's a very robust low bandwidth codec albeit at some CPU cost. It's also already preconfigured in sipX's implementation on FreeSWITCH. Adding iLBC should be as simple as changing that line and possibly a few others in other FreeSWITCH config files by adding i...@30i* *to that list.

Perhaps you could do G.729 for phone-to-phone calls and then let FreeSWITCH do speex? Am I missing a reason why this would not be possible?

I really ONLY care about AA/Voicemail/Conferencing (since everything else seems to work). I am assuming the only time I will need it is in freeswitch, caller using G.729, hits AA/vmail or conference. I get 4 licenses, I am assuming 5th concurrent caller (using G.729) will probably not hear anything. in the case of conferencing, oh well. in the case of AA or vmail, maybe he will call back.
maybe 10 licenses ($100) isn't all that much to spend if it works.

I thought I did turn off everything in voip.ms except G729 and the caller can't reach AA or Vmail if the user doesn't answer.
(you on 4.2.0 yet?)

I may be misunderstanding your configuration, but it seems like if you don't care about AA/Voicemail/Conferencing then the freeswitch license isn't going to help (or hurt) you at all.

If your remote callers would be better off with a different codec you could try to limit the codecs their endpoint s/w or h/w will allow (ie: don't advertise g711 at all, just uLaw and g729). If your remote users are on POTS then your issue is between you and your ITSP and you could limit your ITSP configuration to the codecs you like (for instance with voip.ms I can pick which codecs it will accept, I turned off g711 and gsm so now it always negotiates uLaw which is pretty good; I wish they had g722 as an option too though).
