Hi,

Sorry for bothering you again.

We did read your mail and then also read a lot on ChatGPT and got big time 
CONFUSED.

Just to clarify, we are building a missed OBD/IBD platform with zero media 
involvement and only SIP signalling.  We are only planning to do missed OBD 
where we dial the number and disconnect as soon as call rings. There is no 
media involved in the call. Also, we would like to build a missed call service 
where a party call us, and we send 480 busy here. Here too, no media is 
involved.

The link below have reference to UAC module. If kamalio is only a router, why 
UAC functionality is required.

I agree with you that if need media functionalty then rtp_engine and external 
node is required.

Please bear with us to write you back but we have build a highly scalable call 
transaction per system and looking forward to do it only with Kamalio and no 
asterisk etc.

Regards
Sarju

Please read my last email again. Kamailio is NOT an outbound dialer. Trying to 
originate an outbound call from it is NOT possible. Whoever told you otherwise 
is wrong and has misguided you.

Also, the example code that you mentioned is incorrect as well. Please check 
kamailio documentation of relevant modules at,

https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/devel/

Regards.

Hi M S,
Thank you so much for your quick response.
I should mention that I don’t have deep expertise in Kamailio. I’ve been doing 
a lot of browsing and research (including ChatGPT), and based on that I found a 
few possible approaches to make outbound calls directly from Kamailio using a 
SIP trunk.
Some of the methods I came across are:

  *   uac_send_request

  *   app_lua

  *   jsonrpc_exec
My goal is to originate outbound calls directly from Kamailio (without 
Asterisk) toward a GSM/SIP gateway. I’m not fully sure which approach is the 
most appropriate or recommended in a production setup.
I would really appreciate your guidance on the correct and supported way to 
achieve this.
Thanks again for your time and support.
For your reference I am sharing some sample code of two method

1st method

event_route[xhttp:request] {

    if ($hu =~ "^/obd") {

        $avp(msisdn) = $(hu{param.value,msisdn});

        if ($avp(msisdn) == $null) {
            xhttp_reply("400", "Bad Request", "text/plain",
                "Missing msisdn\n");
            exit;
        }

        # Destination URI for the call
        $var(dst_uri) = "sip:" + $avp(msisdn) + 
"@182.77.59.145:5060<http://182.77.59.145:5060>";

        # From URI (mandatory)
        $var(from_uri) = 
"sip:[email protected]<mailto:sip%[email protected]>";

        xlog("L_INFO", "Calling GSM number: $var(dst_uri)\n");

        # Send INVITE using UAC
        uac_req_send(
            "INVITE",
            $var(dst_uri),
            $var(from_uri),
            "",
            ""
        );

        xhttp_reply("200", "OK", "text/plain",
            "Call initiated\n");
        exit;
    }

    xhttp_reply("404", "Not Found", "text/plain", "Not Found\n");
    exit;
}

2nd method .

event_route[xhttp:request] {
    if ($hu !~ "^/obd/") {
        xhttp_reply("404", "Not Found", "", "");
        exit;
    }

    $var(uri) = $hu;
    $var(callee) = $(var(uri){s.select,3,/});

    if ($var(callee) == "") {
        xhttp_reply("400", "Missing MSISDN", "", "");
        exit;
    }

    xlog("L_INFO", "OBD HTTP caller=9999909109 callee=$var(callee)\n");

    $var(json) = "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"dialog.bridge_dlg\","
                 
"\"params\":[\"sip:[email protected]<mailto:sip%[email protected]>\","
                 
"\"sip:$var(callee)@182.77.59.145<http://182.77.59.145>\"],\"id\":1}";

    jsonrpc_exec($var(json));
    xhttp_reply("200", "OK", "", "OBD triggered\n");
    exit;
}

Regards
Chandra Bhan Kumar

Subject: Re: [sr-dev] OBD Based Missed Call issue

Kamailio is NOT a media endpoint nor a media gateway. It is a SIP proxy that 
routes call between two endpoints, gateways or proxies. What you seems to do is 
trying to originate a call from Kamailio to some provider, which will simply 
not work.

For Outbound Dialer service you need to setup some media gateway like Asterisk, 
Freeswitch or CUCM (Cisco Unified Media Gateway) etc.
