Asterisk PJSIP Tips and Tricks

Simtex SIP Trunks from $4.99/month

Geo-redundant SIP trunking with Australian-based support. Pay-as-you-go or unlimited plans.

pjsip set logger on is the PJSIP equivalent of sip set debug on from chan_sip. It dumps full SIP message traces to the CLI — invaluable for diagnosing registration failures, one-way audio, or codec negotiation issues. Remember to turn it off when done.
If a customer reports their phone "isn't working", check the Subscriptions page first — you can instantly see if the endpoint is registered without touching the PBX. The SIP Events Timeline will show you exactly when it dropped.
Simtex validates outbound caller IDs against your account. Only DIDs allocated to your trunk will be transmitted — any other number is replaced with your main trunk number.
