3.6 Dial Out Rules:
One of the tricky concepts while configuring MegaPBX is learning how to create good outbound
routing rules. A primary usage of outbound routing rules that has been common for many years
is least-cost routing. With traditional PBX systems, we might have used least-cost routing to pick
one provider for local calls, another for in-state calls, and yet another for out-of-state calls. In
some cases, this is still a valid usage of outbound routing rules. With a modern PBX such as
Asterisk, there are many reasons to set up different outbound rules:
• Send 999/911/611 calls to an analog line to ensure that emergency calls go out through
the analog lines.
• Use a different provider for international calls for cost savings. We can use VoIP for our
international calls and go through an ITSP for substantial cost savings.
• Send toll-free calls through a specific provider.
• Use different rules if users dial 9 first, for example to use 9 for an outside line.
