🛠️ Asterisk Configuration for Kiwi VoIP

Configuring Kiwi VoIP with Asterisk: A Step-by-Step Guide

Setting up your Asterisk server with Kiwi VoIP? Here’s how to configure your SIP trunk and dial plan for reliable, high-quality calling.

📦 Required Information
Before you start, make sure you have:

  • Your Kiwi VoIP number (e.g. 099749000)

  • Your Kiwi VoIP password

  • SIP server: sip.kiwivoip.co.nz
    📝 Note: Use the STD format (e.g. 099749000) not E.164 (e.g. 6499749000) for your username.

🔧 Sample Configuration

📄 sip.conf

 
[general]
registerattempts=0
registertimeout=20

; Register line (place inside general section)
register => yournumber:yourpassword@sip.kiwivoip.co.nz/yournumber

[Kiwi VoIP]
type=friend
username=yournumber
fromuser=yournumber
secret=yourpassword
host=sip.kiwivoip.co.nz
context=default ; or your chosen context
dtmfmode=rfc2833
disallow=all
allow=ilbc
allow=gsm
allow=alaw
allow=ulaw
;allow=g729 ; only if licensed
nat=yes
canreinvite=no
insecure=very ; or use 'insecure=invite,port' in newer Asterisk versions

📄 extensions.conf

 
[default]
; Incoming calls to a connected phone
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/yournumber)

; Outbound calls from your PBX
exten => _X.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@Kiwi VoIP)

💡 Tips

  • Replace all instances of yournumber and yourpassword with your actual Kiwi VoIP credentials.

  • For best results, test internal calls first, then outbound.

  • Use sip set debug on in Asterisk CLI to troubleshoot.
