[cisco-voip] Ideas for cheaper international calling

I opened a TAC case 613141081 and they confirmed you need a CUBE for the
username/password.

 

So in short Skype for SIP is not certified for Cisco CallManager, but is
certified for Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE).  Devil is in the
details, but I feel no reasonable small business looking at Skype
understands the benefits of CUBE feature licensing and will want to run
direct to CallManager and will look at Paetec, Broadsoft, Verizon,
Packet or any of the many Skype to Gateway solutions out there.... my
personal opinion -jason

In CallManager 7.1 where do I input SIP realm settings for the Trunk to
Skype?

You can use SIP realm settings to create username and passwords for
this.

I expect a low cost provider like Skype isn't going to have any support!


 

I signed up for Skype for Business and started to set up Skype for SIP
tonight direct to a CallManager 7.1.3 box (no CUBE), I'm not clear where
in CCMAdmin I can enter my Skype username/password, or if a CUBE is
required for authentication.  Anyone else setup Skype for SIP and have
some tips?

 

Since CallManager is certified I expected Skype's website to have some
advice, but the best you get is contact the PBX manufacturer...

	Other than using MSN and Yahoo or skype point to point for free,
there are no completely free options out there.  At least, none that are
legal.

	Hello all,

	I know this isn't strictly Cisco Technical but was hoping you
all could help me out.

	We have a US-based Call Center that will start making hundreds
of international calls each day and we don't want to pay the phone
company (surprise), we don't have VoIP in the countries we need to call
so TEHO won't work.  There are a ton of online services and Skype for
SIP, anyone have any experience with beating the system with creative
solutions that avoid the toll?

	Thank you in advance and a good weekend to all!

	Mike
