Creating Outbound Routes
Once you successfully create a trunk for Skyetel, you need to configure your PBX to send calls to it. In this guide we will configure 4 Outbound routes for use with Skyetel's Network. Please have our IP List handy as you follow this guide.
Navigate to Connectivity → Outbound Routes
Click "+ Add Outbound Route"
Add our Route Information
Route Name: Skyetel_Out Route CID: Your Phone Number Override Extension: No (unless you want to override the extensions Caller ID) Route Password: Blank Route Type: Blank Music On Hold?: Default Time Group: ----Permanent Route---- Route Position: First Before Trunk Sequence for Matched Route: Add the trunks you created using our outbound priority Optional Destination on Congestion: Normal Congestion

Skyetel will accept calls with 10 or 11 digits (we will not accept 7 digit dialing). We reccomend sending us 11 digits as some of our fancy features (like Local Presence) have strict digit requirements. These are our recommend Dial Patterns:
If you intend to use Skyetel for E911, you will need to add 933 and 911 to this dial pattern:

With these settings, you will be able to place and receive calls on the Skyetel Network!
