What Is An Alias And How Do I Create One?
An alias is a telephone number that can bound to a specific SER user account or any SIP URI for that matter, even if the SIP URI is not served by your SIP proxy. A common use of an alias is toll free numbers. Many times a toll free number simply “points” to a real DID (ie a real telephone number). When you dial the toll free number, the DID actually receives the call. An important thing to understand about aliases is that you cannot register against the SIP proxy using the alias. Instead, you must register with a regular user account. Then when somebody dials the alias the SIP URI that is bound to the alias will ring. To use aliases you simply need to include this code snippet in your ser.
