In order to terminate international calls from your account, you will need to enable a radio button in the Back Office from the Endpoint Group Management tab. Simply click, Endpoints and select Endpoint Group Management from the drop down options. The resulting page will list ALL Endpoint Groups on your account. Drill down into the desired group by clicking the name of the group you wish to alter. You will see International Settings and from here, you will toggle International ON/OFF. After you toggle on, you will be required to set a Spend Limit. This the daily total spend that you allow this group to terminate international calls. There is also a Rate Allowance that customers can set on their endpoint group. This is a price per minute that you wish to allow for customers to call. This is not a requirement, but allows you to set this, to prevent high priced calls. Please note, setting no limit still has potential to be rejected by our vendor for pricing. *Note that there are several 'Update' buttons on this page. It is only necessary to click this one button to turn on (or off) international calling ability* Please also note that there is typically a 10-15-minute propagation period from when you click the update button before the change will take effect.
One thing to remember when terminating calls to VI is that we look for the lowest Endpoint Group number for the call. This means that if you have the same IP address in more than one group, we look for the lowest group number and that is the group the call comes from. For example, if you had group 10013 and group 10016 you would need to set the radio button for group 10013 to use international. There is an Advanced ServerConfiguration option for two groups with the same IP so be sure and check out that article if it applies to you.
Another option we have for multiple endpoint groups, that share the same IP, would be our Tech Prefix feature. This allows you to all a prepend in front of calls so our system will terminate calls from that group. Please see our Wiki Article for more information.
To place an outbound international call, you will need to prepend "011" to your calls when sending them to VoIP Innovations. The full syntax should look like this: 011 + country code + international telephone number (for example, 011441462490068).
One thing you will want to remember is that Country Code (1) destinations do not require the 011 prepend to complete, but you will still need to enable international termination on your endpoint group(s) in order to call these countries. Below is a sampling of country code 1 destinations that are still considered international calls:
