Asterisk: Connecting an Asterisk System To SIP Provider

Question

Setup:
Centos 6
OS: Linux CentOS 64-Bit
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7 - 4 cores

Asterisk 11
libpri 1.4
dahdi 2.9.1

I want to send calls to my SIP provider via asterisk. I want to use a softphone to make outgoing calls, when I make outgoing calls on the softphone it needs to route through my asterisk server and then out to the SIP Provider. Currently when I make an outbound call it produces a "Failed to authenticate" and status is 'CONGESTION' notices.

My question is simple: Since my softphone is calling from "User1" (as shown below) What do I need to write in my sip.conf and extensions.conf files in order for the SIP provider to make the outgoing call for me?

My Thoughts:
I feel like I am missing a part of the process, like how User1 is set up to handle outgoing calls...

See an overview of how I set these two files up currently:

notes:
- all username and passwords have been removed for this post.
- sip.us is the sip provider

sip.conf:

[general]
transport=udp
register => username:[email protected]

[myprovider]

type=peer
insecure=port,invite
host=gw1.sip.us
port=5060
dtmfmode=rfc2833
canrevinvite=no
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
qualify=yes
qualifyfreq=30
nat=force_rport,comedia
trustrpid=yes
fromdomain=gw1.sip.us
username=*****
secret=*****
context=from-trunk
rfc2833compensate=yes
session-timers=refuse


[friends_internal](!)
type=friend
host=dynamic
context=users
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw

[user1](friends_internal)
secret=****
[user2](friends_internal)
secret=****

now the extensions.conf:

...
...    
exten=>_1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@gw1.sip.us)

[users]
exten=>6001,1,Dial(SIP/user1,20)
exten=>6002,1,Dial(SIP/user2,20)

now the asterisk cli output when i try making an outgoing call using softphone:

  == Using SIP RTP CoS mark 5
  -- Executing [12015550155@users:1] Dial("SIP/user1-0000001e",
  "SIP/[email protected]") in new stack

  == Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/1/0)
  -- Auto fallthrough, channel 'SIP/user1-0000001e' status is 'CONGESTION'

asterisk cli> sip show registery

asterisk cli> sip show peers

myprovider/username 65.254.44.194 Yes     Yes           5060 OK (42 ms)

Note the '<sip:[email protected]>;', do you have that IP on your configuration? (Note that it isn't a valid IP address) — pah
I changed that purposely for this post. It is registered successfully. thank you. — M. Finch

Try changing the @gw1.sip.us to @myprovider and see if there's any changes. This will force asterisk to use the configured trunk [myprovider] instead of directly forward the call to gw.sip.us directly.

Hope this helps.
