Goal
Connect AI to a real phone
This guide shows how to integrate Vapi with Vobiz using the dashboard. By the end, you'll be able to make outbound calls where your AI assistant talks to real people on their phones.
Call flow:
Prerequisites
Before starting:
- ✓Vobiz Account with SIP trunk → Create account
- ✓Vapi Account → Sign up
- ✓Vapi Assistant created → Create in dashboard
- ✓Phone number from Vobiz (for caller ID)
Step 1: Create SIP Trunk Credentials in Vapi

- Log in to Vapi Dashboard
- Click on Integrations in the sidebar
- Navigate to SIP Trunk Credentials
- Click Add New Credential
- Name your trunk (e.g., "Vobiz Trunk")
- Add Gateway URL: Enter your Vobiz SIP domain from Vobiz Console (e.g.,
bfab10fb.sip.vobiz.ai) - Add Credentials: Enter username and password from your Vobiz trunk
- Enable outbound calling
- Click Save
Copy your unique credentials from the Authentication & Linking section of your trunk:
Gateway URL (SIP Domain)
<your_unique_domain>.sip.vobiz.aiUsername
<your_username>Password
<your_password>
Success Target
If you clicked 'Save' and Vapi didn't give you an error, your systems are fully communicating! You have securely connected Vapi to Vobiz.
Need your specific Vobiz credentials? Continue to Step 2 & 3 below to learn exactly where to find them in your Vobiz Console.
Step 2 & 3: Get Vobiz SIP Credentials

From Vobiz Console:
- Log in to Vobiz Console
- Go to SIP Trunk → Outbound Trunks → Trunks
- Select your trunk
- Scroll down to the Authentication & Linking section
- Copy the SIP Domain, Username, and Password

Use these credentials in Vapi:
- SIP Domain/Gateway URL:
bfab10fb.sip.vobiz.ai - Username:
Vapi_user - Password:
Password@123
These are the credentials you enter in Step 1 above.
Note: Don't have a Vobiz trunk yet? See SIP Trunks Documentation to create one.
Step 4: Import Your Phone Number

- In Vapi Dashboard, go to Phone Numbers
- Click Add Number
- Select BYO SIP Trunk Number
- Enter your Vobiz number (e.g.,
08071387149- the number you purchased from Vobiz) - Select SIP Trunk Credentials: Choose the credential you created in Step 1
- Give it a label/name (e.g., "Vobiz Main Line")
- Click Import SIP Trunk Number
Success Target
Your phone number is now registered in Vapi! Your AI assistant now has a real Caller ID and is ready to make and receive calls.

Step 5: Make an Outbound Call

- In Vapi Dashboard, click Make a Call or go to Phone Calls → New Call
- Go to Outbound Settings
- Enter the phone number you want to call (e.g.,
+919148223344) - Select your assistant from the dropdown
- Select the phone number to call from (your imported Vobiz number)
- Click Make Outbound Call
- The call will initiate!
Integration Complete!
Your Vapi assistant can now make outbound calls through Vobiz SIP infrastructure.
Step 6: Configure Call Transfer Tool
To enable the AI agent to transfer calls to a human agent or another department, you need to configure the "Transfer Call" tool.

1. Select "Transfer Call" from Tools menu

2. Configure Destination and Transfer Mode
- In the Vapi Dashboard, navigate to the Tools section.
- Click Create Tool and select Transfer Call from the dropdown menu.
- Phone Number: Enter the destination number in E.164 format (e.g.,
+919876543210). - Transfer Mode: Select Blind Transfer.
- Click Create Destination or Save to confirm.
Note: Blind Transfer forwards the call immediately without the AI announcing the caller.
Troubleshooting
Call Doesn't Connect
Problem: SIP authentication fails or call doesn't go through.
Fix:
- Verify SIP domain, username, password are correct in Vobiz Console
- Ensure you're using the exact
sip_domain(e.g.,bfab10fb.sip.vobiz.ai) - Don't use generic
sip.vobiz.ai
Assistant Doesn't Speak
Problem: Call connects but assistant is silent.
Fix:
- Verify assistant has "First Message" configured in Vapi dashboard
- Check assistant has voice provider set up correctly
- View call logs in Vapi Dashboard → Calls for errors
Phone Number Format Error
Problem: Number not recognized or invalid format.
Fix:
- Use E.164 format:
+919148223344(with +) - Or local format:
09148223344(without +) - Verify the number is active in Vobiz Console

Inbound Call Setup
Receive inbound calls on your Vobiz number and have them answered by your Vapi AI assistant.
Inbound call flow:
Caller Dials Vobiz Number → Vobiz SIP → Vapi SIP Trunk → Vapi AI Assistant → ConversationInbound Step 1: Create Inbound SIP Trunk in Vapi

- In Vapi Dashboard, click More → Integrations in the sidebar
- Navigate to SIP Trunk and click Create New SIP Trunk
- Name the trunk (e.g., "Vobiz Inbound Trunk")
- Add Gateway IP:
13.233.44.61 - Check Allow Inbound Calls
- Set Port:
5060, Netmask:32, Protocol:UDP - Uncheck Outbound Calls (for inbound-only)
- Click Save
Inbound trunk configuration:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Gateway IP | 13.233.44.61 |
| Port | 5060 |
| Netmask | 32 |
| Protocol | UDP |
| Inbound Calls | Enabled |
| Outbound Calls | Disabled |
Want both inbound and outbound on the same trunk? Click Add Another Gateway and add a second gateway with your Vobiz SIP domain and credentials for outbound calls.
Inbound Step 2: Get the Vapi Trunk ID
After saving the trunk in Vapi, you need the Trunk ID to configure Vobiz. The Trunk ID is only available via the Vapi API.
Run this cURL command to list your SIP trunk credentials:
curl -X GET "https://api.vapi.ai/credential" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_VAPI_API_KEY>"Get your API key from Vapi Dashboard → Organization Settings.
Find the trunk matching your inbound trunk name in the response:
{
"id": "46deea29-645d-44a3-bf42-7c6ec2d4b65c",
"orgId": "0c147555-d9bc-41ff-8c89-82eca29f891c",
"provider": "byo-sip-trunk",
"gateways": [
{
"ip": "13.233.44.61",
"outboundEnabled": false
}
],
"name": "Vobiz Inbound Trunk"
}Copy the id field — this is your Trunk ID. Look for the entry with gateway IP 13.233.44.61 and outboundEnabled: false.
Inbound Step 3: Create Inbound Trunk in Vobiz Console
- Log in to Vobiz Console
- Go to SIP Trunks → Inbound Trunk
- Click Create New Trunk
- Name the trunk (e.g., "Vapi Inbound")
- Set Transport:
UDP - Set Primary URI to:
<VAPI_TRUNK_ID>.sip.vapi.ai
Example:46deea29-645d-44a3-bf42-7c6ec2d4b65c.sip.vapi.ai - Link your Vobiz phone number to this trunk
- Click Save
Important: The Primary URI format is <trunk_id>.sip.vapi.ai — use the Trunk ID from Step 2.
Inbound Step 4: Import Phone Number in Vapi

- In Vapi Dashboard, go to Phone Numbers in the sidebar
- Click Create Phone Number
- Select BYO SIP Trunk Number
- Enter your Vobiz phone number (e.g.,
+918071387376) - In SIP Trunk Credential, select the inbound trunk you created in Step 1
- Label it (e.g., "Vobiz Inbound Line")
- Click Import SIP Phone Number
Inbound Step 5: Assign Assistant & Test
- On the phone number you just imported, scroll down to Inbound Settings
- Under Select Assistant, choose your Vapi AI assistant
- Click Save
- Test it! Dial your Vobiz number from any phone — your AI assistant will answer
Inbound Setup Complete!
When someone calls your Vobiz number, the call will route through to your Vapi AI assistant which will answer and handle the conversation automatically.
