   IMPORTANT: Some providers restrict outbound calls and will only accept them from numbers that are authorized (check with your provider). If this is the case then you must create a SIP Trunk Profile. You can use either the main DID or a block of DIDs provided to you by your provider. To create a SIP Trunk Profile, follow steps a-d, below. If you don’t need to do this, skip to step 3.

      This will enable you to enter numbers that are authorized to call out. The number or numbers you enter can be a single DID (main number) or block of numbers or typically a DID block assigned to you by your provider.
      To enter a single number you may enter it under Use this as Calling Number if the Carrier cannot accept configured numbers.
      
      To enter a block or range of numbers click the Add button and add the range of numbers.
