Carrier

VICIdial's term for a SIP trunk — the upstream provider that carries your calls.

A carrier in VICIdial-speak is a SIP trunk — the upstream provider that handles outbound + inbound call signalling and media. Defined in Admin → Carriers, then referenced by campaigns.

Each carrier definition includes:

  • SIP registration string
  • Account credentials
  • Dial-plan pattern (which leads to route via this carrier)
  • IP allowlist for inbound

You can have multiple carriers active simultaneously — VICIdial routes per-campaign or per-prefix.
