I could see from the status page that pbxes had logged into VoipCheap, but the IPKall trunk was grayed out.

Do you know whether IPKall numbers can be used as DIDs for pbxes? Alternatively, do you know of any free SIP DIDs?

ipkall can be forwarded only to a sip account.

What you can do is open an account at freeworld dialup (fwd) and forward the ipkall numer to that account.

under trunks you than register the fwd account and it should work.

pbxes can somehow also be used to call direct username@pbxes.com or something. I have not tried this but you might want to search the forum at pbxes.

As for the USA, I believe that there are no free DID numbers anymore. Some charge between 2-3$ per month for a number. Ipkall seems to be the last one.
