This guide provides a comprehensive overview of configuring the Vodia phone system with Telnyx phone service using Registration. It begins with setting up a Telnyx account, including purchasing a phone number and creating a connection with secure credentials. Once the connection is established, the guide walks you through provisioning your number and assigning it to the created connection. The outbound profile setup enables outbound calling via Telnyx, and Vodia PBX integration is simplified with automatic dial plans. Additionally, we cover routing incoming calls to specific extensions or external URLs, along with managing multiple DIDs through Vodia DID management.

Configuring Vodia PBX User-Pass Authentication
In the Vodia PBX, navigate to your domain; on the left-hand side choose TRUNKS ---> VoIP Providers
Click on add and choose Telnyx trunk, then enter the user and password you've created in your Telnyx account
Click on create
The Telnyx template is built into the Vodia PBX, so there's no need to enter the SIP outbound proxy and trunk headers configuration. Vodia automatically creates a dial plan for the domain, so there's no need to create a dial plan unless you want to edit it.
Routing incoming calls
Navigate to your registered Telynx trunk and scroll down to set the incoming call under "Routing/Redirection"
Vodia supports the following inbound methods:
Send all calls to the destination request URL
Send all calls to a specific account
Send to a 10 Digit DID
Match extension after a prefix
Use a list of expressions
For this exercise, we are going choose, "send all calls to a specific account." When you call into the system, all calls will go the specified extension.
If you have multiple Telnyx phone numbers you would like to route into the Vodia PBX, you can follow these steps:
DID Management
Navigate to DID management in admin mode
The DID management will help you configure multiple DIDs by assigning them to specific extensions the system.
Navigate to your Telnyx trunk from your Vodia PBX system: scroll down to "Routing/Redirection" and choose "send all to the destination request URL"
Vodia now supports provisioning for Cisco 3PCC phones, giving businesses and service providers a clearer way to connect compatible Cisco multiplatform IP phones to the Vodia PBX. Admins can add supported Cisco devices through Vodia Device Management, pair them with extensions, and configure provisioning settings through the phone’s web interface. This expands Vodia’s supported device ecosystem while helping customers continue using trusted Cisco IP phones within their existing business phone system.
Vodia Hub for Windows brings click to call and desktop call control to Windows, making it easier for users to place, answer, manage, and automate calls from the applications they already use every day. With system wide tel: link handling, inbound call screen pops, queue details, and automation support, Vodia Hub helps connect the Vodia PBX with Outlook, CRMs, browsers, documents, and other Windows tools. Users can keep working without manually copying phone numbers, opening the user portal, or switching between applications just to handle a call.
Desk phones and mobile apps both have a place in modern business communications. IP desk phones remain a strong choice for receptionists, support teams, customer service agents, and employees who handle a high volume of calls from a fixed location. Mobile apps, on the other hand, give remote, hybrid, and field-based users access to their business extension wherever they work. For many organizations, the best answer is not choosing one over the other, but using both through the same PBX environment so every user has the right calling tool for their role.
