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.
This article will provide you with a step-by-step guide for configuring your Vodia phone system with Telnyx phone service using Registration.
The first thing we need to do is get you set up on the portal.

Provision your Number: (Assign to a connection)

Your number is now all set on the Telenyx user portal
Create an Outbound Profile
Visit the OUTBOUND section via the navigation menu on the left-hand side

Select the connection you created via the "Select Connection" drop-down
Choose the "Traffic Type and "Service Plan" that meets your needs
Click "ADD"
You are now setup for outbound calling.
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"
Delaying PBX upgrades may feel safe in the short term, but real-world dependencies like security standards, app compatibility, and vendor APIs eventually force reactive upgrades at the worst possible time. Staying reasonably current with Vodia PBX versions, rather than clinging to outdated releases or jumping on every new preview, helps maintain security, compatibility, and performance while avoiding emergency upgrades, especially as newer features and OS requirements become unavoidable.
The New York City Department of Education has issued a Request for Expression of Interest signaling its intent to modernize district-wide communications by moving away from legacy landline PBX systems. Serving 1.1 million students across 1,800 schools, the proposed transition to a cloud-based VoIP platform focuses on resiliency, scalability, multilingual capabilities, hybrid deployment options, and integration with Microsoft Teams for more than 150,000 staff members.
