PLEASE APPLY NEXT CONFIGURATION ONLY IF YOU HAVE MORE THAT ONE TRUNK TO THE SAME PROVIDER

Multiple trunks to the same provider are not a preferred option, we strongly advise having only one trunk to the provider, but in some circumstances when it is required please apply the next changes manually to SIP Trunk Inbound and Outbound rules:
