phonestar
Connect a phonestar (formerly toolani) SIP trunk to Callina.
phonestar is a German SIP provider focused on SMB and freelancer accounts.
Step 1 — Provision the trunk
- Sign in to phonestar's customer portal.
- Under SIP-Konto, create a new SIP user.
- Copy username, password and SIP registrar (e.g.
sip.phonestar.de).
Step 2 — Configure Callina
In Callina → Settings → SIP:
- Provider: phonestar.
- SIP server: from step 1.
- Username + password.
- Codec: G.711 PCMA preferred. Opus negotiation also works.
Step 3 — Forward your DID
In phonestar, set the DID's Anrufweiterleitung to the new SIP user. Test by dialing the DID.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Registration drops every 60s | Increase keep-alive interval to 30s in Callina trunk settings |
| Calls succeed but no media | phonestar uses NAT-traversal — enable Symmetric RTP in trunk settings |
| Answer delay >5s | Check that the DID isn't pointing through a Voice Mailbox first |
