    Retell agents.Vobiz numbers.

    Retell connects to existing telephony over SIP trunking. Point it at Vobiz and your agents run outbound campaigns and answer inbound calls on numbers you own in India and 130+ countries. Both directions are dashboard work.

    Before you start

    You can connect a Retell agent to a Vobiz number using Retell's SIP trunking option, which Retell supports for bringing any existing telephony system to its agents. Outbound and inbound are configured as two separate trunks, one set up in the Retell dashboard and one in the Vobiz Console, both without code.

    Why this pairing

    Bring the number, keep the platform

    Retell is built as a contact centre you operate yourself: flows on a canvas, batch campaigns, live takeover, QA across every call. What it deliberately does not do is own your telephony. It expects you to bring a carrier, and it supports SIP trunking so you can.

    Vobiz is that carrier. The same agents and the same campaigns, on number inventory and routing across 130 countries.

    What you get

    Two forms and a linked number

    No webhooks, no answer URL, no IP list to maintain. Inbound is trunk-based routing and nothing more.

    01

    Indian numbers on a global platform

    140-series, 1600-series, mobile and toll-free Indian numbers, issued under India's telecom rules, used in Retell instead of buying a number from Retell.

    02

    Outbound is one form

    Retell's SIP trunking option takes your number, your Vobiz SIP domain as the termination URI, and your trunk username and password. Five fields and a Save.

    03

    Inbound is one origination URI

    Point a Vobiz inbound trunk at Retell's SIP address, link your number, and pick the answering agent. There is no gateway IP list to keep in sync.

    04

    Different agents each way

    Retell sets the inbound call agent and the outbound call agent separately on the same number, so one line can answer as a receptionist and dial out as a collections agent.

    05

    Batch campaigns on your own trunk

    Upload a recipient CSV, set your Vobiz number as the from number, send now or schedule. Retell's dialler runs the campaign; Vobiz carries every call in it.

    06

    Telemetry from both layers

    Retell keeps transcripts, call logs and post-call analysis for what was said. Vobiz writes a call detail record with 43 fields, including MOS, jitter and packet loss, for how it was carried.

    How it works

    Two trunks, one number

    Outbound authenticates from Retell into Vobiz. Inbound points from Vobiz at Retell. Same number on both, but two separate trunks.

    OutboundIn Retell

    1. 01In the Retell dashboard, add a phone number and choose the option to connect your own number over SIP trunking.
    2. 02Enter your Vobiz number, your SIP domain as the termination URI, and the trunk username and password from the Vobiz Console.
    3. 03Save. Outbound now routes over your Vobiz trunk.
    4. 04Create a batch call, upload your recipient list, and send or schedule it.

    InboundMostly in Vobiz

    1. 01In the Vobiz Console, create an inbound trunk. Recording and transcription are optional on the same screen.
    2. 02Add Retell's SIP host as an origination URI over UDP, and set it as the trunk's primary URI.
    3. 03Link the same Vobiz number to this trunk. Inbound routing goes live when the linked count updates.
    4. 04Back in Retell, set the inbound call agent on that number, then dial it from any phone to test.

    Three things that trip people up. The SIP host goes in as a bare hostname, with no sip: prefix and no trailing slash; the console warns that it wants a host and port, and saving anyway is correct because Vobiz defaults to port 5060. A number linked only to the outbound trunk will not receive calls — it has to be linked to the inbound trunk too. And the outbound agent does not cover inbound, so if calls connect but nobody answers, check the inbound call agent is set.

    Every field, every screenshot, the troubleshooting list and a video walkthrough are in the Vobiz docs.

    Questions

    Straight answers

    Is there a native Vobiz integration inside Retell?

    Not today. Vobiz is not one of Retell's built-in telephony providers. You connect the two through Retell's SIP trunking option, which Retell supports for bringing any existing phone system to its agents, and it carries both inbound and outbound calls.

    Can Retell agents use Indian phone numbers?

    Yes, over a Vobiz SIP trunk. Vobiz issues Indian 140-series, 1600-series, mobile and toll-free numbers, and you configure them in Retell as SIP trunk numbers rather than buying a number inside Retell.

    Do I need to write code?

    No. Both directions are configured in dashboards. A separate API guide covers triggering outbound calls programmatically, for teams building campaigns into their own application, but the setup itself does not require it.

    Why are there two separate trunks?

    Because the two directions point opposite ways. Outbound is Retell authenticating into a Vobiz trunk with a username and password. Inbound is a Vobiz trunk sending calls out to Retell's SIP address. Your number links to both.

    Can one number use different agents for inbound and outbound?

    Yes. Retell exposes the inbound call agent and the outbound call agent as separate settings on the same number, so a single line can answer with one agent and dial out with another.

    Does inbound need a webhook or answer URL?

    No. Inbound is pure trunk-based routing. No Vobiz application and no answer webhook are involved, which means there is no server of yours in the call path to keep running.

    Start with outbound, add inbound after

    Create a Vobiz account, add a trunk and a number, and point your existing Retell agent at it. Inbound is a second trunk once you have heard the first call work.
