The dialplan is the routing core of an Asterisk server. Its sole role is to look at what is dialed, and route the call to its destination. This is the core of any telephony system and Asterisk is no different. VXI* VoiceXML browser for Asterisk provide to the PBX a new function called vxml() to extend your favorite telephony system with VoiceXML 2.0+ execution. VXI* provide dynamic XML programming services thru HTTP / HTTPS and using PHP, ASP, JSP, PERL, Python, CGI, C#, etc… to create and run advanced web enabled speech applications on your Asterisk.
The dialplan is made up of three elements: extensions, contexts, and priorities. An extension is number or pattern that the dialed number is to be matched against and a context is a collection of extensions (and possibly other included contexts too).

Video from our partner GreenFieldTech:
In September 2005, Skype launched a partnership for VoiceXML with some big voice application development players and VoiceXML hosting companies like Tellme, Voxeo, Angel…opening a new huge market for voice-based services and applications delivered through the Skype platform. Unfortunately, Voice Service Program was nipped it in the bud because it was base on a pay-per-call approach over the biggest free internet P2P telephony community of users! How can users accept to pay to make a call thru Internet to a helpdesk or Customer care or any other phone self-service over Skype…?
Today, thanks to Skype-for-Asterisk addon users will deploy themselves their own voice-based services servers without any hosting dependence thru Asterisk Open Source PBX and VXI* VoiceXML browser, to create their own IVR self-services / Voice Portals, and connect enterprise to Skype without third party services or pay-per-call costs.
Use Skype for Asterisk Beta to start easily to add a call-over-internet IVR or Voice Portals with skype for your business and company using VXI* VoiceXML browser for Asterisk!

Digium launches Skype for Asterisk Open Beta
Past October, I6NET was at Astricon 2008 Gendale when Skype and Digium start their first partnership to make interoperable their products. Nine months after, Digium announced this week the availability of the Skype for Asterisk open beta. Skype for Asterisk Beta is a download that lets you integrate your Asterisk system with the Skype network.
With Skype for Asterisk, you can:
• Make Skype to Skype calls
• Call landlines, cellphones, even grandma!
• Receive SkypeIn calls
• Make multiple Skype calls simultaneously using the same Skype account
• Read Skype profile fields
• Support DTMF
• Set and retrieve online status
• Handle incoming Skype calls using your dialplan
• Use the Asterisk PBX for voice and the Desktop for IM
• And much more!
And you can do this all from your Asterisk PBX!
Ordinary Skype isn’t an open telephony system. You need your desktop and some sort of sound equipment just to make a call. Skype for Asterisk Beta has the muscle to use your phone system directly with the Skype network.
