BYO SIP TRUNKING

SIP Call Issue – Inbound Going to Voicemail, Outbound Call Tool Not Found

Hey everyone — I’m setting up SIP integration for my voice agent using Vapi and running into two key issues:
❌ What’s Happening:

  1. Inbound calls to my SIP number are going to voicemail — they’re not reaching my voice agent
  2. Outbound calls are failing with this error:
    "Outbound Call Failed. Couldn't Get Tool, toolid [some_tool_id] Does Not Exist."
✅ What I’ve Done:

Integrated a SIP trunk from a local Caribbean provider

Used standard settings (UDP, PCMU/PCMA codecs, RFC2833 DTMF)

Created a voice agent and assigned the SIP connection

Double-checked auth, domain, and credentials (all correct)

🧠 Questions:

What might cause inbound calls to skip Vapi entirely?

What does the “Tool ID does not exist” error mean? Is it related to a missing config or voice agent?
Appreciate any help or direction!
