Configuring Commio SIP Trunk (Inbound)


Commio Inbound Service Configuration

Step-by-step guide: Buy a DID · Create Inbound Profile · Assign Number

Overview

This guide walks through three steps required to receive inbound calls on a Commio DID:

  • Part 1 — Purchase a phone number with NPA (area code) 919
  • Part 2 — Create an Inbound Routing Profile with a PSTN destination
  • Part 3 — Assign the purchased number to the routing profile

Portal URL: https://commio.io

Prerequisites

  • Active Commio account with sufficient credit balance for DID purchase
  • Admin-level access to the portal
  • Destination PSTN number ready (the number calls will be forwarded to)

Part 1 — Purchase a Phone Number (NPA 919)

Part 2 — Create an Inbound Routing Profile

Step 4: Navigate to Routing Preferences

From the portal, go to: Inbound → Routing Profiles → Inbound Profiles

Direct URL: https://commio.io/#/routing_preferences

The page lists all existing inbound routing profiles with columns: Existing Profile, ID, Settings, and Actions.

Step 5: Add a New Routing Profile

Click the Add Routing Profile button in the upper-right corner. A modal dialog will appear.

Fill in the following fields:

FieldValueNotes
NameAndy_Docs_InboundChoose a descriptive name for this profile
Attempt 1 — TypePSTNSelect PSTN from the Type dropdown
Attempt 1 — PSTN1919737247211-digit E.164 format: 1 + 10-digit number

Note: The PSTN address field expects 11 digits in E.164 format. The placeholder example shown is ‘19195551212’. Always include the leading 1 for US numbers.

The Type dropdown supports five routing types:

TypeDescriptionAddress Format

Step 6: Add Additional Attempts (Optional)

Click the Add button below the attempt rows to add failover destinations. Each attempt is tried in sequence if the previous one fails. Use the up/down arrows to reorder attempts.

Step 7: Save the Profile

Click Save to create the routing profile. The new profile will appear in the Routing Preferences list with an auto-assigned ID.

Note: Make note of the profile name — you will need it in Part 3 when assigning numbers.

Part 3 — Assign the Number to the Inbound Profile

Step 8: Navigate to Number Management

From the portal, go to: Inbound → Configure Numbers

Direct URL: https://commio.io/#/number-management

The page lists all DIDs on the account. The summary in the upper-right shows total DID count (e.g., ‘83 DIDs | 13 Toll Free | 96 Total’).
