generally the standard configuration will work for this, just remove the user/fromuser/password/auth lines from the sip context.
the extensions.conf requires something somewhat more specific, however. what country are you dialing to? how many digits are your numbers?
the _91NXXNXXXXXX dial pattern (three lines in the extensions.conf file) and the EXTEN:1 portion may need to be modified, but doing this will require the exact dial pattern you are expected to dial.
Remember that the EXTEN:1 will strip off the first digit (:1) of the dialed number and discard it. For instance: if your "exten" dial pattern in extensions.conf is "_91NXXNXXXXXX" and you dial "915555555555" it will send "15555555555" to the carrier after stripping off the "9" as a result of :1. So you can construct your outbound dial string accordingly.
Or post your expected dial string from the provider, along with a sample number you'll be dialing (all 5's is fine), similar to what I have above, and someone here can show you an example quite easily.
do you have the users manual?
I have a few providers that are like this.
