Is it possible to use G729 on asterisk without the license? It is to connect devices which use the codec to termination providers in a phone card application. Will decoding the DTMF tones from the caller require G729 processing? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
Hi, If you are terminating the call from/to a T1/E1 card or modifying the call in anyway e.g. playing IVR prompts not just "voice in -> voice out", you will require the codec.

Since you will need to be using out-of-band DTMF (RFC2833 for SIP, or the only method on IAX2), then there is no issue with decoding the G.729 audio stream. Note that you will not be able to monitor/record calls without G.729 licenses, nor will you be able to play any audio files that are not already in G.729 format.
