Sure, but the point is if he takes the same credentials from the ATA and puts them into an endpoint in pjsip.conf in Asterisk then it will almost definitely work.

Yes and no.

A trunk is assumed to go to a PBX versus an endpoint so the provider may enable, disable, or change some features.

The assumption on a trunk is that it will use more minutes than an ATA.

Yeah but there's no functional difference. The SIP registration from an ATA is just a SIP "trunk" that can only accept one or two calls.  There should be no reason you can't register that SIP user from Asterisk.

The provider charges more for a “trunk”.
And Lewis, I already have this service set up through them for another system We have some unique LNP porting issues and really want the voip provider to have a direct connection to us.

It’s been a while since I have done an asterisk config but you still configure a SIP account much the same as you would for the ATA and it becomes a trunk as I recall and then you do whatever you need to with it as a single line trunk. Way back when I was learning it and playing I had multiple providers for single lines and even an IAX line too. Then I could use them as part of the dial plan and other features as to where it would ring and dial out.

Thank you,

If I get a voip service from some random provider and I have a sip device on my end, I am golden.  Say an ATA connected to a pots phone.

Now, if I want that number to appear inside an asterisk PBX but I don’t want to buy a trunk, is there an easy way to do that?
