Please read my last email again. Kamailio is NOT an outbound dialer. Trying to originate an outbound call from it is NOT possible. Whoever told you otherwise is wrong and has misguided you.
Also, the example code that you mentioned is incorrect as well. Please check kamailio documentation of relevant modules at, https://kamailio.org/docs/modules/devel/ Regards.
