What is My Phone Number?
I know that sounds like a stupid question but I have heard it a lot over the years… Particularly with cell phones that make it easy to just shoot your information to someone via email or Bluetooth. There are many ways to find this seemingly obvious but easily forgotten bit of information but my personal favorite is dialing 1-800-444-4444. This is some type of MCI auto attendant that reads back your calling number. This works with individual lines such as a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) or cell phone. If your phone is controlled by a corporate phone system your … Continue reading
Personalized ringback on your FreePBX
Want to play music for your callers while they wait for you to answer? It’s easy and can all be done through the free PBX GUI. Go to the “Music on Hold” option in the admin menu on the left.

The caller can call in and reach the extension and the call will be routed directly to … Continue reading
Mitel 5000 / Asterisk Integration
Mitel 5000 to Free PBX (Asterisk) Trunk The first dependency is to have licensing for the number of SIP trunks you would like to create on the Mitel 5000 system. We will be creating a SIP Trunk Group that will require these trunk licences. Each trunk needs a license at the cost of something like $125 a piece for small quantities. The Mitel 5000: First, go into System–>Devices and Features–>SIP Peers–>SIP Trunk Groups Create a SIP trunk Group with just a single extension number. It will probably be something like 9200X. Mine was 92003 but yours could end up being … Continue reading
