Just for fun, a few associations I’m part of want to set up our own IP-phone network, with our own phone numbers and such.
- Is this possible?
- How would one go about doing this?
- Does it have to be it’s own separate network or can it work via the internet without special setup beyond a public IP?
You will want a couple things. First get yourself some VoIP phones. Yealink is a decent brand. Grand stream Wave is a good option for Android and iOS softphones.
Secondly download a PBX. I recommend Fusion PBX others will recommend 3cx but the main thing is to avoid Asterisk.
Finally get yourself a SIP trunk from a phone provider.
Now cry in pain as you are constantly bombarded with SIP attacks in your home.
Interesting - why avoid asterisk?
I looked into fusion to play with but I’ve been using asterisk casually since like the 00s with no issues.
