Anyone running their own IP PBX system?
 

Geeks unite -
I just stumbled across asterisk yesterday and got to work on it immediately and now I'm running my own call centre, audiotel tickets, and allowing me to call worldwide for free from my cell phone....

Is anyone else out there running an IP PBX system? If so and you're running asterisk, can you give me any pointers how to get SMS messaging setup with a SIP line... I'm totally stuffed on that but would love to get it working....

press 1 to go fuck yourself. :upsidedow

asterisk is a great. gives a ton of functionality for an open source system. i know a ton of hosted pbx companies that use it.. A lot of people also use it in conjuction with other systems. It is very customizable. If you email me this info. I have some engineers I work with who run a hosted PBX system on Asterisk and they might be able to help. danny at supz dt com.

asterisk is nice, havent messed with it much though.

asterisk rocks. I don't currently run it anymore but I did for a while.

What's your hardware setup?

thanks - I'll shoot you off an email to see if they have any ideas on sms :thumbsup

A number of VoIP SIP lines from telco and dedi box sitting in their DC running asterisk connecting to those sips. Much much more stable than my wifi cisco wip310 voip phone!

not currently running asterisk but have in the past always used http://nerdvittles.com for helpful info

had a look at nerdvittles, but that looks more to do with running a local asterisk server... mine is over a 1000 miles away, so everything is done on the CLI...

wooohoooo - finally got fax working with send/receive with receiving being sent to email configured for the number dialled!! sms is working for outgoing but not incomming (yet)

all for free - this really has to be the best piece of software on the OSS market!

This shit kicks buster balls - loving it!!!

Anyone want european audiotel ticket delivery? I've got this shit sussed :D

No, but I can't wait to use yours ;)

If you're in the UK, call the London number 0203 445 0024
If you're outside UK, call +44 203 445 0024

then when the sexy lady asks you, enter the number you want to call (all numbers must be in international format eg 00 + country code + number)

voila, free international telephone calls even from mobiles :pimp

That line will go down at the end of the month as I was purely using it as a test, but feel free to use and abuse :P

I have a freephone number too (I'm keeping that :winkwink: ), plus a premium rate line (?1.50/min) - tie that into mysql to dish out unique codes and bonjour to personal audiotel for free (well, ?1/month per number)

we ran asterisk for years, recently we switched to freeswitch as it was much less bloated and had easier setup files

thanks Tanguy - didn't know about freeswitch at all.... on sniffing around a bit though, impossible to check called number (eg numerous aliases all pointing to one sip, need the call plan to decipher which number was called (called ID) to send it onto the next hierarchy thingumyjig), nor nothing at all on how to handle data transfer (eg sms/fax). Asterisk, I do agree seems bloated (though server processor/memory footprint is minimal atm), but it does handle auto-detecting of eg faxes and can decipher called numbers etc....

The syntax for the asterisk extensions.conf isn't quite user/programmable friendly but it is logical at least. Yes, I like the XML layout of free switch though....

here is a cool function to show your phone logs from 1 asterisk server to another.
