A client of mine is getting out of a situation like that with Cox.

Cox charged like $80/m originally per phone for 4 phones - they installed the cable, the switch, the UPS, then 5 years ago lowed the price to $50/m/each.

Now they are moving to FreePBX, paying their own hosting fees, and bought the phones outright. Monthly bill fell by approx 75%

This is what I think we would need, but I'm neither inclined to figure that out, nor do I want any additional equipment (VM or otherwise [MS recommends physical for this?!]) to do this. . .

The timeline.

2019/02/27 09:23 - I posted on the FreePBX community. 2019/02/27 15:13 - Another user commented they also had this issue. 2019/02/27 16:31 - I submitted a support ticket. 2019/02/27 17:03 - Sangoma replied stating this was not any kind of known issue and I needed to install their SSH key package to let them check the server. 2019/02/28 08:52 I replied that I had added the SSH package and updated the firewall to let them connect. 2019/02/28 09:49 Sangoma replied that the files were missing on the remote server and showed the log error. 2019/02/28 10:05 Sangoma replied that an internal trouble ticket was created. 2019/02/28 15:58 Sangoma replied that the issue was resolved. 2019/02/28 19:26 I confirmed that the firmware was downloadable

This is not any kind of response time that I can complain about. I do wish there had been known information on how to find the EPM download errors. I would have likely been resolved much quicker.

That's why I posted here. Search engines can get this out there.

@NerdyDad said in Yealink DECT dongle for T41S and T42S:

Does the cordless and the deskphone both share the same extension? If so, this would be great for my wandering receptionist.

These are independent units so no. But you can put the same ext on them if the PBX supports it.

So with FreePBX and PJSIP based extensions you can have multiple devices registered all to the same ext.

How many people went out and watched Red Dwarf this week?

That's just weird.

How so? Each DID is independent of the B channel, so I can have a multitude of DIDs and only a few B channels if so desired.

Except it's a weird pairing. If you wanted flexibility to sell one at a time. Not "almost every channel."

But it is a did not a number assigned to a channel.

With T56 series here the 48s dropped down to $170 range, everything else has gotten even cheaper.

The t56a is the cost that Yealink 48s was a month ago, and it is android. About $199.

I got Ubiquiti phones in to test and have updated them a couple times. At last pass they still couldn't park or use BLF reliably.

I can't imagine leaving Yealink.

@coliver said in Digital Phone Lists - Internal WebSite:

What kind of phone system do you have? Why not use something like FOP2? That way the phone list is always up to date. If you're using FreePBX you can write a script to output a phone list nightly.

FOP2 is a great choice for a viewable panel. but it is not a list for quick reference.

I keep 3 tabs open with FOP2 most of the day. 2 clients and our phone system.

@JaredBusch So just half of the US is reporting outages.

Wow someone at Level 3 is gonna get murdered over this.

I spot an RGE!

I think that we need a post highlighting the new phones, too!
