3CX Hosted Phone Installation

This is a step by step setup of a modern phone system. I go through setting up the SIP Trunk, PBX Config, and User Phone. Save a HUGE amount of money with any phone system you are installing by doing this!

Chris, check out Asterisk. Asterisk was the first open-source telephone system, invented by Mark Spenser. It was the 'kernel' of just about all the open-source phone systems to follow.
Spenser founded Digium, which pioneered the GUI administration of the IP telephone system. I have been in computer-telephony since 1990, and you would not believe the PBX environment that existed in those days. Mark Spenser changed telephony. Now Digium is owned by Sangoma. One day you should do an interview and get his historical perspective.
I really enjoy your videos, I 'thumbs-up' and I share them.

As appointed tech support for a non-profit (with zero telephony experience), THANK YOU for this!

This is a great training video, I never realised how simple setting up a SIP phone system was, thanks

Man, IPT is a whole other WORLD. Could take you years to learn all the intelligent contact center mumbo jumbo. And it keeps changing constantly. UC, UCCE, UCCX, UCXN, CDR/CMR, pubs/subs, unity, expressway, cer, ctios, hds, loggers, roggers, pgs, on and on..
I came from old-skool foundation route/switch and I've been over my head for some time catching up with Cisco contact center.

Can't wait to watch this. I've been needing to upgrade my work phone system

[vatolocooperations]

I can definitely go for this and continue using a snap fone used by senior citizens so I wont have to fool with smartphones

[DavidFaris]

Cool Easter egg when you call the number.

*Hi Chris ...what is this new linux by Microsoft everyone's talking about ? And can we trust it ?* 😐

[thewellfedhuman]

Wow, it constantly amazes me when I see these videos about how "easy" it is. There is absolutely NOTHING easy about this hot mess. You used to be able to buy a phone, take it out of the box and plug it into the phone jack in the wall. This is insanity.

Highly unlikely but someone in your office still use rotary phone

Caution: If you make lots of international calls to places like China or India or perhaps other exotic locations, you might want to consider getting SIP Trunks from more reputable providers such as those operated by legacy telecom providers (you'll need to contact their "enterprise" as opposed to "small business" section in order to order SIP Trunks). A lot of the cheaper non legacy telecom SIP providers have this tendency to use "gray market" routes to international destinations which can be of questionable quality (or sometimes calls get routed via black market SIM card/cell phone networks in the destination country before hitting the PSTN!).

I followed the steps but my inbound calls end up with a not connected tone. the outbound calls are working

[johlanpretorius]

Is there a way to set this up so you can transfer the call from the main phone to other phones in the building? Or remote would be even better.

Edit: Spelling

[mrcrackerist]

Will flowroute work in other countries?

[WaynoGur]

I use basic talk. $17 / month. Much easier than this. Works very well with my caption call phone.

...showing off you Win11 (is this video Tux-approved?) LOL

[SB-qmwg]

hmm, STUN, no proxy. I can't say I trust STUN on my network.

[donnanorth]

I think you should have discussed the flowchart first. You lost me right away and I remain lost.

How about a video without all the acronyms sips dids etcI have no idea what you're talking about

[LabiaLicker]

This video didn't age to well with the 3CX malware. People were telling them their software was compromised, on the 3CX forums and were just getting banned. Or they would instruct to actually whitelist the 3CX software and generally shift the blame.
