Comments and Reviews
Well, it's a Linux distro, ok. HOWEVER, what they don't tell you in the installer / download page, (only on the wiki!) That installing this will erase EVERYTHING on wherever you're installing this on, that meaning, it will delete ALL PARTITIONS on any of your drive(s), so please don't make the same mistake as me and install this distro on a Raspberry Pi. I'm giving this 2 stars for not telling me on installation that this was going to erase my (2!) SSDs
The beauty of FreePBX lies in its cost-effectiveness and flexibility. The initial setup involves minimal costs, primarily the server computer for deployment & setup along with the direct costs of the phone number & usage. Beyond that, FreePBX offers extensive features without the hefty price tags or fees:
Dial Plans: Customize how calls are routed through your system to ensure efficiency and caller satisfaction. Automated Attendants: Set up interactive menus that help direct your callers to the appropriate extension. Visual Voicemail: Enhanced with Speech-to-Text, allows users to see a list of their voicemail messages and choose which one to listen to or delete. Extensions and Users: Assign specific extensions and manage users easily through the online web portal interface. Voice Recognition and Call Queues: Advanced features that improve customer interaction and reduce wait times. Call Parking and Announcements: Enhance call handling efficiency and share important messages with callers as needed.
