PBX Servers?

[genxweb]

Just wondering what PBX Servers are folks using to run their Voipo Services on and what kinds of lessons have your learned from this experience?

Have you saved money running your own PBX be it software or hardware based PBX?

I am running it on the following with no issues (ALL ASTERISK BASED)

PBX in a Flash
Elastix
Incredible PBX
Trixbox

So far no issues with configuration. My only wish is that Voipo would offer the ability to increase the channels above 2 even if there is a slight fee increase. This would allow us to offer small business the ability to purchase less DIDs (trunks basically) to have multiple inbound outbound calls at the same time.

For example I have a client that was thinking about switching to my service but I would have to buy 10 DIDS to get 10 SIP credentials to configure 10 trunks. All this to make sure he is able to send and receive up to 10 simultaneous calls.

There actually are no channel limits or trunks for resellers. You can receive as many simultaneous calls on a single account/registration as your equipment/PBX can handle.

I'm a bit confused. I read in the TOS that PBX software wasn't allowed. I'm guessing now that running Asterisk is only banned on the residential end, but okay for the resellers. Is that correct?

If so, I'd love to hear specifics as to how people are implementing Asterisk boxes in the reseller program. I suppose an Incredible PBX box + Voipo would be an ideal solution for a small company running 10+ lines.

Thanks!

Hi Tim, I just want to make sure everyone is clear on this.

By default, all accounts come configured with 2 channels, correct? So a 3rd call (in or out) will result in a busy signal, not voicemail or failover.

If we want more than 2 channels, we just have to email reseller@voipo.com and request it.

Something for the wish list would to display the current channel limit for each account in its details page. That way we'll know that it has been set correctly for that customer's needs.

FYI: Most of my customers are using BYOD equipment that utilize 3 to 20 channels. I've got a bunch that I need to have updated. Going forward, I'll submit channel requests right after I create new accounts.

So far I would have to say I like the service with switchbox. lol
It's so easy just put the disk in.
