Just for fun, a few associations I’m part of want to set up our own IP-phone network, with our own phone numbers and such.

  • Is this possible?
  • How would one go about doing this?
  • Does it have to be it’s own separate network or can it work via the internet without special setup beyond a public IP?

    You will want a couple things. First get yourself some VoIP phones. Yealink is a decent brand. Grand stream Wave is a good option for Android and iOS softphones.

    Secondly download a PBX. I recommend Fusion PBX others will recommend 3cx but the main thing is to avoid Asterisk.

    Finally get yourself a SIP trunk from a phone provider.

    Now cry in pain as you are constantly bombarded with SIP attacks in your home.

      What’s the problem with Asterisk? FreePBX uses it and as far as I can tell, it’s the only way to get Lenny working.

      Is it possible to just run your own SIP-trunk? We’re not intending on sending or receiving calls from external numbers outside of our little network.

        If you don’t need external calling you don’t need a trunk, it’s just for connecting to the outside world. I found [[https://www.asterisk.org/|Asterisk]] was a good place to start. The config is rather involved though, so there are various front ends for it.
