Deal with it! Still very useful, even in 2024. For those wondering which service provider I use, I recently switched to VoipVoip by Zadarma. Very cheap, also has some cool features.

As a journalist, I can see a lot of value here. Just last week, I had a phone die mid-interview as I take so many. I can also see value in video conferencing as I take so many of them. Are you just off-screen when you dial in or is it a combo?

It’s a combo, so I leave my webcam running on the PC & all audio goes through the phone

I don’t know of very many IP phones that are accessible with voice guidance and the like. Is the PBX server something I could plug a regular phone into? By regular, I mean a standard corded phone, or even a cordless one? My current set up consists of an Ooma adapter, and a cordless base station with a few cordless phone extensions around the house. I would definitely like better control of which phones ring at what time.

Yes, it’s possible to connect a traditional analog telephone (corded or cordless) to a system like this. It requires having a FXS card on the PBX, or a POTS (VoIP to FXS) converter. Though, if you’re looking to achieve better control of choosing which phones ring and when, you would have to ditch the Ooma system entirely and replace it with cordless IP phones. Otherwise, you’d need a separate FXS converter for EVERY individual analog telephone in your environment. Not sure what you mean by voice guidance, can you elaborate?

Newer Cisco 8000 series phones have a voice guidance feature. Android based yealink phones have it too. Some poly phones might have it like the edge and ccx series?????????

@@surrealnumber8166 thanks for the info! I didn’t know cordless IP phones were a thing to begin with, so that could very well be what I go to if I ever end up making a system like this. In short, I am fully blind, so simply delving into menus simply to make a change like changing the ringer or the volume could be a little bit complicated. Made more complicated if I’m looking to do any kind of syncing with the server. I am comfortable looking up IP addresses and delving into Web interfaces though, but not sure how much can be done from a web interface, or how visual the page might be.

@@captainchris2016 i’ve heard of the Cisco phones, but the other one is new to me. Thanks so much for letting me know! If it is android based I’m not too surprised it might have a voice guidance feature since android does seem to have at least a basic screen reader built-in by default.

@@JesusReyes-fh6wy I believe the newer Cisco phones are Linux based. The screen reader does not have the best voice but they are there
