@Romo I'm considering setting this up for my home sometime soon. I really don't know enough about it.
I thought about setting one up even though I don't have a home phone anymore - haven't in ten years or so. But the thought was to pull my brother and father's lines in, and maybe add one for myself. Just to learn.
But they both have package ISP deals which makes it impractical to do so.
I have a package ISP deal as well, but still the FreePBX would be useful from a learning experience. But unless you do it often I'm not sure what use it really would be. Installing and setting it up once for home use, then (hopefully) never touching it again except for updates because well, it's just suppose to be stable, and we are home users, so we aren't going to be stressing it, or needing/wanting many/most corporate functions.. etc etc.etc
So here I sit not having one.
lol -
Only good thing - I happen to already have 3 phones I could put on it.

I'm swearing at my phone!!!!
The GD Google Nexus 6P has like 5 options for text message notifications - none of them are very loud.
Hack your way into a custom notification?
I really don't want to root my phone.

I don't have a phone either, but a landline isn't that big of a deal. I have no idea how I would go about a 911 service etc though. My knowledge is limited. I'd be really picky about the actual phone though. I'd need two of them.

FreePBX I'm pretty sure allows you to setup 911 services based on the extension in use.

Phew. Just a strep infection.

How would I go about setting up the actual service though? I also don't know what would be required hardware wise: cabling etc? It confuses me a bit because i never have really done much with phones outside of pots and I managed call manager for a bit. Not that is needs to be, but I wonder if this is cost saving too in the end

Yeah. Just some medicine. She's pretty happy.

Which part are you asking about? Maybe start a new thread for that.

to setup a FreePBX, you need a place to install it - DigitalOcean I think is the VPS provider who allows you to use your own ISO, if I'm wrong there, someone will correct me. create an account there, upload the ISO, use the ISO to spin up a VM, buy a SIP trunk from a provider who hopefully has numbers with area codes in your area, connect that SIP to your FreePBX install, get a phone (or use a softphone like Zoiper ) connect that via settings to your FreePBX system - done.
Of course this is super glossed over.
The only special hardware you (might) need is a VOIP phone. But as I said you can use software that acts like a VOIP phone on your computer or cellphone. -

FreePBX on cloud cannot be done via ISO right now.

The FreePBX site has install instructions for building your own. Don't try anything except the CentOS 6 version. The others don't work.

@scottalanmiller Good to know
