You get a mic with a physical mute button

:D :D :D

I’m a millennial as well and although I absolutely love my iPhone as a tech guy. Whenever I have to use my computer at the same time as being on the phone with a family member it can be a pain as I don’t have proper headphones with a good mic and hold the phone with my shoulder is awkward. I used to use a rotary dial telephone with a grand stream HT801 which worked well but I cancelled the service when I rarely used it. Now I’m in my own place I would love to have this phone on my desk as I used one in my old job and it was a pleasure to use even with a headset :)

The moment you mentioned FreePBX something lit up in me. I have an intense urge to set up a telephone system. Also, I wonder how hard it is to be your own VoIP provider. Like, with the internet, I have a vague clue about BGP and that you need to register an AS and then you can peer with other ASs, but how the hell does the telephone network work?

I can’t stand Alison gimmie Loraine Nelson any day!

I don't have a landline anymore, but I have been rediscovering the joy of single function devices. Particularly my minidisc walkman and my ereader. I've been resisting the urge to buy a proper camera for a while now lol (also a millennial here)

u ain't alone, i have a landline phone standing in my living room

I use it too

Millennial here no landline but I do send faxes

those openstage phones are soo sexy! they kind of remind me of the design language of nortel

Millinal here... Man how did the depression and anxiety of the world not get to you? You seem all set!

Good luck with your landline. Lookup FCC Order 19-72. They already took our landlines away in SE Kentucky. It's only VOIP here.

I have a Merlin Legend r7 system with a 408-mlx and a 408-atl card and 012 basic telephone with built in ring generator connected to POTS and a freePBX system running on a raspberry pi2. I run my own telephone exchange.

genz here i also use a land line. Richard stallman is the reason i don't own a cell phone.

you act like this is something that nobody uses

2007 Gen-Z here, my parents still have a landline, though it is going through the fiber box in the utility room, so technically VOIP. I honestly think it is kind of stupid like some other comment mentioned earlier that you cannot keep access to the copper telephone lines, despite having the wiring there (our house was built in the 70's and the cable for the phone line is still on the side of the house. I've yet to probe it to see if there's any power on it, i'm curious.) I'm actually doing a school research project (like long term, fairly serious) with a phone, of making a device that can hook up via a phone cable to any POTS phone, and serve as a central office, in the hopes of being able to call people on discord with it. Of course, this doesn't really serve much of a purpose, and is motivated by me thinking it's funny plus being interested in POTS stuff. Anyways, in terms of our actual phones, they are wireless ones, with a single dock in the master bedroom. My parents still have an old 2001 Northwestern bell phone, that I have been using for my project, but I am keeping in working order since it could come in handy during an emergency, as the fiber box is on a UPS. (this comment is a mess but I'm too tired to make it make more sense so whatever)

I may have to look into that PBX stuff, I've always wanted people to ring me and be given a menu. I'd be taken out of any spam call lists because they think I'm a professional business with 100 employees

If only Amstrad still made the e-Mailer

you are using VOIP you don't have a landline you have a voip number and voip phone also half of Europe/UK still have landlines its only the new builds that don't and you need it for internet if you don't have fiber optic so theres loads of Millennials with them

Aren't landlines just VoIP now?

What model phone is that?

I'm an 18-year-old Gen Z'er... and I have no shame in saying that I still use a landline in my dorm room (and even pay for it -- but only around $2/mo.) Main reason is I'm just a nerd and I like messing around with that type of thing. Other reason is it's nice to have not only a number I can give out that isn't my cell phone number, but also have another physical set in the rare 1/1000ths chance that something happens to my phone and I need a backup. The setup I have is with an old Polycom OBi200 that connects with Google Voice. However, I like to have Name Caller ID and E-911 (which GV does not provide), so I just buy a cheap forwarding phone number from Callcentric, connect that to GV as a forwarding number, and link it to my OBiHAi as a 2nd line, with my GV line being the default outgoing. Only $2.50/month. Worth it IMO.

You could also just use two smart phones though.

I still use one, however with the advent of fibre broadband my telco/isp upgraded it with a voip box (it's actually built into my router/access point), same number. Calls on it are now basically free, my wife can yak to her mum all day and nothing appears on the bill. I'm not running a business, so no fancy phone, just a few plain old phones. Yes I have a mobile, however the handset or my old POTS handset more fits my face than a flat sheet of glass that most mobile phones now are.

yes, these are likely from the asterisk-extra package "[extension] has been brutally murdered by the Teletubbies" is a highlight

They are there because asterisk uses them and freepbx is basically asterisk

I still have landline :)

Recently got rid of my landline due to the incessant amount of junk calls, especially during election season. Nomorobo and other services do a very good job until the cable company once again fiddled around with the 3rd party ring through. It just was not worth the hassle. It befuddles me why people however think that a landline is "old fashioned". It's not, quite the contrary as you one in your video. Telemarketers however have hijacked the public phone network with their ability to dial millions of numbers at one time.

Landline =/= VoIP, no?

great video cant wait to get my own place so i can do this, at this rate, im gonna be running a small rack with a PC for PBX, a tru-nas or hex-os build, maybe a plex. i agree with the ring sentiments so im partial to Lorex systems, dumb simple, great product! if i want a door latch of some sort, ill need a home assistant machine, somthing to drive my house wide sound system ive always dreamt of (which would be a entier set up of zones all driven by a audio server as well as a CD/BT and vinyl turn table) , and if i get to assemble all the antennas i want on the roof for recording and logging transmissions for personal enjoyment and work, ill need a dedicated SDR machine of some type as well! ill never understand how they think they could shove people like us into apartments.

98er here! i know this series of phones from the workplace i learned. they would all hoock into a deticated Siemens/Unify PBX. There are also variotns of that phone. With a larger extension board or with an Ethernet jack for full IP support.

Good to see the dankpods sexy speaker haha! Keep it up man, just set up fusionpbx after failing with freepbx many times, constant crashes ect. Got some old voip phones on the way, looking forward to dialing my family from the other room!

Looking forward to seeing the repair!

VoIP isn't a landline. I think we are probably the same age, but I have a real copper POTS line.

Mess around with the different sound languages. The British voice is something else!

That's not a landline phone though. It's a voip desk phone.

i want to have my own IP pbx system because of this channel.

Can you do a video of the ringtones on the first phone?

I still have a landline too!

I still have a landline.. Working as a 911 Dispatcher a landline still sends us the FULL name and address of the caller. Cellular is at times a challenge to locate. Cell towers go out as well. I also have a Panasonic 6x16 hybrid phone system in my condo.

The only person I know who uses a landline is my aunt.who works as a diplomat for the dod. So I see why ww3 is always at risk every damn day. For some odd reason.

Hotkeys: exists

I used to support a Cisco phone network. I appreciate the skills it gave me, but I hated it at the time.

I have a backup landline And im "genZ" Its great if my smartphone breakes And i cant unsubscribe so why not

LOL 🤣 nice! Hello, this is your wake-up call. She definitely needs a wake-up call

The guys in the flat next to me at uni had this, they all had a desk phone on there desks in there bedrooms and they could intercom or push calls that came into the flat to the respective rooms, they were all music students so did there own hold music, it was kinda funny tbh

In my country it's actually pretty common to still have landline even tho nobody really uses it lol

That mini PC is pricy,m talk about affordable.

Can you please show us a walk-though, what equipment and the process?
