If $2.10 a month for a state-of-the-art VoIP PBX isn’t too rich for your blood, then today’s your lucky day. What that buys you is a turnkey, cloud-based PBX platform that is fully installed and configured IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES! Did we mention the feature set? The Incredible PBX 2027-U image at CrownCloud has an unequaled feature set: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Asterisk® 20, and FreePBX® 16 with preconfigured extensions and trunks for dozens of VoIP providers plus voicemail with… Read More ›

When Incredible PBX was released, you may recall that we jettisoned reliance on FreePBX® repositories and adopted Clearly IP’s far superior repository setup for FreePBX module management. Most of you have never noticed… until today. As lady luck would have it, Sangoma recently released a buggy version of the User Control Panel (UCP) module which literally blows up when you next attempt to access UCP. One of the hidden beauties of Incredible PBX is that we now have version control… Read More ›

Until we bought a 15-inch Windows laptop with 20 gigs of RAM and a 1 terabyte NVMe SSD for under $500, we never would have considered such a computer an ideal virtual machine platform. And, to our surprise, with Windows 11 and a 4-core Ryzen 3 processor, it not only ran VirtualBox flawlessly, but Microsoft’s Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSLg) also performed admirably.   And then we tried out the UTM virtual machine platform on one of Apple’s new MacBook… Read More ›

In the old days, virtual machine choices were limited to VMware, Proxmox, and VirtualBox with the first two requiring a dedicated hardware platform before you ever got started. So it looked like VirtualBox solved the problem of being able to use existing hardware for other functions as well as being able to host virtual machines. And all was well in the Intel world until Apple created its M1 chip integrating the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a… Read More ›

We lied. Sorry. This cloud-based solution for Incredible PBX 2027 will set you back $12.98 a year which works out to just under $1.10 a month. If you’ve never used a cloud platform, now’s your chance at a truly unbelievable price. You can barely cover the electric bill for on-premise hardware at this price, and that’s before you buy the hardware. We cover a number of cloud-based solutions over the course of a year, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find… Read More ›

Miracles happen every so often, but we never expected our Linux-based Incredible PBX platform to be running natively on the Microsoft Windows 11 desktop. Some have asked why you’d even want to do this when VirtualBox is available for Windows, and Incredible PBX VirtualBox images are available for Debian 10 and Rocky 8. The short answer is we got kernel crashes on our cheapo Windows 11 hardware. The longer answer is the VirtualBox days are numbered as it won’t run… Read More ›

For those that are new to the VoIP community, we feel your pain. What was once an easily attainable and affordable hardware solution with the Raspberry Pi is now a knuckle drill due to supply chain issues. And we appreciate that not everyone is ready to make the leap to the Cloud even though $25 a year is difficult to pass up. So today we’ll share our recent discovery of a hardware platform for your home or office that’s about… Read More ›

Ever since Eben and Liz Upton first introduced the Raspberry Pi to our Charleston community over a decade ago, the primary focus of their development team has been to encourage people of the world to learn about computers on an affordable platform. To this day, the Raspberry Pi 4B can still be purchased (if you can find one) for $35. Unfortunately, supply chain issues have taken their toll. If you prefer not to pay a premium for the Raspberry Pi… Read More ›
