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
FreePBX I'm pretty sure allows you to setup 911 services based on the extension in use.
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
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
-
@Mike-Ralston did a FreePBX on CentOS 6 install on Friday with @FiyaFly if there are any questions.

Running WSPR on 20m at 10watts. I am being heard in the South Pacific on the island of Penrhyn... Nice!
ETA: 9224 km or 5732 miles

I'm yelling at fools in my head... if you let someone go, let IT know, and collect the laptops and any other assets that were handed to them.
Don't go and hire more Fs without ensuring we have equipment ahs!

As I also stated in the new thread, these claims are false.
They are your experience. If you wish to make these claims ensure that your state as much and do not broadly claim something demonstrably false.
