      How many hours a week is recommended? I know someone who may be interested.

      No official number set yet. Probably like ten, but flexible hours, so like weekends are fine.

      Home PBX

      I was definitely considering setting up a home PBX but I don't know if I want to subscribe to any actual phone numbers

      You can learn a lot without doing that. Although voip.ms makes it SO cheap.

      And you can make calls without buying a phone number at all. Just pay per use.

      What option is that? I don't recall seeing that (granted this was some time ago)

      VoIP.ms has never required purchasing a number to have an account and setup a trunk.

      You simply have no way to receive calls from the PSTN.

      Ah.

      What would you consider to be an User? Office user? Power user?

      i guess I would like to know more about the progression shown.

      Users would be "anyone". Basic computer literacy. Ability to surf the web, send and receive emails, write office documents, play video games, install software (at home), etc.

      Office Users would be a step up. They would know the same basic literacy, but also apply that to an office environment adding printers, domain logins, business applications, more "technical" style applications, etc.

      Power Users would be a step up from that. Maybe knowing how to build computers. How to configure computers and simple network stuff. Using technical or power apps. Edging on being IT, but because it suits their end user needs rather than for the sake of being into IT itself.

      An Intern should start where these leave off, because they are honestly looking into work in IT and you should research and study before being an intern. You shouldn't not know that you want to be an intern until you are used to that stuff.

      According to this, over 90% of the people here, are just users. Most barely know anything about using MS Office or something that isn't related to their exact role. If they get stuck in their task sequence they have to start all the way over. Not because the systems prevent them from backtracking, but because they can't think of how to do it without going from step 1 - 10.

      By "here", you mean your place of work?

      Yes. LOL Sorry. Not on ML.

      Lots of people at businesses are not what we'd normally consider computer users. Like obviously they are USING a computer, but not AS a computer. Like I have some users that only scan barcodes. It goes into a computer, but they are really just barcode reader operators. 🙂

      I use zoiper on my android for a soft phone. I tried linphone but it wasn't very reliable.

      What is the best way to set up zoiper for an extension and receive Config?

      If you are asking for our phone system, we don't push configs to remote Zoiper. You have to set it manually.

      I actually just figured it out and got the account set up!

      Awesome, I'd call you to test it out but I'm way too tired at this point.

      I am going to try calling a friend, see if it comes up with the NTG number.. is that what should happen?

      It should, yes. You need to dial the full eleven digits with our phone system, so put a 1 in front.

      I hate that with a passion. I force all systems to be 10 digit dialing. I handle the country code for a 10 digit outbound.

      I'm so sorry 😉

      Welcome to the community mate

      Hey - what did I ever do to you? 😛

      Note: I held my tongue on this one.

      Good, cause I wasn't talkin' to you anyhow 😉

      And that usually stops me when? I was being nice because I know you are jet lagged.

      Thank you for the advice! I look forward to learning more from you

      As you learn - don't forget that sometimes you have to question. There have been countless times that I have 'taught' something only to learn of a different and sometimes better way of doing the same task.
