I like having a PBX for home. And if you decide to operate one for friends and family, it can be great production experience. And add some neat features for them.

Also, your home PBX will work from overseas. Something a lot of cell services will not do, or will not do for free.

Internet access is still the issue over there.
Sure if you have T-mobile (i.e. it works in your home area) you have fewer issues.

Or use a softphone on your computer, or use the console to the PBX

One would assume that any apartment that you get will have internet access.

Yup, I use Linphone on both my cell phone and my laptop, so don't need any hardware. Unless I'm setting up an office, then I'll get a desk phone, but that's rare. Works great.

A lot of people don't like Linphone, but I've had good luck with it.

I prefer ZoIPer over Linphone on iOS devices. I do not use a softphone on laptop/desktop so I have no preference there.

When I installed Zoiper i got alot of random SIP Registration attempts from my IP to my PBX. It stopped when I uninstalled it, so I haven't touched it since.

That's not surprising, your cell phone can change IPs as you move around your city, join random WIFI, etc.

If they are from your IP, what's wrong with that?

All from my IP. It was from the desktop app, trying to register random extension against my PBX.

It didn't seem right having a bunch of registration attempts for extensions that didn't exist on my pbx to come from my ip.

For random extensions?
