Bro is making his entire home open source
It's crazy how timely this is. My wife came up with some of those red touch-tone phones recently and I was going to figure out how to create an in-home system to use them as a rediculous intercom.
Due to the pandemic my software engineer job had to be cut and I got moved to a telephone system engineer role. Due to it being a chaotic mix between analogue, digital and VoIP I actually hated it for quite a long while. It seemed like an area everyone is moving away from while I have to maintain it. Just this year I started to really see what you can do with such a system and now seeing your enthusiasm for it all actually makes me kind of proud to be able to work in such a specialized field. Thanks!
"ofc we are, we're BRITISH" i died a little 😂
C’mon Chuck - go advanced class with a self-hosted asterisk server! *️⃣☎️

Want to create your own retro phone system? Start here: https://ntck.co/3cxPhoneSystems I’m setting up a retro phone system throughout my house to solve a simple problem: my family never answers my calls. Using 3CX, I’ll connect vintage phones in every room, making communication a little more fun and a lot harder to ignore. Plus, I’m integrating an AI voice assistant that we can interact with through the system. In this video, I’ll walk you through the entire process and explore how practical (and cool) this setup can be. 📃📃📃Link/Guide/Documentation: https://blog.networkchuck.com/posts/i-built-a-phone-system-because-no-one-answers-me/ 🖥 Raspberry Pi options: Raspberry Pi 4: https://geni.us/mzJF55 Raspberry Pi 5: https://geni.us/z0BVIc Here are the phones that I purchased and can verify work pretty well: 📱New phones: Snom D735: https://geni.us/IZmO ($85) – A very solid option. Fanvil X3SG: https://geni.us/oA1i ($69) – Very solid as well. Yealink T54W: https://geni.us/GhUAAy ($150) – More expensive because it’s pretty and is a router phone. Fanvil H2U: https://geni.us/WBGTg ($63) – compact and weird. Hotel-like, if you wanna go for that aesthetic. ☎Old phones (requiring an ATA): Sangyn Vintage Phone: https://geni.us/AxmFI4 ($35) – gorgeous. Probably my favorite. Feels solid. TelPal Corded Wall Phone: https://geni.us/JZazPcI ($32) – INCREDIBLE. Put this sucker on a wall and you are in the 1970s. Feels very solid. My second favorite, comes in a variety of colors. 🔧 You’ll need an ATA (analog telephone adapter) for these old phones. I recommend this one: Grandstream HT801: https://geni.us/TaZ7p 📜 Also, here is the official list of supported phones that work with 3CX: https://www.3cx.com/sip-phones/ 🔥🔥Join the NetworkChuck Academy!: https://ntck.co/NCAcademy **Sponsored by 3CX
As a 3cx advanced engineer, chuck skipped over a few things, like each analog phone needs an FXS port but you can buy ATA’s with more than 1 FXS port, The HT801 is a single port and the HT802 is a 2 port for only $10 more
A cool idea is to ask Terry to call someone for you if you don't remember the dialing codes. It will make as an cool calling agent.
My biggest question is, "How do you prevent your daughters from calling you every 5 minutes instead of leaving their room?" My 10 yo daughter will call me incessantly! She already figured out broadcasting on Google to ask garbled questions or to sing to the house. 😂 That's usually followed by my 7 yo son yelling, "I'm trying to listen to music."
