On January 5th, 2010, AusTex VoIP began offering a complete Asterisk and FreePBX based IP PBX on site installation at an extremely affordable price. This system is targeted toward the home user, home office, and small office environment. This package provides the user with features and choices only found in on premise installs costing many times the $599.00 price being offered here. This package is perfect for those starting a new business, whether from a home, retail, or office location. Existing businesses and home owners can now affordably replace their phone service with a full featured system that will pay for itself in short period of time.

Included in the package price is the Acer, IP PBX server completely configured and ready to plug into any internet ready network. Two analog telephone adapters are also included, which are used to allow any already owned analog phones to be plugged in and set up as extensions in the system. The basic installation includes free initial consultation, installation of the server, along with installation of the phone adapters. We also include the following, all for this one low price:

• Set up and programming of the two initial extensions (phones)
• Any IVR's you may care to record
• Set up of ring groups and queues
• Acquisition and set up of VoIP service providers
• Trunk set up
• Inbound route set up
• Outbound route set up
• Training on use of the FreePBX GUI interface for moves, adds, and deletions

This is truly a turn-key phone service installation, minus any phones you would like to use on the system. By letting you use phones you may already own, the cost of a full system is kept to a minimum. Of course, we can provide additional equipment, including IP phones, or steer you in the right direction for purchasing any brand of telephone equipment you may desire.

Make no mistake, this is a full featured and powerful phone system. It has the capabilities to provide all the features found in very high dollar corporate PBX systems and then some. For a full list of features, check out this page. We also list many popular uses here. Although you can see all the features of an Asterisk/FreePBX system using those links, we will highlight some of the more popular ones below.

This system can be installed in less than a day in most cases, and if your network's up to the task, just a few hours is all that is needed. AusTex VoIP is very flexible on working with the customer and can schedule times based around your busy day. We have no problem providing evening and weekend services.
