Conclusions:
I could not believe that a commercial branded model PBX(with addons and features) cost hundred of thousand pesos or could reach to half a million pesos.But, because of an opensource soft PBX ,engineers and common users may have now a wise options to learn and use the less cost IP Telephony technology.

ReplyDeleteAlso, would it be possible phone number assigned by PLDT be able to call those VoIP softphones and vice versa?
P.S. I cannot wait to read your documentary
