[Freeswitch-users] Looking to hire a consultant

[Shaun Stokes]

Have you considered using FusionPBX?

It’s essentially a front end for FreeSWITCH, will be much easier to install and configure since most of the configuration is already prepared. FusionPBX have user guides on features such as call parking, the project is open source, flexible and easy to work with and everything is configurable.

Can’t afford them. I emailed them at least once before. Perhaps I misunderstood, but I came away thinking anything less than $1000 wasn’t worth their time or at least worth the overhead they charge for “planning”.  This is more like a $400 to $500 job max, I can’t spend $300 “planning.”

They wanted hours (2 min I think) of conf calls and planning at a pretty high rate just to talk about what I wanted to do. There would be more money spent “planning the project” than just doing the work.  I am all for specifications and project planning for something that will take more than 4 or 5 hours or is in some way vague, but that is not required on simple jobs. They are just priced out of my reach, I wish they were not but I don’t have hundreds of users to pass this on to.  I would rather send the FS team the money than anyone else, but not at that premium.

The project is pretty simple:

  *   Install a new FS Stable build on a new Debian 8.7 server
  *   Move/Convert my current XML config over (about 30 extensions)
  *   Help config Cisco SPA phones for SCA.

That should not cost $250+ to plan.

Hi,

We want to hire someone for a few hours to get a configuration working with FS and Cisco SPA504G phones.

We have all the basics working great for FS on SPA phones.  We need a single DID number to ring on 3 line buttons on 2 different phones.  If a call is placed on hold on phone 1, it must be picked up on phone 2. The customer claims the staff is too stupid to use call parking.

I think this really needs to be someone who knows both FS and Cisco SPA phones. There are just too many possible parameter combos for us to work it out.

Contact me directly if you can handle the task and have availability soon.

Thanks,
Sean
