+1, just wanted to write the same.

A simple IVR where the user would identify themselves, then it updates some internal database, and the rest of the dialplan looks up the user in this database when the calls are routed to them. Also for outgoing calls, effective caller ID could be set according to the current user status.

I guess some hardware phones are able to display messages on their LCD screens, and then you can also tell the user their name and login status.

Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Roaming Extensions?

You could quite easily build something into freeswitch yourself. For example have usernames rather than extensions for the phones and have users dial a number and enter a pin to 'log in' to the phone, updating a database to which phone they're logged in to, then modify your dialplans to look up the extension in the database and call the correct phone.

There are many different ways of implmenting this, either directly in the dialplan using the db application or external code through mod_lua/mod_python etc.

This approach should in theory support all makes and models of phone.

no, you will need to implement a provisioning service by yourself. You
can deploy the configuration to the yealink phones using an http/https
server - may tftp will work on many kinds of phones, too.
