Free Cloud Phone System? | Setup FreePBX on AWS
In this video I walk you through step by step how to setup and configure FreePBX on AWS using an EC2 instance. (Virtual Server) AWS has something called the “Free Tier” for 12 months so in theory you truly could have a free phone system. You would still need to pay for PSTN calling of course, but the phone system would be free!

Hey, thanks for the tutorial! I can't seem to connect to the instance using PuTTY. It states "Server refused our key". I checked it with another AMI and there it works, so I assume it's not the key. Any idea would could be going on here?
Hi really need some urgent help, need to know how to set up softphones from this specifically what ip
Absolutely incredible video, really detailed simple and way better than any other tutorial I have found on youtube. You should be really proud of yourself.
Extremely helpful for a real world project over here! Thanks again for the personal help.
Did you change the root password, I get permission denied when I try to paste the one in the video description.
so you have static IPs to your house that you are able to setup VPNs?
I seem to be running into issues getting audio to play on my incoming calls from DID. Maybe this is an RTP issue?
I'm not able to register Phone in FreePBX hosted in AWS. Port 5060 is not allowed. Could you please guide me?
I have tried this, I'm not able to register 3CX Phone in FreePBX running on AWS. My security group allows all ports from all IPs. Am I missing something?
How do I add a security rule for HTTP if I am using a VPN such as Private Internet Access?
good video
Great information, extremely well presented – as always!
Will try this out.
Thank you, I just installed on a mini desktop. Will give AWS a try.
I also love tinkering around with phones and phone systems. I will try this one out!
