I have no particular great love for Google but you can't beat their price, at least on domestic (USA/Canada) calls. You could have the best provider in the world but if the caller's equipment sucks, it's gonna sound bad. I've received low quality calls on Google Voice, sure, but almost invariably if I asked about it they were coming from a poor quality wireless phone or worse yet, someone using a crappy bluetooth headset/earpiece. If that's your standard, you shouldn't have a good word to say about any cell phone company!

So because in your previous employment of who knows how long ago you occasionally received "garbage calls" from Google, you are on here dissing them, as if they are the only company that's ever carried low-quality calls. Most of their numbers are sourced via or peerless, but it’s the LCR they do that causes issues occasionally, especially when forwarding to another service that they do not have direct peering with. I do enterprise network, but I have in the past worked for voip companies as well as a CLEC and I have seen the garbage calls from google. Google isn’t taking business away from commercial voip businesses. I personally think if you do try his build after coming from a pure FreePBX/Asterisk environment you're going to hate some of the choices he's made, but maybe not.ĭo you perchance own, work for, or have some financial interest in Google, because now it sounds like you’re spreading FUD. I would say that if you do decide to install using one of Mundy's scripts, at least go through it first and comment out the things that you know you don't need or want, so you don't get quite so much junk software. However that's not exactly an officially endorsed method either. The best I have seen is this post on the FreePBX forum: I get the desire to use GVSIP and I honestly wish ANYBODY else had a working distro that would do it. As someone else said on another VoIP forum, before running one of his install scripts, read it! You will see that he's installing a LOT of software, and also doing weird additions to the FreePBX configuration.

#HOW TO INSTALL FREEPBX AND GOOGLE VOICE SOFTWARE#
And it appears there is a lot of just plain old outdated software installed that is rather useless today, but it looks like he is very reluctant to remove anything no matter how outdated or inefficient it might be.
#HOW TO INSTALL FREEPBX AND GOOGLE VOICE CODE#
The problem with any of Ward Mundy's distributions is that he (or whoever actually writes the software, I'm not convinced he could code anything) fills them with a lot of unnecessary and useless stuff that at best takes up takes up space and makes your configurations harder to decipher, and at worst may be installing software or doing things you wouldn't want.
