PBX or private branch exchange is a virtual telephone system that can connect to both to landline and cellular networks. It provides instant messaging, video and audio through TCP/IP protocol.
Many business are using PBX for VoIP, mainly for international calls and also as an intercom within the company. In this tutorial, we will be using Asterisk as the backend system, and show you how to set up a free GUI for Asterisk: FreePBX.
Today, we will learn how to install and use FreePBX on CentOS

Note: if you don’t currently have a server to run your PBX on, your most cost-effective solution is to get a VPSCheap plan of at least 512 MB of RAM.
