Magic Jack and Vonage both have restrictions on what you can attach to their systems, so between the native cost of these services and the hassles using them are going to present, I’d disrecommend both of them. Even with my inbound (with a number) connection, my phone service costs less than $5 a month. I use a couple of different services for outbound and pay less than a couple of cents a minute. I’d get a “per minute” service that doesn’t charge a lot for your incoming numbers. There have been a ton of improvement in both stability and performance since that system, so I’m pretty sure you’ll be fine. I’ve got an older FreePBX system that hasn’t rebooted in over 800 days. If you aren’t saving voice recordings, you can get by with a lot less, as long as you do your housekeeping (getting rid of old log files, etc.)

I am researching to see if FreePBX would be a good solution for my home network and wanted to ask for assistance in understanding how to set up outbound connection (trunks) to call out. I have a few Cisco 7975G Color IP Display Phones I am trying to make use of. I have a dedicated HP server that runs vmware and can run any operating system including Linux/PBX. I am relatively new to FreePBX and am trying to decide if this is a good VoIP solution for my home network.
