Ring group mark answered else doesn't work
My Cisco 8961 phones showed exactly the same behavior with my freePBX 14 server.
I tested all SIP firmware versions and realized that the last firmware, which correctly displayed „calls completed elsewhere“, was from Nov 2011!!!
Maybe you upgraded the firmware of your Ciscos last summer?

Trixbox 2.8 migration to FreePBX
Hi!
I’ve some old Trixbox 2.8.0.1 installation.
Is there possible to migrate this, old, server to latest FreePBX version without loose configuration, extensions, IVR, etc…?
Thanks in advance

Can you give me the page number in the document that says that?
If it’s true we’ll use our 24/7 first responders security dept to route 911 calls to.

Billing Module
Thanks Jared, that’s great to hear.
I note you cant say anything, but my hopes are it also allows for an included value that if not exceeded wont issue a bill.
eg: we manage a lot of reirement villages, most of them need updating, we want to put in freepbx, but they require an allowance of 10-$20 a month free calls, they only bill their residents when thats exceeded, one has a rolloever policy, most don’t.
a couple have direct debit on chargables, most don’t preferring to email an invoice.
don’t know if any this is considered but if you could pass it on that’d be great, we only have 2 to upgrade within 6 months, we know we have to use alernative pbx since this wont be avaialbe, but i hope its out by 2021 when we will have to do more.

Billing Module
we dont deal with small hosted solitions our clients are retirement villages, mine camps, etc, where theire are up to several thousand at just one site lone, we have serious problem in the mine camp with it, nested IVR’s, nested call flow controls didnt work, and there was a few other things that escape me at the moment, we persevered for a month before dumping it for freepbx, the camp charges its permenant stays 30 a month for all you can eat, which is unfair to many who might make 2 external calls a month

I would highly suggest you to hire a developer to do that for you.
I don’t know prices, but that shouldn’t take too long to build, and it’ll fit exactly your needs.

FreePBX is a MLTS/PBX platform. Not a calling card system. Not a ITSP platform. There are platforms for those sorts of things. You basically are saying I can’t believe Phillips head screwdrives have done so well without being able to work with flathead screws.
Now where you may want to bill in a PBX/MLTS such as at a lawfirm or hotel these things exist. Sangoma even has a HMS module that bills for hotel/motel systems.

Trixbox 2.8 migration to FreePBX
The conversion tool @PitzKey linked above is designed to work with 2.9+ so try it, but expect it to fail. If the trix pbx has the backup and restore module, I think your best chance of success is to restore a backup on a new 15 install.

Well it is another Asterisk server that has to handle the call so that means there are 4 legs to this single call vs the standard 2 legs that would be there. So there is that. There is also the issue that A2Billing died about 5 years ago. Which the changes introduced in Asterisk 12 with the CDR changes, PJSIP, etc. they just gave up and turned it over to the community. Since then the only changes/updates made to the project was updating PHP support last year which appear to have been made by you, so that supports my point more.
To recap the Asterisk based billing software hasn’t updated to match any of the changes in Asterisk since early 2015. The code still uses things like DeadAgi() which has been deprecated since Asterisk 12/13 and is pretty much eligible for removal from Asterisk in any new releases at this point. It supports only IAX and Chan_SIP both of which is community only support in Asterisk and well Chan_SIP is also marked now as deprecated and can be removed within the next 4 years.
So that would mean that there is no actual support for Asterisk 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 in the code of A2Billing. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t then it’s on you and the community to figure out why it’s not working and fix it.
I’m sure at some point people are going to realize that these old “go-to” third party projects that stopped making updates around Asterisk 12 (so in the last 5-6 years) are dead and while they still may work in current versions of Asterisk it means they aren’t up to date and lack knowledge of the new things added, changed or removed from Asterisk. They will continue to depend on things like DeadAGI, Macro(), Chan_SIP, etc that are no longer supported by Asterisk devs and are deprecated.
As of Asterisk 17 Chan_SIP is noload which means it requires you to tell Asterisk to use Chan_SIP when you compile it and configure it. That would mean if A2Billing worked in Asterisk 16 it won’t work in Asterisk 17 unless you enable Chan_SIP or modify the code of A2Billing to use PJSIP.
Now that being said, you are in a different position than most as you already updated the code to support PHP7 which means you have the knowledge and skillset to deal with the gaps in A2Billing but unless you or someone like you is going to overhaul the project and keep it updated, A2Billing is essentially dead in the water.

Trixbox 2.8 migration to FreePBX
I just want to add, I was able to convert two old 2.8 Trixbox’s last year but dropping into the FreePBX admin GUI and doing a module update. It updated the box to 2.9 and I was able to use the conversion tool.
I’ll just say, while it did work last year I can’t guarantee it will still work but it is worth a try.

as someone that installs FreePBX professionally I don’t have any problem with the Web GUI it was not that hard to learn after watching all the videos of crosstalk solutions and watching all sangoma University videos and sometimes when I needed something specific I go to the wiki and the forums were very good when I needed some help, I like all the advanced features there are so many implementations one day someone will use that feature, there is a huge silent majority of people that implement this solution professionally as an IT and these people do not want a simplified cotton candy version we love Advanced options, and we hate when menus are changing places there is a reason why in Windows the control panel never changes , and the feature that is most important to us is Rock Solid stability because all we needed to do is make phone calls day in and day out and when it’s unstable it ruins our day, and I would rather pay for a few modules one time then have a monthly or yearly fee so the other systems are not a comparison, this is an advanced product and you need to take the time to train learn about SIP and networking as well if not your customer will have a bad experience, no one can just pick up an advanced product without training and install it at a customer site the next day, I used it as my phone system for a year before I sold it for someone else

Just so you understand the System Admin Pro module is the only module that doesn’t require a yearly support renewal. That’s why all your commercial modules will have a “Renew” button next to them when their yearly support is up. Basically when you spend the $149 on EPM it gives you a 25 year license for use but only 1 year of support and upgrades. If you want to continue have support and upgrades to the module you need to pay an annual support fee.
So you’re never just paying a “one time” fee unless you don’t care about the support/updates part.

so far my model is if it ain’t broke don’t fix and I don’t keep it exposed to the internet
would I like to see updates for 25 years Yes but I’m okay without it
I only upgrade if I see a new feature I want and so far when I finish setting it up it does everything I want
