ToggleReady to win your campaign this November?
New this election year is the cloud-native release of the popular open source FreePBX virtual phone system, bringing together cutting-edge telephone calling features that you can privately customize in less time at significantly lower price points than one-size-fits-all competitors.
Seasoned politicians know that last minute automated calls and text messages are keys to victory. Listening to the voices of your allies and candidates leads to positive outcomes at the ballot box. However, when the crunch time arrives, many find themselves paying exorbitant prices for the limited remaining phone lines. Too often, the oversold “best effort” attempts fall short, as your upstream provider runs out of capacity and simply fails to get your calls out before election day.
Stay ahead of your opponents with nimble FreePBX modules such as XactDialer and SMS Pro!
This fall, the best political consultants are recommending their Information Technology DevOps teams and volunteers spin up some virtual machines running Debian 12 GNU/Linux free software in their campaign cloud of choice. Then, they log in with Secure SHell (SSH) and install FreePBX by quickly running a few basic commands:
1. cd /tmp 2. wget -O /tmp/sng_freepbx_debian_install.sh 3. bash /tmp/sng_freepbx_debian_install.sh
During setup, navigate your web browser to your new FreePBX web interface and activate some new phone numbers with the integrated SIPstation module in just a few clicks. With Sangoma’s SIPstation and CLEC-level origination services, you can choose unlimited or metered calling plans to cost-effectively suit your campaign’s needs. Combine your PBX with some commercial modules like XactDialer, SMS Pro, CDR Pro, and CRM Link – or run pure open source – either way, the FreePBX solution meets you where you are.
Attention IT campaign volunteers in local elections:
Don’t wait on outside vendors! You can help your candidate friends get their phone system setup tonight after work, and have them ready to start calling and texting from their softphone apps tomorrow morning. Leverage your experience with the world’s most popular open source communications frameworks – FreePBX and Asterisk – and help self-manage this critical part of the campaign in-house while saving precious donor contribution dollars.
Need a few more batteries included by the experts at Sangoma? Try PBXact Cloud – all the FreePBX open source amenities and many commercial modules bundled together in turnkey form.
Power your election communications with FreePBX and Sangoma trunking services, and bring your campaign to new levels of success and engagement.
