Try this article. It talks about setting it up with FS PBX
That helps some, but I got it to work.
But when you create the Dialplan, they all talk about creating an Inbound Route, which you can't access in FS PBX.
And I couldn't find the directory where the config are kept to create a new one from CLI.
I think the work around works, but still have some testing today, because one way messes up the IVR, and shows Schedules instead of Extension.
And I didn't see an option to goto a context like in Asterisk. :/

Yeah. This doesn't work with current FSPBX. That was back when it was largely based on FusionPBX.Try this article. It talks about setting it up with FS PBX
I've messaged Ward Mundy to take a look at his article and see what needs updating.
FSPBX does have inbound routes. I use them quite a bit, especially for unused numbers.
I dont know if this is the correct way to do it or not, but I have it working...
Create an extension with a call forward to an external number 14234684041
Then in the IVR I announce Leonard as option number 1, and if the caller does nothing it defaults to Lenny (trying to catch the spam callers)
I have the extension set to record calls, then I can go back in Call History and see if anyone got a chance to talk to Lenny

We do have inbound routes in FS PBX, but we generally prefer that users do not modify them directly.
We see many users coming from FreePBX, and one of the first things they look for is the ability to create or edit inbound routes. FS PBX is designed to handle this differently. Instead, you should go to the Phone Numbers page and add your numbers there. When a phone number is added, FS PBX automatically creates and manages the corresponding inbound route for you.
That is also why there is no Create button on the Inbound Routes page.
For advanced users—and I really mean users who fully understand what they are doing—it is possible to copy an existing inbound route and modify it as needed. For example, you can create a catch-all route this way.
However, I would not recommend manually modifying inbound routes for most users, since doing so bypasses the normal FS PBX workflow and can potentially create conflicts with the routes managed automatically by the system.
@gw22, this approach works well. I like it.
