FreePBX offers various feature codes that end-users can dial from a handset or softphone to access specific PBX functionalities. These feature codes are universally available regardless of the phone model or softphone application being used, as they are processed by the FreePBX system.

Below are explanations and instructions for using the specified FreePBX feature codes:

Call Trace (*69)

The Call Trace feature allows you to identify the last caller who rang your extension. When you dial *69, the system will typically announce the phone number of the last incoming call that you did not answer or that rang your extension. It does not initiate a call back.

1. To trace the last call:

• Pick up your handset or activate your softphone.
• Dial *69.
• Listen for the audio announcement of the last caller's phone number.

Echo Test (*43)

The Echo Test feature is useful for checking the audio quality of your phone or softphone's microphone and speaker. When you dial *43, the system will play back anything you say, allowing you to hear how your voice sounds to others.

1. To perform an Echo Test:

• Pick up your handset or activate your softphone.
• Dial *43.
• Wait for the prompt (e.g., "Welcome to the FreePBX echo test. Please speak now.").
• Speak clearly into your microphone.
• Listen for your voice to be played back to you.
• Hang up when finished.

Speak Your Number (*65)

The Speak Your Number feature announces the extension number or caller ID associated with your phone. This is useful if you are unsure of your own extension or how your caller ID is presented.

1. To hear your number:

• Pick up your handset or activate your softphone.
• Dial *65.
• Listen for the audio announcement of your phone number or extension.

Speaking Clock (*60)

The Speaking Clock feature provides the current time and date verbally. This is a convenient way to get an accurate time reference without needing an external clock.

1. To hear the Speaking Clock:

• Pick up your handset or activate your softphone.
• Dial *60.
• Listen for the audio announcement of the current time and date.
