Getting Started with Your LeanPBX Account

Welcome to LeanPBX

LeanPBX is a cloud-based business phone system that lets you manage calls, extensions, voicemail, and more — all from your browser. No hardware to install, no software to download. Every new account includes a $5.00 free calling credit to get you started.

Set Up Your Phone System in 4 Steps

After creating your account, your dashboard shows an onboarding checklist. Follow these steps to go live:

1

Get a Phone Number

Pick a local or toll-free number for your business. This is the number your customers will call. You can search by country, state, and area code.

2

Create Your First Extension

An extension is a phone line for a person or device. Choose a display name and caller ID — the system generates your SIP credentials automatically. Enable the web phone to make calls from your browser.

3

Set Up Voicemail

Configure voicemail so you never miss a message. Voicemail recordings are delivered to your email inbox as audio attachments.

4

Make Your First Call

Open the built-in web phone by clicking the phone icon at the bottom of your screen. Place a test call to confirm everything is working.

Your Dashboard at a Glance

Once set up, your dashboard gives you a real-time overview of your entire phone system:

✓ Account balance & estimated next bill
✓ Active extensions & registration status
✓ Live call activity in real time
✓ Recent inbound & outbound calls
✓ Quick actions for common tasks
✓ Call volume & peak hours charts
