🇬🇧 ModuleCalleridSearchCH — Documentation

Welcome to the official documentation of ModuleCalleridSearchCH for MikoPBX. This module enhances your telephone system with advanced CallerID search features, flexible encoding modes for various phone models, and professional management of call center rejections.


🔑 Note on the tel.search.ch API Key (Optional, but recommended)

An API key is not strictly mandatory for the basic search functionality. However, if you want to retrieve the corresponding addresses for telephone numbers as well, an API key from tel.search.ch is required.

  • Free for moderate usage: You can register for such an API key completely free of charge directly at search.ch/tel/api/getkey, provided it is used within moderate limits.
  • Simply enter the key in the module settings to unlock the full feature set.
