Why Area Codes Still Matter in a Mobile World

Even in 2025, area codes remain important for personal and business communications. People move frequently but usually keep their original phone numbers because changing them is inconvenient and tied to banking, two-factor authentication, and multiple online accounts. For PBX administrators, area codes are essential for routing calls accurately, displaying the correct caller ID, and managing costs. Vodia PBX simplifies area code management with pattern-based dial plans, automatic updates, and smart trunk selection. This ensures that calls reach the right destination efficiently, maintain a local presence to increase pickup rates, and provide reliable communication both in North America and internationally.

Keycloak OpenID Connect Integration for the Vodia PBX

Vodia’s PBX now integrates with Keycloak OpenID Connect, providing secure single sign-on for users so they can access all connected applications without repeated authentication. Logging out from one application automatically logs the user out of all connected systems, simplifying user management and improving security. Keycloak, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, supports standard protocols including OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML, offering enterprise-grade identity and access management. To ensure proper integration, Keycloak user emails must match the corresponding PBX extension emails. Complete guidance is available in the Vodia Keycloak integration guide.
