simon43 Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 My hotel does not have an in-room telephone system. I want to implement a solution which enables guests to direct-dial out from their rooms, or to dial reception. There is limited ToT cabling in the area, and a VOIP solution looks the best way to use the existing high speed internet connection at the hotel, as well as allowing lower call-costs (or higher profit margin!). The system needs to record outbound call duration/destination, so that the guest can be billed accordingly. I've Googled about VOIP PBX systems, but they seem to only be available for larger hotels/businesses, with many hundreds of rooms. I could hardwire POTS phones from each guest room to the PBX location, or use (preferred), wifi phones in each room Is there a viable/cheapish solution that I can put together which will meet these requirements? Thanks Simon

phazey Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 +1 for asterisk, but setting it up with a decent billing solution is a pain. Luckily, someone has done it for you! Give Cyberhotel a try. Download this appliance and run with Vmware's free player so you can try it out. It will also handle any computers you have in a business centre too. http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/683703 If you are skilled enough, give trixbox a go - it's for larger voip scenarios. You'll have to install A2Billing seperatly, but it's not too difficult.
