simon43 Posted November 16, 2010 Share 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?

phazey Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) +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. Edited November 16, 2010 by phazey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
