Re: [VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

Since I haven't seen it mentioned here yet... you may want to take a look at the VTech cordless solution, specifically the VSP600 - https://businessphones.vtech.com/pd/2546/VSP600-ErisTerminal-SIP-DECT-Base-Station-and-Cordless-Handset This one can have 6 phones per base, and can each be named roo

Re: [VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

Get one of each and give them a try. I prefer the Yealink over the Snom and Grandstream. I find the styling more to my taste and prefer the UI and underlying OS. But each to their own :) > On Wed, Jan 4, 2017 at 5:17 PM, Ernesto Miro Cons > wrote: > The hotel is m

Re: [VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

Touchscreen phones only apply if the hotel has a specific desire to integrate some sort of functionality into them, or just use something glitzy that can show ads, or ideas about things to do, etc. I have a GXV3275 on my desk, and love it. The screensaver just displays family photos, but could sh

Re: [VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

The hotel is mid to high range with 42 bedrooms. IP phones are a must, and the customer suggested going with wireless. I like the GX1625 simple and cheap phone ideas some of you have voiced and will add it to the list. So far no one has mentioned using touchscreen phones, so I am tempted to remo

Re: [VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

I suggest they consider their target customer demographic. If catering to the weary transient traveler or the elderly pensioner, keeping it simple might be the best plan, so get an inexpensive proven IP phone like one of the Grandstreams. If they are a modern facility with an eye on enabling te

Re: [VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

I've been to quite a number of hotels with cordless phones. Seems to be the higher end places where people are less likely to steal one or do something stupid with it. I would think this is just part of the process of discovering what the property thinks their customers will want. On Wed, Jan 4

Re: [VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

I have never been to a hotel that used cordless phones. Cordless phones are more likely to break and lose in my opinion. Is your intention to keep from running cable? I would be looking at a cheap, basic phone. The gxp1615 fits that bill. Sincerely, Keln Taylor On Wed, Jan 4, 2017 at 5:42 PM,

Re: [VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

Hi Ernesto, In my opinion, trying to pick the IP Phone device for a Hotel would be the wrong way of approaching the solution. You need to nail down the other requirements (these features are typically grouped together under Hospitality Phone System), and in many cases there is a requirement

Re: [VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

And this may be obvious, but...lock down the phones with a good password! Also I'd recommend using MAC filtering on the phone network so people don't go hooking up laptops there and screw up voice quality or attack the voice network. On Wed, Jan 4, 2017 at 4:42 PM, Ernesto Miro Cons wrote: > Go

Re: [VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

A lot would depend on how much the hotel wants to integrate into the phones, and how much they think people will use them. We're doing a system using Grandstream GXP1625s because the hotel owner says they almost never get calls. People just don't use wake-up or concierge service any more, and the

[VoiceOps] Hotel IP phones

Good day everyone, I was told that VoiceOps.org was a great place to begin discussions and conversations with other carriers about Voice Over IP subjects, and hope I am not breaking any rules for this forum. I am being tasked with suggesting several models of IP phones for a small hotel in Texas
