Keep familiar room phones
Use FXS gateway capacity to integrate established analog phones into the hotel's IP voice system.
Connect guest and service calls in your hotel
Connect rooms, reception, public areas, and hotel teams through a single call plan, while matching each area with the equipment type and call behavior it needs.
The service challenge
A hotel call only works when it reaches the right person
A guest may start with a room phone, while reception and service teams use different extensions and call handling rules.
When these points are fragmented, calls are harder to route and service response can slow down. A shared voice system gives each area a defined role without imposing the same equipment choice everywhere.
Transfer calls to the appropriate team
Use transfer and forwarding rules to route a guest call from reception to the relevant service extension.
Coordinate different hotel areas
Organize analog and SIP extensions around rooms, reception, public areas, and back-office responsibilities.
Four communication zones
Assign a clear calling role to each hotel zone
Start by determining who needs to call whom, then assign room phones, staff extensions, and calling rules to each part of the property.
Keep familiar room phones
Use FXS capacity to integrate established analog phones into the shared voice system.
Transfer calls to the appropriate team
Use transfer and forwarding rules for hotel service requests.
Coordinate the different hotel zones

Hotel calling scenarios
Follow the call from the guest to the team that can respond
OpenVox Business calling features support a practical sequence from the first room call through transfer, follow-up, and controlled extension use.
A guest reaches reception
An analog room phone or another designated hotel extension places a call through the shared voice system.
Reception routes the request
Call transfer moves the conversation to the service or back-office extension responsible for the request.
The call follows availability
Forwarding rules can direct unanswered or busy calls to a predefined destination in the operating plan.
Extensions follow hotel policy
Number analysis and permission settings define how different room and staff extensions can place calls.
