PBX BETA Testing (Will be Available for Resellers)

The side menu on left? We've been debating about having it fully expanded vs keeping it hidden until clicking menu.

If that's what you're talking about, maybe that answers the question

YES!!! Keep it hidden or not come out so far as to cover up what your trying to configure, (And i have a WIDE screen monitor).

Knew this was coming, but Tim, when it comes time to designing price, we really should design a hotel option. I have now had to turn away 2 hotels.

I know I have looked through all of the docs, but can someone walk me through how to check a voicemail box on a phone? IE Extension 100 is assigned to voicemail box 200, how would you check the voicemail?

Not sure what you mean. What was the issue?

It'd hidden now until clicked.

Simultaneous call count for hotels are generally much higher... So the last one was a hotel with 50 rooms, if 10 guests pick up their phone in their room to make a call, the limit is hit instantly. Imagine a hotel with 200 rooms.
So in the pricing design, a Hotel pricing model is important to have.

Does that help?

To check VM from a phone, dial *MAIL[exten]. So if you want to check the voicemail box with extension 499, you'd dial *6245499. 6245 is MAIL.

We're working on docs.

We'll have higher simultaneous call plan limits later on. We just limited to 10 for the BETA and to keep pricing low. There will be higher plans later (but obviously more $).

Also, uf_shane, I know you're familiar with hosting. Basically think of the current model as "shared hosting". The 10 is a limit that encompasses 80% of clients and tons of PBXes go on each server.

We'll also have other solutions in the future for higher usage thresholds...kinda like VPS and dedicates. We built it so we can in theory setup fully isolated dedicated PBX servers for clients if needed outside of our shared cloud.
