I need a phone that can do paging by group. I need to be able to use it as an intercom to let multiple people in other buildings know something quickly without calling them all individually or waiting for anyone to pick up the phone. I also need this phone to include a cordless handset so people can grab it and take it into other rooms as needed. I’d also like it to be well integrated into Endpoint Manager and Asterisk in general.
I thought I had found the perfect phone until I discovered Aastra no longer sells the CT (cordless) models. Does anyone have recommendations?
What’s making this more difficult to find is that there seems to be no standard name for the paging/intercom feature and I’m always unsure whether a phone supports what I want. For example, I’ve run into the terms “set paging” and “intercom”. I’m never really sure which of those (or other terms) is the feature I’m looking for to do what I want.
