S class customer wants Two way radio to be herd thru speakers on all phones. Any ideas

Thanks

2 way radio??

If you are just looking to play background music through the speakers then you are out of luck...the ESI systems won't do it - i know because i just lost a deal to a customer who had to have it.

Isn't is great that ESI concetrates on items like cell phone management, which I still don't get and other non essential features, instead of adding basic function features. Items like background music, True Flexible Numbering, Caller ID Block over a PRI on a per call basis, Account Codes, etc. Don't get me wrong the ESI has a lot of great features but these types of basic functions are deal breakers.

Police Dept Dispath wants to be able to hear whats going on anywhere in building. I didn't know if anyone had come up with anything.

Thank for input

I would imagine you could do something with paging speakers and use the aux input on the control unit.

Ant C, you can do account codes...

No system can do it all....i vividly remember losing a deal years ago when i was selling Partners because you couldn't use mute when using the handset...only the speakerphone.

I find that the ESI systems offer a ton of flexibility and very rarely do i run into an issue where i can't do something that is mission critical.

use a two-paging system, set up zones. And ESI phones have hands free answer back on the intercom.
