PBX BETA Testing (Will be Available for Resellers)

[VOIPoTim]

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.

Not sure what you mean. What was the issue?

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?

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.

Sweet let me know when you are ready to discuss some of the situations that are equivalent to the VPS and Dedicated, I would love to not turn a sale away

Prob in the new year. We want to get any remaining bugs ironed out as more are found in real-world use and get documentation in place before pushing larger ones.

Sounds Good
