Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9858486A1] A system for providing temporary direct telephony services is disclosed. A server (172) having a plurality of connections (176) with a private branch exchange (130) (PBX) selectively assigns one or more of a plurality of direct in-dial (DID) telephone numbers to a guest. The server (172) associates a guest room (138) with the guest. The server (172) detects an incoming transmission of a DID telephone number and routes the incoming call to the guest room (138) assigned to the corresponding DID telephone number. Each guest room (138) has a telephone (134) which is connected to PBX (130) via a telephonic connection (135). The system (172) permits the guest to move to another guest room (138) and yet keep the same DID numbers previously assigned. In another embodiment, a method for providing temporary telephony services comprises: 1) selectively assigning one or more of a plurality of DID telephone numbers to a guest; 2) selectively associating one of a plurality of guest rooms (138) to the guest, each of the rooms having a telephone (134); and 3) detecting an incoming call of a DID telephone number via the PBX and routing the call to the guest room (138) assigned to the guest to whom the corresponding DID telephone number is assigned. The method permits the guest to move to another guest room (138) and yet keep the same DID numbers previously assigned.
