True story…
As a telecommunications carrier, OMNIconnect was missing one product from our range of services… Phones!
After moving our own phone system to Vonex and using it for over a year, we liked it so much we decided partner with them…. and as they say, the rest is history.
OMNIconnect has been a Vonex Partner since 2015 and have happily recommended their product range to our customers seeking the many advantages of their cloud hosted PBX.

Standard PBX Features.
Simultaneous Ring (Twinning)
Twinning is Simultaneous Ring on a mobile device that is bound to your handset, the call can be picked up from either your handset or mobile.
Unlike call forward twinning is designed to work with hunt groups and agent groups, where it will immediately forward to the mobile number. Or if it set up directly on an extension it can be set to the following ring time options before forwarding to the mobile number: Immediately, 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds or 20 seconds.
Transferring Calls
Cold Transfer
To cold transfer calls, hit the transfer button dial the number you wish to transfer to and press the tick or OK button.
Warm Transfer (announcement)
To warm transfer calls place the call on hold (not park), dial the number you wish to transfer to, announce the call and then press the transfer button then the tick or OK button.
After-hours service flags
After-Hours Service Flags can be assigned to Auto Attendants, Agent Groups and Hunt Groups. They are designed to send calls straight to message bank or number of your choosing outside business hours.
When requesting a service flag please advise your business hours.
Virtual Message Bank
Virtual Message Bank can be used as a centralised message bank when you do not want to use an extension i.e. for an Auto Attendant, Agent Group,
or Hunt Groups as well as after-hours allowing consultants to have their own message banks for their individual extensions only.
Generally they are setup in the 600 extension range and can be set to send straight to an email address.
To check messages on a virtual message bank you dial 8 followed by the extension number (e.g. 8600 to access the message bank of extension 600). To access the main menu press * and enter the access code 201100.
Auto Attendant
An auto attendant is an automated IVR (Interactive Voice Response) letting callers select from a recorded list of options or dial a direct extension.
You can have up to 10 options per auto attendant on the button 0-9, you may also have a different night service on each option as well as have an option go to a voice mail, mobile or hunt group.
This is very useful if you have different areas with multiple handsets, for example:
Option 1 – Sales
Option 2 – Support
When configured with Agent Groups each option can even have a different ring tone and display the option name on the handsets within the group.
Voicemail to EMAIL
Voicemail to Email can be setup on any extension or a virtual message bank.
Our standard setting is to send the voicemail as a wave file attachment which can be played in media player with the voicemail deleted from the message bank. The following options can also be selected:
-
Send email on missed calls
-
Send email at the end of every call
-
Send email on status changes
-
Send email when mailbox is full
-
Send email if the call was rejected due to blacklisted number
Hunt Groups
Our Hunt Groups have 4 tiers and can have multiple numbers on each tier, these numbers can be extensions or outbound numbers, generally the final stage is used for a voicemail box.
Hunt Groups have their own DID which generally becomes the main incoming number unless the customer has an Auto Attendant.
Example of a Hunt Group:
Stage | Extensions | Duration |
1 | 500 | 10 sec. |
2 | 500,501 | 10 sec. |
3 | 500,501,502 | 10 sec. |
Final | 8500 |
In this example the reception phone (500) will ring for 30 seconds with extensions 501 ringing as well after 10 seconds, all 3 handsets will ring for the final 10 seconds with the call finally diverting to the message bank of extension 500 after a total of 30 seconds.
Hunt Groups can also have an after-hours service flag which goes straight to message bank or number of your choosing outside business hours.
Message Bank
To access Message Bank from your handset, press the Retrieve Button.
To access Message Bank from any handset dial 8 followed by the extension number (e.g. 8500 to access the message bank of extension 500).
To access the main menu press * and enter the access code.
201100 is the standard pin code for all handsets, this can be changed by the customer and if they forget their new pin code we can reset to the original.
Main Menu
To hear your messages = 1
To change your access code = 2
To record your name = 3
To record your personal welcome message = 4 To record a message = 5
To select your mail box greeting = 9
Messages Menu
Repeat = 4
Delete = 7
Call Back = 8
Envelope Information = 5 Help = 0
Call Parking
The “call park” feature is a system wide hold, its activated by pressing a pre-programed button on your handset. This transfers the current telephone conversation to that button and immediately puts the caller on hold. The park button will then flash on all handsets programmed with the park feature.
If the desired called party is not the person who picked up the call, and the desired called party is at another location, the person who picked up the call may park the call and then asked the desired called party to retrieve the call.
For example, Karen is an assistant and Holly is her boss. If Karen picks up a call whose desired called party is Holly, Karen can park the call and say “Holly, you have a call parked on line 1” and Holly would press the park 1 button that has been programmed on her Handset to retrieve the call on hold.
