Page the floor from any phone.
Check your business number in a few seconds. You’ll know it can come before you pay anything.
Rather talk it through? Write to us and a person answers.
Say it once.
The whole floor hears it.
Dial a code from any desk phone, and your voice plays through every speaker in that group: the service bays, the lot, the warehouse, or all of them at once.
Made for the loud places.
- Warehouses
Forklift to dock four.
Horn speakers over the racks and the docks reach people on the move. Make the docks two-way, and someone can answer back.
- Car dealerships
Service customer for the silver Tacoma, your car is ready.
A group for the showroom, one for the service bays and one for the lot, each its own code.
- Factories
Line three, shift change in ten minutes.
Horns loud enough for the floor, and pages that skip phones on a call, so the office keeps talking.
- Schools
Teachers, indoor recess today.
Speakers in classrooms, the gym and the yard, and a PIN on the all-call, so only people with it can page the whole building.
The speakers on the wall.
A paging speaker signs in to the phone system like a phone, with an extension of its own, and answers a page by itself. Put it in a group with your desk phones, which play pages on their own speakers.
- Horn speaker
Algo 8186
Rated for outdoors and wet places, and powered over its network cable. For yards, docks, car lots and loud floors. It’s in our device list: add it in Devices like a desk phone.
- Wall alerter
Algo 8180
Indoors, powered over its network cable, for voice pages in classrooms, offices, stores and break rooms. It signs in with an extension’s SIP password.
- Pendant speaker
Valcom VIP-415
Hangs from high ceilings over warehouse floors and gyms. Indoors, powered over its network cable, one-way or talkback. Valcom’s other SIP speakers and horns join a group the same way.

A group for every corner.
Name it, give it a code, and pick the phones and speakers it reaches. Staff dial the code to page.
- The code
- A star code like *56, or a number like 500.
- How it sounds
- One-way, or two-way so the paged phones can talk back.
- A chime
- Any recording from your audio files, played first.
- How long
- From 10 seconds to 5 minutes, then it ends by itself.
- Caller ID
- A short prefix, so a desk phone shows it’s a page.
Who pages, and who hears it.
Only your own phones page
A page starts from an extension on the account. A caller from outside can’t reach the speakers, even by transfer.
A PIN, if you want one
Put a PIN on a code, and only people who know it can page that group.
Calls aren’t interrupted
Phones already on a call are skipped, unless you turn that off for a group.
Do not disturb doesn’t stop it
The phone system doesn’t hold a page back for Do not disturb, and a page never follows forwarding.
On the iPhone, as a notification
The browser and the apps don’t play pages live. Turn on Pages in the iPhone app, and a one-way page arrives as a recording to play.
In call history
Every page is there: who paged which group, and who it reached.
Questions about paging.
- Which speakers work?
- The Algo 8186 horn speaker is in our device list, so you add it in Devices like a desk phone. Other paging speakers that sign in as a SIP phone, like Algo’s 8180 alerter, take an extension of their own and join a group the same way.
- Can someone answer back?
- Yes. Make the group two-way: the paged phones’ microphones open too, like an intercom.
- How long can a page last?
- You choose, from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. It ends when you hang up, or by itself at that limit.
- Do desk phones play pages too?
- Yes. A desk phone in a group answers by itself and plays the page on its speaker.
- Can we play a tone first?
- Yes. Pick any recording from your audio files as the group’s chime, and it plays before you speak.
