EventPhone (Bring your DECT phone)

wiki.png

The great thing about this community is that it is full of people that are very used to providing all sorts of services and facilities for others. And some are damn good at it too! So if you give a crowd of these people the idea that this is about making all of us maximally comfortable, weird things start to happen.

EventPhone started out as one of these strange things that just popped out of nowhere. By now they have become a part of the basic infrastructure of any large-scale European hacker event.

Bring a compatible DECT cordless phone that conforms to the GAP standard and come to the POC (Phone Operations Center) to register it.

If you don't have a compatible DECT cordless phone you can buy one for only 15 EUR at WTH

Then use the phone to make internal calls to any other extension for free. No more crazy double roaming charges just to find your friends, no more radio-discipline debates over a few crowded radio channels.

This is by no means a clunky hobby-thing: it's a professional system that boasts a huge internal call capability, and we'll be using it extensively ourselves as a replacement for the two-way radios everyone at events like this walks around with. Your extension can also be reached from the outside, the access code for this is: +31411629xxx
