Elevator Phones
COMMERCIAL ELEVATOR PHONES
NASHVILLE & MIDDLE TENNESSEE
ICTAlly installs commercial elevator phones on cellular dial tone, with a required 4-hour battery backup, and monitoring through a partnered monitoring service. POTS copper lines are getting expensive and are slowly being transitioned out. The work covers Nashville, Middle Tennessee, and Kentucky. Area of Refuge phones typically get dial tone from ICTAlly, and the fire alarm company monitors that phone.
What We Provide
What Does a Commercial Elevator Phone Project Include?
ICTAlly installs the elevator phone when the building needs one. Cellular dial tone includes a required 4-hour battery backup. Monitoring for the elevator phone is through a partnered monitoring service. POTS copper lines are getting expensive and are slowly being transitioned out. The work is commercial only, for buildings in Middle Tennessee and Kentucky. Desk phones, conference rooms, and paging stay on VoIP phone systems and telecommunications. When the building needs cameras, cabling, or access control on the same visit, that is our low voltage contractor work.

On the Job
What the Elevator Phone Box Looks Like
Elevator phone wall box on a commercial install, labeled Elevator PHONE. ICTAlly puts this phone on cellular dial tone, with a required 4-hour battery backup and partnered monitoring, in place of an expensive POTS copper line.
POTS Replacement
Why Leave an Expensive POTS Line?
POTS is plain old telephone service: the copper phone line a commercial building still pays for, often the line that feeds the elevator phone. POTS is getting expensive and is slowly being transitioned out. ICTAlly installs the elevator phone when the building needs one, and provides cellular dial tone with a required 4-hour battery backup. Monitoring for the elevator phone is through a partnered monitoring service.
Savings stay qualitative. We do not print a dollar figure or a percentage. The quote comes after we walk your building. For the wider copper picture in Nashville, see our POTS line replacement guide. This page stays on the elevator phone and Area of Refuge dial tone.
What Changes
- Cellular dial tone replaces the copper POTS line
- A 4-hour battery backup is required
- Elevator phone monitoring is a partnered monitoring service
- POTS is getting expensive and is slowly being transitioned out

Area of Refuge
Need Dial Tone for an Area of Refuge Phone?
Typically, yes. Area of Refuge (AOR) dial tone is part of this page, not a separate service. ICTAlly provides the dial tone for an Area of Refuge phone. The fire alarm company monitors that phone.
ICTAlly does not monitor the Area of Refuge phone, and this service is not fire alarm work. Local code and AHJ requirements decide the details for a given building. We do not cite a code edition here, and we do not claim an elevator or Area of Refuge certification. Ask your AHJ what the building needs.

Provide Dial Tone
We provide cellular dial tone so the elevator phone can leave the POTS copper line. When the building has an Area of Refuge phone, we typically provide dial tone for that phone. The fire alarm company monitors the Area of Refuge phone.
