Nextcloud gets a business phone system, next to Nextcloud Talk

GCNA · 12 November 2026

Phone System is now on the Nextcloud App Store. It brings a business phone system, powered by Vodia, into Nextcloud 33 and 34: your team calls customers from the browser, calls contacts with one click and never loses a missed call, while Nextcloud Talk stays the place for chat and video meetings.

In short

Phone System does not replace Nextcloud Talk; it adds what Talk is not built for: a business phone system.
A phone window in Nextcloud that stays open next to your work; voice runs in the browser, with no softphone to install.
Click-to-call from the contacts menu, missed-call notifications with Call back, recent calls on the Dashboard.
Administrators buy the phone system inside Nextcloud, or link one powered by Vodia they already run.
From USD 29 per month for up to 5 users; the app itself is free.

Nextcloud stays your workplace and Talk your meeting room; Phone System connects them with a phone system, your colleagues and your customers.

Talk is for meetings. Customers still call.

Nextcloud Talk has made chat and video meetings part of Nextcloud. But customers, suppliers and partners still pick up the phone, and they dial a number, not a Talk conversation. Talk reaches the phone network only through its SIP bridge, which comes with Nextcloud Enterprise. Phone System closes that gap for every Nextcloud with the app installed: the business phone moves into Nextcloud, next to Talk.

What a phone system adds that Talk does not

Phone System is powered by Vodia, a full business phone system. Besides calls in the browser, it brings phone numbers and the features companies expect from a PBX: call queues, voice menus, call recording, desk phones and mobile apps. Talk keeps doing what it does best; the phone system takes the calls.

Phone features inside Nextcloud

Click-to-call: call a contact straight from Nextcloud's contacts menu.
Missed calls: a notification with a Call back button.
Recent calls: a Dashboard widget with your latest calls.
For administrators: buy a phone system or link one you already run, then give selected users an extension in one step.
