So you've made the (correct) decision for your business to go Voip, you've selected the best, ITPSA approved, service provider, and you're feeling pretty damn good about yourself (as you should be). But there is one thing you've overlooked; the one thing that in the world of analogue communication would not be an issue. How do you go about choosing the right IP business phone?
With so many IP phones to choose from on the market, how do you know which is the right phone for your requirement. You're boss is bound to seek your advice so you need to know what you're talking about or risk being made to look like a pleb. Well never fear, 'cus I am here, and this article will give you all the information you need to make the correct, informed decision.
Firstly, lets consider desk phones. Desk phones are, without doubt, the essential office phone for any and all businesses. Desk phones offer more features and variety than any other phone types and connect straight to your broadband router or LAN. When you're looking for the best desk phone be sure to check out the top four companies in the field; Snom, Yealink, Aastra & Cisco.
Next to DECT phones. Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications phones are cordless voip phones designed to give you complete freedom of movement and enable multiple voip phones to operate from one base. When it comes to DECT, Siemens have the market pretty locked down, although some tasty examples from Snom can be found at the higher end of the market.
And the final category belongs to conference phones. Now, while a conference phone may not be the most suitable choice for day-to-day call, nothing says class and success like a conference phone. (Except for, maybe, a Rolls Royce, a private jet, a yacht or a mansion)
As well as the standard LCD display, a range of IP desk phones bought out last year - such as the Aastra 6379i - come complete with innovative touch screen technology. The 6379i also boasts a built in Bluetooth interface enabling you to connect a Bluetooth head set and giving you the freedom to roam around the office completely hands free.
When it comes to DECT phones, style is everything. Some DECT phones also boast an impressive array of features, but they will always come in second to desk phones when it comes to versatility and flexibility. And once again, if quality is what youre after, Siemens are the ones to trust.
And there you have it. The world of Voip phones in one pocket-sized article. You now have all of the necessary information to make a wise and informed decision and choose the right phone for your business requirements; be it desk, DECT or even conference. But if you're one of those people who just cant make a decision without knowing every minutiae, you'd better get studying, son.
