Re:What kind of telephone system for a small business? by justhamade on Monday August 16, 2010 @02:32AM (#1607035)
Finally a post I can respond to on HN.

1. If you want decent wireless phones I think your budget might be a bit low, check out the Snom M3 http://www.voipsupply.com/sh-m3dect-basic, or the Aastra 57iCT http://www.voipsupply.com/aastra-6757i-ct. (Cisco's phones are not worth the money)

2. SIP trunks/hosted PBX will save you some money but you need a good connection 3. You need QoS if you only have 1 internet connection. If you are doing a lot of calls at once you might want to get your another connection http://www.bandcalc.com/

4. If you go with a SIP trunk might as well use hosted PBX onebox, ringcentral, toktumi are ones that I have heard of 5. If you need high reliability stay on analog lines and get a server with FXS, I have used Xorcom. Cost is around $1100.

6. Do you need fax? Some hosted services come with faxtoemail and emailtofax.
