You are convinced and want to switch to VoIP! Very good, but how do you select a good VoIP phone? What things do you need to know in order to make a purchase? Here we concisely explain how to select the best VoIP phone for your business.
A good VoIP phone:
Good to know is that a VoIP phone works just like a traditional phone. Only the way you connect it differs. For example, you connect a traditional phone through the ISDN network, where you connect a VoIP phone to your Internet network.
Here are some basics:
- Customized to your network situation
- Compatible with your telephone system
- Offer the features that fit your needs
Are there any Internet ports available or will you connect the IP phone to the computer via an Ethernet cable? Do you prefer to connect the phone via a power adapter?
It is all possible! Much depends on your personal situation. Do you have doubts about certain things? Contact us so we can go over this together!
In addition, of course, it is good to think about what features are important to your organization. For example, a number of phones allow you to see whether your colleagues are busy. But you may also have specific requirements in terms of speakerphone, conference calls, music on hold, etc.
Which device can I connect to my VoIP PBX?
Not every telephone handset will be compatible with your PBX. So it is extremely important to first check which VoIP devices your PBX supports.
Which phone device suits you best is determined by the situation and environment in which you work. At work, users often have different needs than at home or on the road. Consider, for example:
- Fixed desktop devices
- Wireless(DECT) devices
- Professional headsets
- HD Voice Quality
Connecting VoIP phone
A VoIP phone is easy to connect by placing it between the PC and the utp wall outlet. You then use only 1 utp port. This is especially useful in new construction (saving on network cabling) or when the company grows (not enough utp connections).
There are also Gigabit devices. These are intended for companies that have a gigabit network. Your device can then be placed in the network without problems without needing a second utp port or taking speed out of the workstation.
You can also opt to work through a power adapter if you don't have POE power. This way, you don't have to change your network and can easily use your VoIP phone.
