Best VoIP Phones

Several brands of VoIP phones are available in the market. Finding the one that suits your budget and business needs can be daunting, especially for start-ups and small businesses. While venturing into a new domain, make sure you analyze what it is going to be used for and how many teams in your organization will be using it. Discuss with your IT and data security staff and consider their inputs in this decision. 

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is fast replacing the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). In VoIP or IP telephony, your voice communications will be on data. VoIP phones allow voice, video, collaborative interactivity at a much lesser cost than traditional telephones. There’s no hassle with phone lines either. It is essential for every Business Processing Outsourcing organization.

Analyze whether your current data network can handle the extra load from VoIP phones. If not, set up a network that can handle advanced network management. Plan on how you’ll provide ethernet connection to all the new phones on the desks. After sorting out your capacity testing and network capabilities, comes the difficult part of choosing the right phone. 

The best VoIP phones in the market are listed below with their product description. Breeze through it and find out which suits you best.
