Best Business VoIP Phone System Appliances
There are many reasons why an in-house phone system can be the right choice over a hosted VoIP solution. Each definitely has their advantages, but depending on individual situations, one might be preferable to the other. For instance, you have existing phone service you want to keep, but need a new PBX system with the latest features. These IP PBXs are affordable and have no license fees, saving thousands initially and for years after. Here are two affordable small business phone system top picks.
Top 2 Affordable IP-PBX Business Phone Systems
Grandstream UCM 6200 IP-PBX Appliance
The Grandstream UCM 62xx series IP PBX appliances have been well received by the telecom and network
community. This
on-premises UC device is becoming a go-to choice for small businesses that
either use traditional phone lines and want to add VoIP or just connect using
VoIP. The
different UCM models primarily differ in the overall capacity and the number of FXO ports
(traditional phone lines), otherwise they are all similar. The smaller models, the UCM 6202 and UCM 6204
have accordingly 2 and 4 FXO ports. In our view, four FXO ports would suffice for a majority of small offices,
who have 3 or 4 lines plus a fax line which goes directly to their fax machine and therefore
would not even have to connect
through the appliance. The expansion in more phone lines would come from adding SIP trunks, connecting to a
VoIP provider which will offer savings in overall telephone costs. For most companies, the UCM appliances
will do everything required, plus allow for substantial growth, all without license fees. The
front-end GUI (Graphical User Interface) is easy to navigate and installation with Grandstream's
GXP phones goes smoothly. Great for those that want to take the phone system under in-house management. Paired together, phones and
appliance, Grandstream has designed an IP-PBX that comes in at very
affordable prices.

Yeastar MyPBX SOHO
Robust
and feature packed is how we describe the Yeastar PBX appliance. Yeastar has been a world presence with
their IP-PBX systems. With multiple language support, they are stretching their reach around the globe. With an
affordable and dependable line of IP phone systems (think Yealink), the
Yeastar PBX is a great choice for the small office or business with up to
around fifteen phones. For those that need connections to traditional
telephone lines, an added card will allow for a start of two FXO lines
with capabilities for more. We've added it as a second
affordable small Asterisk appliance now that Yeastar has created
exceptional tutorials that take a user
through installation, setup, and how to set up the system. Paired with Yealink
SIP phones, that are already in large use with installations around the USA,
this complete phone system will be extremely affordable and have just about
every feature most companies would ever want.
