Re: [WISPA] Office Phones
We've used the Panasonic 4 line cordless phone system for years in my office. http://cgi.ebay.com/Panasonic-KX-TG4000B-2-4GHz-4-Line-Phone-System-Base-/200543100182?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item2eb14cdd16 Had some trouble with the handset number pads but found a place that does reasonable priced repairs and are happy with the results. The only down side I have is that it maxes at 4 lines. Has voice mail, caller id etc. etc. etc. Not sure about transferring a call to a cell phone though. You'd probably have to conference two people together for that. marlon - Original Message - From: Ryan Spott To: WISPA General List Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2010 7:06 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Office Phones Purchase PBXtra http://pbxtra.fonality.com/products/pbxtra/ (full support, excellent system, totally plug and chug) or use http://fonality.com/trixbox/ if you don't want to pay anything. ryan On Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 6:30 AM, Steve Barnes st...@pcswin.com wrote: I had a direct Lightening hit to our office 2 weeks ago and My ATT phone system is now acting up and loses calls all the time.

If you want local and remote extensions with Vox you will have to get a sip trunk from them and go with an ip pbx.

Re: [WISPA] Office Phones
Steve, We can assist you with a VoIP PBX server in-house. You believe you can still use VOX for trunking. This would give you the freedom to pick your own phones, you can use cheap analog cordless if you wish, ATAs , or nice desk phones. Music On hold, as many extensions as you would ever need.

Re: [WISPA] Office Phones
Learning Asterisk dialplans (extensions.con, AEL, etc) is different from using a Asterisk powered by FreePBX (GUI). http://www.freepbx.org/ I would also recommend Polycom desk phones. Not sure who makes good cordless phones. I'm currently looking at a cordless from Yealink. You should look into the PIKA WARP appliance as a PBX. http://www.pikatechnologies.com/english/View.asp?x=652 Even with a GUI Asterisk still has a learning curve, but nowhere near the time required if you were manually writing dialplans. SIP Station has an auto-configure module for FreePBX which will setup their SIP trunks with a few clicks. http://www.sipstation.com/ I have experience with all of the above.
