Telephone systems - any advice on buying secondhand?

[LornaF 10]

Hi,

I'm working for a small company and we are looking at installing a business telephone system. We don't have any experience in this, I have contaced BT who quoted around £1000 for initial purchase and set up.

Ideally looking for a less expensive option and wondered about buying used.

Any advice would be very much appreciated!

Why not go for a less expensive VoIP system instead. How many extensions do you need (just to get an idea of what you mean by a small company).

Agreed, you should explore VoIP systems such as http://www.voipfone.co.uk/.

Hi,

sorry for delay in response! We have a total number of 6 full time and 2 part time staff.

4 full time staff need handsets and 2 part time could share hansets as work alternate days.

I'm having a look into Voip, thank you for the suggestion!

Origin Broadband have a voip router with 2 direct telephone connectors with unlimited extensions at £2 per month each. It works most of the time but worth having a BT line on standby if the voip fails.
