Vonage I am a small business just getting started and want to begin operations with a Vonage
I am a small business just getting started and want to begin operations with a Vonage based telephone system. I have attempted to read these forums and do other research with hardware providers and all I am getting is mixed and conflicting answers. I am not a telephone expert and at this initial stage of the business startup cycle I do not have a lot of money to throw at consultants and thought I would be able to find a system that I could get installed relatively cheaply and which wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to run. So I thought I would come to the source and get info here from the real experts. Here is a summary of my situation:
..Start up involving a home office (Chicago) and 2 branch offices (NY & MI) with expectation to be in most major cities across the country. The initial set-up envisioned is to have four lines (+fax line) at the home office and 2 lines (+fax line) at each of the branches. I would like to start with the home office as I am just now moving in and do not have a phone system, and would like to use it to get familiar with its working. Then move to hook up branch offices.
Given the situation, my questions are all over the board, do I need special phones or do the phones react solely to the dial tone? Are there prepackaged solutions off the shelf that I can purchase? What can you expect as charges to have someone professionally install the complete system? Would it be best to buy a system and have someone install it or purchase the complete solution, hardware, software and installation together? Or some combination thereof?
Any help, offers or just learning of experiences others have faced and their reactions to them in this same situation.
Thanks in advance.
