Just curious how much we should be spending for 4 office handsets, 2 x phone lines and 2 x mobile phones per year. We currently have BT lines but I'm considering VOIP. Last year we spent nearly £10k on phones and it seems really excessive for a small business. Most of our calls are incoming, everything is to UK.

We're considering moving to VOIP but this is with our current provider and I haven't had time to fully investigate costs as of yet.

VoIP has to be by far cheapest.

I use voipfone. Costs £3 per month rental, get a nice local recognisable number, and has a nice iPhone app, so when I am at home the office phone rings, then when I start driving away, it auto diverts to my iPhone. (Works through gps)

I like using the actual VoIP fixed handset, as the voice quality is fantastic, and I can actually hear my customers, unlike on my iPhone!

It certainly seems excessive for the situation you've described.

I'll send you a pm.
