Just received another notification of a price increase from Daisy so thought it would be wise to shop around.

Any recommendations please?

I've worked with a few of the people there in the past, and they're decent.

I'm just waiting on delivery on a HiHi system from Harvey Communications.

A little more expensive than I planned but we spend a lot of time on video calls so I thought i'd spend the extra. Let me know if you'd like a introduction.

What's the deal with HiHI - I cannot seem to get any information on pricing at all, which does put me off of contacting them

We moved to an Avaya Cloud Office VOIP solution last Nov and I've been really pleased with it. We pay about £10 per user per month including handset rental and all mobile/landline calls. Comes with instant messaging, video conferencing etc. and was really easy to get working.
We signed up through the local telephony company who've been looking after our traditional IP 500 system for the last 5 years.

It works out at about £55 p/handset p/mth (based on having two lines - not an issue for us as we tend to have more video calls than anything else).

Certainly more expensive than others but it should save me having to buy mobile phones for the team as well (it comes with an app that you can download that will re-direct calls from the deskphone)

Also not a deal breaker but it was good to know that all the development and support is based in Bournemouth and the handsets are all manufactured in the UK

We had a meeting with a HiHi rep too, and their handsets look quite slick with their big screens, but we decided that the gimmick of having a big screen and camera built into the handset wasn't worth the huge cost premium. We've already got big screens on our desks that we can use for video calling wink

You don't say what you are looking for and roughly what your annual spend is.
Daisy do mobiles, landlines, data circuits, phone systems cloud and hardware.

Good point! Just looking for the line rental and call costs.
