I run a small services business and our major overhead is the telephone. We are looking to make a major step and move into a serviced office building with secure Cisco networks, and I am looking to avoid their huge monthly telephony costs by putting in place a good VoIP solution to give us a more professional image.

There are 4 of us … we want to someone to be able to dial a main company number and be greeted by a company introduction message, and then presented with options on who they would like to be directed to. We want this solution to have all the normall business things you would expect like voicemail, call forwarding, message indicator, etc. Up to now I have been looking at the following solutions: Skype (obviously too basic for proper business purposes), SIP (like sipgate and voipfone … these look pretty good to me) and Primus Telecom.

Taking into account the functions we are looking for coupled with good value call rates what would you recommned?

Hi everyone, I bought a Zyxel P-2000W_V2 recently with the hope that I was going to use it through Skype. Unfortunately, this phone works with SIP. Notice that it s an external phone and not a software which connects wirelessly to my router. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to adjust it to work with Skype or if there is a way to make calls to Skype through it. Thanks a lot.

Hello, I’m thinking about signing up for VoipDiscount: http://www.voipdiscount.com/en/.

What phone do I use to go with it if I do get this service? I don’t have BlueTooth on my PC….it’s not too new a computer.

I heard about the SIP phone.
