Popular IP Phones Compared

Choosing the best IP phones for your business is a difficult task, so to help with this decision process we have collected details on a number of very popular models that are commonly supported by many of the established service providers and are affordable. There is often very little difference in phone features so only features that have been seen to vary are included. Common call management features such as 3-way conference, caller-id, etc are not listed as most phones have these capabilities so there is little differentiation from that respect.

The key items that typically impact the price of the phones are:

The table below details a selection of six (6) phone models which are considered to be the most popular and that work well with many hosted services. The list includes manufacturers such as Yealink, Polycom, Cisco, and Grandstream. The main phone features are often very similar and most users should not need to worry about protocols or quality service CODECs. It is however important to confirm that a particular phone is supported by your service provider before purchasing. That could turn out to be a costly mistake.

To add your review of any phone model, please visit the phone review page. Use the links to the right of this page to learn more about phone models available from each manufacturer as well as access user reviews.

If you decide that you want to keep some of your existing analog phones for your business then you can utilize phone adapters. This can potentially be a cheaper alternative, but you miss out on all the functionality that an IP enabled phone can bring to a business user. This may not be an issue for some locations within your business so is worth consideration.
