Yealink Phones –

Current Favorite Phone –
Yealink T42G – http://www.yealink.com/product_info.aspx?ProductsCateID=310&parentcateid=1299&cateid=310&BaseInfoCateId=310&Cate_Id=310&index=3
– Purchase from Voice Carrier, Probably STC, Amazon, TTCS Computer Services, etc.
– I prefer the T46G over the T48G simply because I like having physical buttons over pure touch screen myself. Most customers don’t want to spend the extra money for just a touch screen and no other benefit.
(One of the bigger reasons I prefer the T4 series over the T3 is the physical weight of the phone. The T4’s are heavier, so they tend to feel more solid on the desk as you are pressing buttons and dialing)
Hosted VoIP Provider of choice – Charge per desired call capacity, not per extension or user. Good support team, access to network engineers. Good option for 2 phones on up to hotel sized clients (a little better deal the bigger you go, but still good choice for smaller offices)
