Phone Systems Vendors in New York

The total cost of the phone system you choose will depend on several factors, among them the type of system you choose and the number of employees you have. Most phone system costs are expressed as the total cost per user- here's a quick guide to how much you can expect to pay for some of the most popular types of phone systems.

Key systems: These usually run anywhere from $300 to $1,000 per user. Prices can vary widely because the total cost is dependent on the features your business will require.

PBX systems: Costs usually start at around $800 per user for a very basic system, though most companies end up paying up to $1000 per user due to added feature costs. Features like voicemail, call waiting, and call transfer are not always included in a basic service package- in most cases, they can be added for additional charges. Most vendors offer discounts to companies that purchase especially large systems, such as for 100 employees or more.

KSU-less systems: This is the least expensive type of phone system, because minimal equipment is required- the only per-person expense is the telephones themselves. Telephones for this type of system usually range from $100 to $250 per phone.

VoIP systems: This type of system may require additional equipment, such as a router or adapters to non-VoIP telephones. System costs, though, tend to be lower than most traditional landline based systems. A VoIP phone can cost anywhere from about $100 to $250.
