      @brianlittlejohn We used voipsupply.com

      They had everything we needed and the price seemed right. If you create an account and login you'll see the better, non-MSRP, pricing.

            We like them and they are local to us here in the Niagara region.

                VOIP Supply actually ships a lot of Yealink from Texas as they are just reselling another distributors inventory. Because of that they arent the best price I have seen out there either. Baltic is probably better.

                    Just looked and the phone we use is $14 cheaper on Baltic than it is on voipsupply

                        @scottalanmiller We do use the slightly higher end model SIP-T46G though... Our ROI switching to VOIP was like 6 months, so I sprung for nicer phones than we probably could have gotten away with. Additionally, to make them function exactly like our old system we needed more line keys than the lower models had.

                          I'm putting the T46S out for our new PBX.

                            The T46 is a solid phone if you want more visible keys at once.

                              Two questions:

                              1. Any thoughts about the official hosting provider http://www.freepbxhosting.com/virtual-private-server/?
                              2. Any experience with iOS softphone apps, especially with regards to being able to make and receive calls without having your cell number exposed, and call quality.

                                  I use Linphone for number 2, works really well.

                                    Just that it seems rather expensive.

                                      @kelly I have used it, it works. Just costs so much more than Vultr.

                                      They do support FreePBX via their ticket system and you get a couple free modules, one of which just became more expensive.

                                      But Vultr has been great...

                                        That's the big thing. It's like $40/mo instead of $5. That's 800% more. And is their hosting as good as Vultr? Maybe, maybe not. I don't have that info. But Vultr I know I'm getting an underlying vendor that I trust, and my FreePBX can be in the same pool as my other servers, not a one off with another platform vendor to manage separately. If this was the only VM that I had ever, sure, maybe. But $30+ / month premium for what appears to be basically nothing is a lot. That adds up quickly. You are still stuck supporting this system completely on your own.

                                          @Kelly Also, the specs of those VPS systems are crazy. The $34.99 system is 1vCPU and 2 GB of RAM and says 5-15 simultaneous calls? WTF?

                                          You get SysAdminPro (not super useful, but handy) which costs $25 normally and you get EndPoint manager which costs $150.

                                          Work the math and you will see that it does not make much sense long term.

                                            Yeah, makes no sense. Only 15 calls on 2GB RAM? Something seems wrong.
