      Yealink T42S

      The SIP-T21P is likely more in the price range he'll be able to afford once this comes through.

      Only $46.99

      Those are the old model. While not EOL yet, most of the rest of that design has been EOL.

      The current base model is the T40G, IMO. There is a T19P-E2 for a single line, no button phone.

      The T41S is the non-gigbit version of the T42S.

        Moving to an alternative system whole sale would be a minimum of $100/phone - $12,200 + power bricks or POE switches for buildings 1(2 switches at $850/ea) and 3 (1 switch at $400).

        That $100 would get you a Yealink T42S + power brick, easily. That is Amazon pricing. You can likely find lower cost by getting into distribution channels.

        Yeah, T42S comes with the power brick for under $100! All in one box.

        I know of no T4 series phone sthat ship with a power brick.

        Telephony Depot has this. I created an account with them ages ago for a client. It does seem they only want resellers now though. So /shrug.

        We get them from PCM with the bricks included. @ysapir

        Are they adding it 3rd party (themselves)? I have never seen a SKU from Yealink that includes the power brick.
        Yeah, I'm not in distribution, but still.

          The biggest issue most businesses have is the "but I have phones already, can't we just use it"?

          So I'd imagine you'll have a battle to get that $12,200

          No - the sunk cost thing really isn't the issue this time.

          I have to spend $10K to update my old shit - or spent $14,300'ish to get all new...

            There is not an afford thing here. The doctors likely wouldn't want us to use the shittiest little phones... spending more is OK... $100/phone would be pretty easy spend.

              No, it's just part of the SKU.

                  And that's if you need high end phones. If you are coming from digital phones, you might not want to go so nice.

                  Our digital phones are crazy with buttons.. granted we don't use/need them... but moving to a phone that is super stark in comparison would be a moral killer - there is at least a tiny bit of value in that.

                    BUT they are okay with embarrassingly old shitty phones now. So that makes no sense. By that logic, they'd go to full VoIP right now for that very reason alone.

                        I really don't want power bricks - and I'm not sure that would be acceptable anyhow.

                        Which brings up another question - which phones must work during a power outage? Currently they ALL work because they are on UPS for POE/VOIP phones, or UPS on the digital system - at least as long as the battery is good - about 20 mins.

                        So the business could decide a smaller UPS and specific phones - or everything goes POE.

                            Or you get a softphone and install that on everyone's mobile.

                            Would work without power directly attached to the phone.

                              As just noted - I'd also need more UPS to cover power outage times - even if only for dedicated phones.

                                Correct. It is simply a business call. Granted it is not a huge cost difference to get poe switches compare to power bricks when not included. And since you will certainly have many on UPS for survivability, the cost difference isn’t even very import because you need the PoE anyway.

                                  The biggest issue most businesses have is the "but I have phones already, can't we just use it"?

                                  So I'd imagine you'll have a battle to get that $12,200

                                  No - the sunk cost thing really isn't the issue this time.

                                  I have to spend $10K to update my old shit - or spent $14,300'ish to get all new...

                                  Is $14,300 realistic? What's generating the last bit over the handsets, the gateways?

                                  The POE switches.
                                  As just noted - I'd also need more UPS to cover power outage times - even if only for dedicated phones.

                                  Not by much. . . AC 100~240V input and DC 5V/2A output per phone.

                                    of course I don't have the SIP to analog convertors in that price for the fax machines, so there's another $600 or so. what else?

                                      Moving to an alternative system whole sale would be a minimum of $100/phone - $12,200 + power bricks or POE switches for buildings 1(2 switches at $850/ea) and 3 (1 switch at $400).

                                      That $100 would get you a Yealink T42S + power brick, easily. That is Amazon pricing. You can likely find lower cost by getting into distribution channels.

                                      Yeah, T42S comes with the power brick for under $100! All in one box.

                                      I know of no T4 series phone sthat ship with a power brick.

                                      Telephony Depot has this. I created an account with them ages ago for a client. It does seem they only want resellers now though. So /shrug.

                                      I really don't want power bricks - and I'm not sure that would be acceptable anyhow.

                                      Which brings up another question - which phones must work during a power outage? Currently they ALL work because they are on UPS for POE/VOIP phones, or UPS on the digital system - at least as long as the battery is good - about 20 mins.

                                      So the business could decide a smaller UPS and specific phones - or everything goes POE.

                                      Or you get a softphone and install that on everyone's mobile.

                                      Would work without power directly attached to the phone.

                                      HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

                                        I'd just go to a hosted fax service like HelloFax. Move all of the lines there and setup the mailbox to send directly to an employee (or a distribution list) so it can be printed.

                                          Correct. It is simply a business call. Granted it is not a huge cost difference to get poe switches compare to power bricks when not included. And since you will certainly have many on UPS for survivability, the cost difference isn’t even very import because you need the PoE anyway.

                                          this is my thinking.
                                          To the point I don't know that I'd even ask the business - I'd just make the decision myself.
                                          POE for all. done.

                                            have you priced that service at 21,000 pages a month? the last several HIPAA compliant ones I looked at were all over $700/month. Compared to today I pay $80/m for two fax lines.

                                            Plus, this doesn't cover outgoing faxes. - I mean it could - but damn.. user's don't train well if at all.
