      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.

      The answer depends on how many phones you want working.

      Normal draw is less than 5W per phone.

      Here is a switch 100% used

          You mentioned getting more UPS power. SO not really. It is a math question.

            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.

            That's a good option.

            To do this we would be required to give everybody a stipend to pay for their cell phones. This would also mean that everyone has to have a cell phone. This would not work for the way that much of our call routing works.

            Only for those that want them. It's free and costs them nothing. So no stipend needed.

            Yeah there is no stipend to pay at all. Since you have WiFi and everyone is reasonably expected to have WiFi in their lives that is free to use.

            So there is no added cost that the employee would foot, so there is no added cost to pay out.

              There are good reasons to go both ways. We find bricks to be better more often than not.

              The lack of a need to plug another device in to a desk in an office is a large benefit actually.

              This one is actually pretty huge. We already have laptops and small desktop printers and label makers and other medical equipment plugged in. We have a power outlet shortage

              So you've never heard of power strips?

                  Our management and users don’t see it that way. Today it’s requires to provide your own works clothes, but not cell phones.... you want them to have to use one, then you provide or pay... but as scott said only those who want it... ok those few could have it, but it wouldn’t affect the number of phones we would need

                    You could also opt to purchase a few $25 poe injectors for the few phones that are required to have power all of the time and feed that from your UPS.

                        The cost difference for Poe switch vs non is 400$.... over 48 phones that’s less tha $10 ea

                        Let’s move on from POE

                          Just because you can also have a physical desk phone and a softphone on their mobile doesn't mean you're limited.

                            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.

                            That's a good option.

                            To do this we would be required to give everybody a stipend to pay for their cell phones. This would also mean that everyone has to have a cell phone. This would not work for the way that much of our call routing works.

                            Only for those that want them. It's free and costs them nothing. So no stipend needed.

                            Yeah there is no stipend to pay at all. Since you have WiFi and everyone is reasonably expected to have WiFi in their lives that is free to use.

                            Our management and users don’t see it that way. Today it’s requires to provide your own works clothes, but not cell phones.... you want them to have to use one, then you provide or pay... but as scott said only those who want it... ok those few could have it, but it wouldn’t affect the number of phones we would need

                            A softphone on their computer is still a phone.

                            Just because you can also have a physical desk phone and a softphone on their mobile doesn't mean you're limited.

                            The whole point of using soft bones was to get rid of the expense of having a desk phone

                                Actually I take that back. It was a way to solve the power problem.
                                Even if that was a terrible situation, it would only be used in emergency situations I suppose that could work. But the reality is we wouldn’t ever bother doing it. We would just pull out the phones of the admin staff.

                                  No we need 122 Hard phones.
                                  We might be able to add another hundred soft phones that would hardly ever been used.

                                      well - really, it's one of HR - but they have basically said they will never fix that one.

                                        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.
                                        94e3104e-9fc7-4739-8295-6dabd015d299-image.png

                                        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.

                                        That's a good option.

                                        To do this we would be required to give everybody a stipend to pay for their cell phones. This would also mean that everyone has to have a cell phone. This would not work for the way that much of our call routing works.

                                        Only for those that want them. It's free and costs them nothing. So no stipend needed.

                                        Yeah there is no stipend to pay at all. Since you have WiFi and everyone is reasonably expected to have WiFi in their lives that is free to use.

                                        So there is no added cost that the employee would foot, so there is no added cost to pay out.

                                        Our management and users don’t see it that way. Today it’s requires to provide your own works clothes, but not cell phones.... you want them to have to use one, then you provide or pay... but as scott said only those who want it... ok those few could have it, but it wouldn’t affect the number of phones we would need

                                        A softphone on their computer is still a phone.

                                        Just because you can also have a physical desk phone and a softphone on their mobile doesn't mean you're limited.

                                        The whole point of using soft bones was to get rid of the expense of having a desk phone

                                        But you just said you needed a phone. meaning physical phones in those locations.

                                        So are you okay with maybe 100 softphones and only 20 desk phones?

                                        No we need 122 Hard phones.
                                        We might be able to add another hundred soft phones that would hardly ever been used.
                                        The problem was solved phones is the routing problems of our calll flow situation

                                        OK - totally bad voice to text there - bad siri! BAD!

                                        We have many work flows that rely on a physical location, not a person. 70% of staff work in these rotating positions, so there is not very much use in assigning something to this 70%. Providing them with a softphone, while still having the hardphone I suppose could possibly add some funcationality, but that seems pretty unlikely.

                                        The biggest place that softphones would be useful is providers themselves. The staff could then possibly just call the providers extension - and locate them where ever they are. Frankly I think the providers will like this idea at first - the quickly tire of being so easily found and turn it off.

                                          There are good reasons to go both ways. We find bricks to be better more often than not.

                                          The lack of a need to plug another device in to a desk in an office is a large benefit actually.

                                          Can be, certainly. I hate those wall warts, but often we find them to be out of the way and save money and effort over revamping the back end.

                                            That's a different issue and not part of the cost of it. that they WANT an excuse to pay for things, fine. But it's not part of the decision cost.
