Ubiquiti VOIP phone systems
-
So I'm getting some pricing together for a new phone system, and just realized that Ubiquiti also has their own line of phones and support for them with the controller.
Has anyone used one of these systems in their recent experience?
Pretty sharp looking phones with some impressive options.
-
They are Android based IIRC. They look sharp and the pricing isn't bad. I think @scottalanmiller had gotten one to test with previously?

I bought one to test with, and another colleague is using it now. The UVP phone looks great, and has the ability to install anything Android. The speaker phone is terrible though. IMO, it's more of an eye candy phone.

@fuznutz04 Thank you for the feedback.
-
@fuznutz04 Do you think it was because of the mono speaker or just in general the underlying hardware?
Have you tried the executive version of the phone with stereo sound?

If you decide not to "spin" up a vm & go the 3CX/FreePBX route, have you looked at the Grandstream lineup of UCM PBX and GXP phones?

I haven't, but I will now. Anyone able to comment on them?

Yeah I think he did but didn't like them. Scott prefers Sangoma and Snom if I remember correctly.

They work great!
The only problem, it's all built to take advantage of Grandstream only products with features like auto-discovery of the phones.You can also add Grandstream IP cameras, IP door stations, video conferencing etc.
-
@FATeknollogee Well that's a big suck.

I have not tested a grandstream phone in 5 years. But they all sucked, across the board. Enough so, that I have not invested any more time in seeing if it has ever changed.
They work. Lots of people use them because they are the cheapest.
That is all I will say about grandstream phones.

@JaredBusch Thank you for the feedback.

Yeah I think he did but didn't like them. Scott prefers Sangoma and Snom if I remember correctly.
@scottalanmiller has never used a Sangoma phone. Neither have I.
They are on my list to get one purchased for comparisons.
They cost more than comparable Yealink models.
They look almost identical to Yealink.
-
Snom is a decent phone for price and quality, but they lack in features.

Yealink is definitely another. I think I remember Scott saying buying Sangoma phones supports FreePBX, maybe not even related to the quality of the phone.

Totally disagree, 5 years ago, yes they sucked. Today, completely different product.
They aren't the cheapest phones.
I use them & they work. -

FreePBX is Asterisk. Anything that runs on SIP can, for the most part, connect to an Asterisk phone server.

Yealink hits the awesome sauce point of great price and quality like Snom, but also have more features and flexibility.

I use them & they work.But 5 years ago Yealink was good, and has only gotten better.
Also 5 years ago Snom was good and has stayed about the same.For what should I look at Grandstream when they sucked so bad.

Polycom phones are good quality and features but higher cost.
The Sangoma phones match this line pretty close with cost, features, and quality (from spec sheets as I have not used one yet).
