    Voip options for new setup

    So, I have an auto shop company that is paying $250/mo for a old analog telephony pbx connected with a spectrum voip phone system and 5 phones, that are from 2015, and two have died thus far

    In 2010 I ran trixbox at a (very small) pc repair company I worked for and it's not updated anymore. I so I have...a little exp with asterisk based voip

    Should I mess with asterisk on linux, or get a hosted voip like 3CX?

    They don't do much advanced stuff, but even with hosted 3CX it can run ~300/yr, which is significant savings and I don't have to be the support person if things screw up. I'm not terribly good with linux, Asterisk directly even less. Oh wait, I see Freepbx. Still, I need some help since I did this last 13 years ago

    I also heard appliance voip might be a solution as well, like Grandstream 6300 series

    I use Grandstream and have good success with these. So far these had the least amount of problems. The POLY VOIP phones are hit and miss. Have some that are really good and others that are garbage. Specifically the Poly VVX-250.

      Which GS do you have? I heard the 6200 series are problematic but the 6300 are actually very good

        What is problematic on the 6200? Maybe I am living in between to many sticks. I also got an Avaya VOIP system. I had no problems with these two. However these POLY VVX-250 like to make buzzing noises, don't wanna power up on POE sometimes and you got to trick them back into working again, etc. The POLY VVX-350 is fine as kind. Go figure… lol

          "So far these had the least amount of problems". What problems did you have?
