6 lines, consider voip?

[SeanComm]

I'm helping set up a new cics system in a small office that opens in a month. They are asking my opinion on how to order & set up the lines from Verizon.

They plan to start with 4 lines, and increase to 7 or 8 in a few months. I was considering 2 pots (main incoming & fax) and the rest voip. Have many folks set up businesses with voip and been happy? I use vonage for a number at my office and have been pleased.

If we do go the voip route for 2-4 lines, are there any voip hardware adapters that have more than 2 lines? or do you just buy multiple voip adapters?

I've read about sipphone, vonage, and a few others. For 4+ lines, is there one that seems to work well for business?

Thank you very much. Sean

I had a customer who had great luck with it for a year or so then it all went south.

suddnley the lines become basicly unusable , we changed isp's , modems etc. no improvment finally had to go back to verizon for "real phone lines "

glad I didnt recommend it .

I wouldnt want to recommend it to a customer
