... (a small church with about 6 employees). At this point in my research, the main thing that has struck me is that these plans are much more expensive than I would have thought.
The church currently has PBX system (from Comcast, I believe) that has broken ... current monthly phone bill is around $520 ...
... The problem is that the church currently has phones scattered around the campus. Some are used in classrooms and are mostly there in case of emergency situations. I've been told that they want to keep these phones in use. That would bring the total number of phones up to at least 20,..
Need more info on the requirements.
What exactly are all these distributed 'phones'? Are these single line telephone sets or phone stations with multiple lines, ability to call other 'extensions', and other
business phone features?
Is the desired solution to utilize a small handful of 'phone lines' to make outbound and receive inbound calls, and also allow the various phone locations to call each other like internal extensions?
Do you need to control inbound call routing, such as ring a different phone location if the first one is busy or no answer?
How is the campus currently wired for telephone? Does all the phone wiring route back to a central wiring panel, or a very few wiring panels in different buildings?
Do these same buildings interconnect via Ethernet, with reasonable excess bandwidth?
