We are in the process of organising an office move and will need to install a network telephone system. Nothing fancy, just a reception phone and eight desk phones with call transfer.


Prices and specs vary widely and I have no idea what system to go for, so thought I?d put it out there for anyone in ED who may have some idea which suppliers/systems etc might be worth checking out.

If you have a decent internet connection available (fibre preferable for that many users) then you could go for a PC based system like 3CX. It'll be less costly than installing a full PBX.


Each desk would need a network point though and you'd need to sign up for a VoIP account too.


Do you have a budget in mind? I can put you in touch with someone if you want to PM me.

Price is the primary consideration at the moment as our cash flow is tight because we are taking a 10 year lease on a new place after having been in a semi-serviced office so need to pay quite a lot out to get it ready.


I'd love more info and pointers as this is the first time I've had to consider these things.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
