Tim Britton –
A massive step up from the old VVX410 I was using. The touch screen menu is easy to use and there is a mass of features, however I only really use a few of them. Call quality is very good, nice and clear with no echoes. Installation was straight forward and took not much time at all. It’s worth mentioning that these phones appear to be sold without a power supply unit as the manufacturer assumes you will have power over ethernet on your switch/system, so if you don’t have power over Ethernet you will need to buy a power supply to power the phone. Pricewise was cheapest I could find online, very pleased to have found Commswarehouse – their customer service was very good and the advisor I spoke to appeared to be very knowledgeable . Will be back to make more purchases in future.
