Many companies avoid switching to VOIP phone systems because they dread the cost of replacing worthless (depreciated) traditional phones and handsets with “expensive” VOIP handsets. This is a big mistake for any company that is concerned about controlling its own costs.

While traditional handsets are badly depreciated, they are not worthless. Often, companies switching to a VOIP network can sell their old phones back to providers – lucent, Nortel, etc – for up to 50% of their brand-new value. But even if the handsets are completely depreciated, there is a strong case to be made for replacing them with VOIP phones.

A polycom voip phone is the best phone money can buy. Polycom is a company that pioneered voice enhancement in voip technology and as a pioneer in the business they have been able to offer competitive prices to adopters of VOIP solutions. Far from the myth that VOIP phones are a shadow of their conventional counterparts, Polycom phones offer all the traditional features – displays for caller ID, one-touch voicemail access, call forwarding, etc – in a foolproof interface that makes dolts with technology look like engineers. In other words, the phones are far easier to use than traditional phones because of 1) their large and clear displays 2) their easy-to-read and intuitively-placed buttons and 3) their overall ease of operation (i.e., an operation that takes 5 buttons on a traditional phone will take 1 or 2 on a polycom, thanks to easy-to-navigate on-screen menus.
