I have a quick question about communigates pbx features.  I’m looking at sip phones trying to decide what we should get here at my work and I’m still pretty new to sip terminology and features so maybe some of you could help me out.

 

We have 4 analog lines that will be coming into a Mediatrix 1204 4 Port FXO Gateway (Just Ordered) which will then be linked into communigate where communigate will handle call routing for extensions and lines (Correct Thinking?).  Now my question is this that I keep seeing on all the phones where they might have 6-12 soft keys that can be programmed but they all say 2,4,6 lines support.  Since I have 4 lines would I in turn need a 4 line phone or could a single line phone with softkeys be used aswell just programmed to pickup a certain line through communigate?

 

Next question is quality on these sip phones.  Anyone had experience with some of mid to higher end business grade phones, and know some that compare with traditional business phones?   I’m just afraid of ording a $200 dollar phone and sounding like I’m in a tunnel every time I use it.

 

I’ve been looking at the following:

 

Grandstream GXP-2020  (I know grandstream is usually pretty cheap in their lower end stuff, but was wondering if their enterprise class stuff was any better.)

Snom SNOM360

 

Thanks!
