Guys i have a business premeses with 1 telstra phonee line and 4 ISDN ( Digital ) lines , and a telstra fax /adsl line .
The cost of this and the four mobiles is astronomical.

I have spoken to a few VOIP providers who tell me I can have a "pabx" with a GSM attachment which uses the one telstra line and gives me 4 other (voip) lines for $50 month (plus Telstra line Rental) 450 free calls a month national , calls to mobile at 18 cents a min , cheap international about $1: 19 per min to the majority and calls from our fleet mobiles out thru the pabx as free and calls to our fleet mobiles free .

Does any one who has a business using voip have cheaper hardware as the PABX is $1200, The gsm module is $1800 and the hot keyable handsets $ 200 each

Appreciate any comments

Cheers,

Ramp

Wow - not cheap.

You could easily do it yourself for a fraction of the cost (checkout Linksys SPA9000). You might want to try - I'm sure they'll beat those prices by far ;-)

You can probably use your current PABX

There’s a very good post here..>>

In addition you can get Optus latest 99$ fixed price deal. 1 x PSDN + 20GB ADSL2 + unlimited calls anywhere including GSM caped at $99.- No more to pay, excluding overseas 1300 and 13

how good are you with computers?

Have a look at trixbox

Ive got one setup at home and we have three seperete business's all running off it with different lines (voip/pstn), works without a hich.

Mind you it took a fair bit of effort at the start getting it all running, but well worth it. Our phone bill has come down to about 3/10's of what it used to be.

Thanks for in put everybody we are getting somewhere now

subject to optus fair use policy,
which means, you only have 1500 minutes of free calls, above that, they send you a letter, saying you have gone over your limit
go over it again, and they charge astronomically above the 1500 and then you lose your free calls

i know, i have had a letter in the mail with optus yes time...(2700 minutes in a month)

You could just search ebay for a VoIP ATA.
Plug in a network cable and a phone or fax into the phone socket on it.
Configure the ATA vai the web interface and away it goes. They can run for years - no ongoing maintenance required.
Each ATA would want it's own SIP account with someone like Engin (or even your ISP if they offer VoIP).
Engin is about $10 a month per line + calls

we use 2 asterisk servers 1 syd 1 on the north coast
with 9 1300 lines and 4 pstn lines and 3 fax lines all into 2 boxes
6 staff in melb syd and bris
and it works sweet the rule old rule of thumb is good line speed each of our pbxservers
has its own 8 meg adsl line
when a call comes in it rings in three states so who ever picks it up can talk then transfer to any other extension
and its all open source
