“Joe Campbell is an exceptional guy. We have used him for CCTV, phone systems and internet/wifi set up, and I couldn't recommend him highly enough. He makes life a whole lot easier for us non techy folks!”
“How much does a business phone system cost?” is the first question most businesses ask — and the honest answer is: it depends. Rather than quote a made-up figure, here’s a plain-English guide to what actually affects the price, so you know what you’re paying for. When you’re ready, we’ll give you a clear, no-obligation quote tailored to your business.
What affects the cost
- Number of users — how many people need to make and take calls
- Handsets vs apps — desk phones are a one-off cost; softphone/mobile apps often aren’t
- Features you need — call recording, menus, reporting and integrations can add to it
- Your lines — VoIP phone lines, a Cloud PBX or SIP trunks for an existing system
- Installation and number porting — usually a one-off setup cost
- Support — ongoing local support so the system keeps working for you
Typically, you’ll see two parts
Most business phone systems are made up of a one-off setup cost (installation, handsets, number porting and configuration) and a predictable monthly cost per user for the lines and features. Moving to VoIP usually reduces the monthly cost compared with old-style lines and line rental — often noticeably.
How to get an accurate price
The quickest way to a real number is a five-minute conversation. We’ll ask how many people you have, how you handle calls today and what’s not working — then recommend the right business phone system and give you a clear quote with no obligation and no hard sell.
