Google Voice

[bigstan48]

Has any migrated their telephone system into Google voice?

 

If not, would you?

 

Any advice would be welcome.

 

Thanks

See http://www.edugeek.net/forums/cloud-services/210113-any-schools-using-google-voice-similar.html. @rogerdnixon, did you go ahead with a live system after the trial?

No, per monthly costs are crazy, the whole point of a pbx is so you don't need to pay per user/extension. Phone systems are just a VM on your server now, dead cheap

Too expensive for us to contemplate at the moment unfortunately.

Logistically, we want a single number for people to call, internal extensions, and any external calls being made to be routed to appear through that number, rather than each line having it's own unique number.

 

If that were possible, and therefore the costs brought down significanly because each line didn't get it's own external number, then it's something we would consider.

 

But as it stands, it doesn't suit us.

Coming back to this, I read there are discounts available for Education. I know @rogerdnixon has gone Voice at his schools.

 

I've got some questions though, like can you set it so handsets dial out from your central autoattendant number, for example?
