Beginning July 2015, Invoxia NVX 620 and NVX 220 VoIP phone systems will be made available to all VoIP Supply customers
Invoxia, a French based VoIP solutions company, has announced the arrival of itâs newest VoIP SIP Phones into the U.S. market – the Invoxia NVX 620 and the Invoxia NVX 220 – both of which have the capability of being both a desktop phone and a conference unit while using  Apple and Android devices as a control interface.
Compatible with both iPhone (including the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models) and Android devices, the NVX 620 transforms the modern desk phone into a fully BYOD capable communications device. Accommodating not only cellular devices, but also iPads and Android based tablets, and even iPods, the NVX 620 provides users in all areas of business with the convenience of being able to communicate at the highest, most efficient, and reliable form possible.
      
By simply downloading the Invoxia App to a smartphone or tablet, you can dial out, access your deviceâs directory and even answer calls just by placing your compatible iPhone, iPad or Android device in the NVX 220âs mobile port.
The demand for BYOD compatible communications systems has been met with the smooth, sleek, and smart design of the Invoxia NVX 220. With the NVX 220, you are able to transfer your communication method from headset to hands free by simply touching the volume button, while also charging your smartphone or tablet – even while it is in use.
The Invoxia NVX 220 allows a user to choose between utilizing their mobile or SIP capabilities when placing a call and also raises the bar in VoIP phone audio quality by providing HD sound and voice.

In many office/business settings you need the option for a cordless phone. It helps to have something to carry around with you if youâre not at your or need to walk away for a minute. Yealink thought of that for you to with the W52P cordless DECT Phone Bundle.
Some of the features include:
We can forget about the high call volume desk work and the executives of the building also. This is when you would deploy the Yealink T29G. This phone looks and acts top of the line for an executive and handle a high volume of calls.
Some of the features include:
The last room that is sometimes forgotten is the conference room. When you use this room a lot you shouldnât go with just another desk phone. You wouldn’t take a corvette off roading. For a conference room you should go with the Yealink CP860 . It has great range and the ability to add expansion microphones with the Yealink CPE80.
Some of the features include:
VoIP Supply is very excited to bring you the new snom DECT phone solution. These snom products are priced fair and can be deployed in a small office to a larger office with multiple floors. Here are the new products being offered.

Grandstream Networks has released a new VoIP Phone line with the unveiling of the GXP16xx Series. The new line of IP Phones include the GXP1610, GXP1620 and the GXP1625.
I could sit here and bore you with all the speeds and feeds of these new VoIP phones, but thatâs not the way to go for these new models.
Itâs simple with these phones. They are priced great, great quality and can be auto-configured on a Grandstream appliance. They also work great with the major VoIP software providers.
Here is a brief breakdown of the (3) new models:
There are many more features and add-ons available for the price savvy Grandstream phones. Please call in to our educated staff here and dive deeper into these phones and other models by Grandstream at 800.398.VoIP.
On Enterprise-level phone systems like Avaya, Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent, when a new extension or user is added to the system, an entry is automatically created in the internal phonebook and thus, pushed to the phones.
While working with Elastix, I noticed that under Agenda>Address Book extensions showed up there after creation. All, except virtual extensions. After some google searches, I ran across a post about the Elastix Address Book and Grandstream phones. Personally, since I really like the Grandstream GXP-series phones, I was more than willing to give this a try. Â I read through the article and figured I would test this out in the lab. First thing I found; the links to download the scripts were dead. I added a post on the site to let the author know and he corrected the issue. The links now work properly.
Place the script in  /var/www/html on your Elastix or FreePBX-Distro server. I tested this on Elastix 2.5 and FreePBX 6.12.65 successfully. I tested this successfully on Grandstream GXP-series phones with the exception of the GXP-2200 which is Android based so it did not work properly. I tested the following specifically:
GXP-1160/1165, GXP-1400/1405, GXP-2130, GXP-2140, GXP-2160. I even tested on an old GXP-2000. I also tested on a GXV-3240 and it did not go well as 10 entries became 101 upon download. My solution was to export from one of the GXP phones and then import into the GXV-3240.
Once you have installed the script and have updated your phones to download the script automatically, even virtual extensions like general mailboxes will appear in the phonebook. Here is the link:Â http://ethertubes.com/grandstream-phone-book-creator-for-elastix/. The scripts as well as instructions can be found there. The author also references a script he has written to have the Grandstream phones pull the phonebook config automatically. I did not use this as it took only a few seconds per phone to set this manually from within each phones web interface. I will be testing the FreePBX Commercial Endpoint Manager module for the next few weeks, and my hope is that I can add this entry into the config file I push to the phones. This would then completely automate the process.
Go ahead and give it a try yourself.
Since the dawn of the age of the 1930 Baird Televisor – well maybe not that long ago, but at least since the early 2000âs, there seems to be a stigma surrounding purchasing refurbished technology. As a business owner, you may think to yourself, âWhy would I invest in ârefurbishedâ anything, no less technology? Wonât my ROI be greater when I purchase new?â
I can honestly admit that I am totally guilty of turning my nose up to refurbished phone systems, monitors, tablets, CPUs, etc⊠ but it wasnât until I understood the reality, quality, and cost-effectiveness of buying refurbished that my boss, and my wallet began to thank me.
Letâs take a quick look at why refurbished or âRefreshedâ technology is the way to go:
Believe it or not folks, the term ârefurbishedâ doesnât mean âusedâ. A refurbished product is simply a product that has been returned to the manufacturer for one of several reasons; some of which may be that:
The product was a floor model at a retail location. So it has some finger prints on it? Big deal.
The product was unused, but returned by the purchaser. Donât tell me youâve never returned an item that you just didnât like when you got it home.
The item has a minor internal defect or part missing upon arrival. If a product is labeled as Certified or has a Warranty, it has typically gone through a thorough inspection process and has been brought back to near âbrand-newâ standards – itâs just been handled by two or more people in the process.
The average cost savings for a consumer when they buy a refurbished product is on average around 15-30%. So this could take, letâs say, a $5,000 office phone system upgrade and possibly knock it down to only $3,500. Thatâs $1,500 dollars back in your pocket… or maybe for a new pool table in your employee lounge. The bottom line is that if youâre on a budget, in which most successful businesses are, saving money is key – and that will be totally accomplished when going down the path of purchasing refurbished products.
Not all items are refurbished equally. Be leary of items that do not offer warranties, return policies or are stated in âas isâ condition. You want to know that your product will work when it arrives, and if not, you can get a new one.
KEY TAKE AWAY: Purchase wisely and donât let silly stigmas or ideas prevent you from saving money.
Stay savvy my friends.
