20 Best Voip Phones For Home (Jan 2023 Update)

Brilliant bit of kit with first class sound quality and easy to set up plus a vast range of features. Far exceeded expectations so we bought 2 more!tactico-eu

Yealink it’s the best IP phone in the market, my customer is really happy and the provision with option 66 is really great! Don’t forget to change the option 66 name in you DHCP to “yealink”M.E.L.(.H.

Good material. But i don't know why it does not work in my office, under the same configuration with in home? Pity for it.E.

Loved the quick fulfillment by B&H. Not their fault the handset had a dead mic. Ooma support was friendly and shipped a replacement handset, but not so quickly; this proved to be normal for them. We were hoping to use Ooma to replace the absurdly expensive, minimal landline service, and hoped to use the two-call capability to reduce the drain on my wife's cell minutes (she's been working at home since COVID spring and expects to remain a mostly-remote worker now). And that's going to work out, now that she has a DP1-T deskphone and a third party headset to allow hands-free use without speaker phone legibility issues. This was where I most often tripped over Ooma's documentation issues, with clearly outdated printed manuals and poorly organized and incomplete online documentation. Granted, aside from the dead mic, none of these issues would have been an issue, or maybe even noticed at all, if our goal had simply been a nice wireless home phone replacement. So in the end… well, near the end… I'm happy with the Ooma gear, less so with the effort expended to get here.Martin

We have used an Ooma telo (box)for 10 years and were very satisfied. When the Telo box died.., we ordered a new Telo with 3 phones. The phones are worst than horrible. Whatever you do DO NOT BUY the phones. We had to return the whole package because of the phones. We bought a new Telo box which seems to be working OK so far.. We also got three Panasonic phones and, so far, the are fine with the new Telo. AVOID OOMA PHONES (garbage..)William

I seldom buy any kind of technology item that I don’t run into some unforeseen problem and spend hours going through support for help. Ooma was a very pleasant surprise! The directions were simple, set up was easy and trouble free. My phone was set up in under five minutes. I was surprised to find the voice quality was superb, and the phone and all features work perfectly. Best of all, I’m going to save a ton of money from cancelling my other hard-line. As an bonus, the system I bought comes with a wireless handset and charger base. There are also lots of options for blocking unwanted calls. Great job Ooma! I highly recommend this system for anyone who wants an economical hardline to supplement their cell service. To be safe in emergencies you will need some kind of regular cell phone backup as Ooma will not work when your Internet connection is down. Ooma can also be connected to a cell hot spot if need be.sam

Ooma is probably the best VOIP phone service. The very reasonably priced package includes the base unit and handsets that take up very little real estate and are easy to set up. Call quality is great. I'm using the wireless option to connect the handsets and chose not to bother using my old telephones. I chose Ooma to replace my old reliable copper wire phone lines because I got fed up with my service provider raising prices once or twice a year, pushing $100 a month; to add insult to injury, my service provider was pushing their VOIP service for $46 a month plus cost of equipment. With Ooma I pay next to nothing. The only downside is if I lose power, I lose internet service and telephone, making me dependent on cell service. I've been using Ooma for a month now and and very pleased.Alfie

Bought this a day ago, but experience has been quite disappointing. The device loses wifi connection multiple times, although wifi is perfect with every other device in my house. The only solution ooma has is to reset my internet modem and router which they dont realized pretty much stalls work in my home. I did this a few times. In addition it is difficult to sync contacts as their new app has no instructions on their old website and the agent said he 'took care' of the issue by telling me to add a 'name' to one contact and do the same to my 200 other contacts. Did not expect this from a device we bought from a store like bestbuy. This was not a random internet purchase. Painful.Docman

Telephone staff @ Ooma were untruthful about startup and ongoing costs. I discovered the $40 porting fee and the extra yearly fee of $30 for Hawaii & Alaska only after buying the telo air with handsets for $146 with tax. $146+40 +30 = $216 start up cost. Ongoing monthly $7 for fees & taxes +2.50 comes to $9.50 a month which is reasonable. However I was getting it to keep my landline number for infrequent calls from relatives and could do that by pairing my panasonic wireless extension phones to a retired call phone with bluetooth and port the landline # to a Redpocket Mobile account for $8.25 a month and save the $216 start up costs so I returned the Ooma unit to Best Buy. Also if you live in HI or AK trying to activate is a pain and you will need call Ooma for help with it.doctorB

Good voice quality , easy access either from the keypad or from web GUI. Large color LCD screen. Abundant features including bluetooth headset. Grandstream support is helpful. I can open tickets for asking questions to get answers.hky6522

As a VOIP (voice over IP ) guy, I've used & installed hundreds of phones. The Grandstream GXP series are among my favorite, due to the ease of setup, generally good audio and build quality, as well as the price point for the features included. Let's begin with a few of the "plusses" for this phone. First, it's got up to 6 line capability, out of the box. AND a massive amount of control points, which can be configured individually as speed dial, BLF, specific functions – like direct transfer, etc), and the functionality is tremendous as a result. you can configure BLFs (an LED lights on it to let you know if your associate or colleague is on their phone, so you can harrass them when they get on or off), you can add a zillion speed-dials, and generally, you can do most anything you want with it, just shy of hiring help… The audio is generally crisp and clear – on par or better than many phones at 2x's the price point. The huge color display has several page options (you can get stock reports, localized weather, you can insert your own .jpg backgrounds, etc), so it looks great on a corporate desk.. The setup is pretty intuitive, and I can generally have one up and running out of the box within 60-90 seconds, assuming I know the credentials and have a computer handy (don't try to configure this phone without a computer on the same network – you'll spend forever!).. The web GUI for configuration is pretty straightforward, and rather similar to all the GXP series. The phone also sports dual gigabit ethernet jacks – so you can loop thru it to your PC, and you won't face a major performance hit! rather nice. That said, here's what I don't like about it. 1. my BIGGEST gripe is the headset jack. I've gone thru DOZENS of headsets, and have yet to find a single headphone which works with this device. I'm unsure if it was intentional, but it appears that either the gain structure is way off, or they've wired the RJ9 in a non-normal configuration. The GUI offers a switch for "Plantronics" headsets, but that doesn't help either. In fact, the only way I've ever gotten a headset to work was to plug it in the handset jack. This of course produces other erratic results, but the headset DOES actually work in that jack. IF you need a headset (wired headset), I'd skip this phone, for that very reason. (I'll update this if I ever get better results on this)…. 2. the phone book. Face it, unless you played an extra in Office Space, you really should not be using a phonebook directory on a single-use device like this. you should have your computer programed to dial your number for you, or you should be having them punched in as speed dials. The phonebook is ludicrous, and made even more so by the fact that Grandstream wastes several buttons for it. 3. the button layout.. there are three "hot buttons" – the handset, headset, and speakerphone. But they're NOT layed out together.. kinda dumb. minor annoyance, but let's just say, dumb…. 4 the handset cable spot. Another trivial but poorly engineered idea. Of course if nobody complains about it, Grandstream will never make it better.. but basically, they route the cable from under the phone, so it's quite often getting stuck under the edge and as a result, is causing the phone to tilt… pretty annoying, especially as something that could've been prevented….. All-in-all, it's not a bad phone.. and for the price (B.G.

Now I know these are mid-priced products, but they do the job well and are reliable. I should now, I have five of them in a small office environment. My only gripe is that it is a bit fiddly updating the firmware once the product stops being a current model. A thumbs up from me.cornucopia_nick

I like Ooma's solution as a good quality and low-cost solution.
However, I am not satisfied with their Subscription Service.

I'd just tried few times call forwarding feature in Ooma App settings and turned it off, then my account was upgraded from Basic level to Premier level automatically with higher monthly charge about $17.
When realized I have been charge several month wihout using this feature.

First complain – there is no clear notice for Subscription change agreement in the process.

Secondary – it is not easy to change it on Ooma website Account/Service page, it needs to call customer service to downgrade it.

I recommend you may need to watch out your payment history if any unexpected subscription charge if you are on autopay.Michael Wu

I kept the Bell copper wire phone until recently; but when I installed the Bell fibe 1,5 G, the phone was switched to VOIP. So I bought Ooma Telo, at least I would save the Bell fees. After a couple of month, I find that the call quality is borderline. Any call has a echo, delay in transmission, and often garbled talk superposed. My alarm system shows very often a warning related to the connection to the surveillance center. Several times the call was dropped without any reason or warning. I almost regret switching Ooma.dissapointed

I've had this unit for about 3 weeks. I previously had VOIP phone service through my cable company. I had high hopes for this phone service but unfortunately I've been disappointed. One disappointment is the voice quality. Some calls are okay but other calls are terrible. It's particularly annoying when the voice message is hard to understand. You can't just ask the party to repeat what they said. The other thing I don't like is that the ooma unit and your primary phone are located next to your router. My router is in a spare bedroom. I may have to buy a new phone with more handsets so I can add a phone in the kitchen and family room. Their sales pitch is that this phone system is superior to cable VOIP, but I prefer my old cable VOIP.MClaire

Easy hookup. Automatically upgrades to latest firmware version. Almost a plug-n-play device compared to when hooking up pbx phones. Advanced features for little or no more cost for than buying a yealink very basic ip phone. If placing in an office environment this phone is a must.geneseephoto

For the price and feature set. Seems like a good deal. Still playing with it to see what I can setup in my office. Wish the ringer volume was independently able to lockout. Instead it locks out the volume control for EVERYTHING. I'd give it a 5 if they'd fix that.G.

Nice phone great value but will not hook up to home phone line or magic jack. They fail to disclose that you need a cloud or PBX service for it to work then you need to get it programed. No phone tech support all thru email base 2 days to find out it wouldn't work.robert

Bought phone to suppliment current grandstream IP phone deployment. Price was excellent and the phones were clean and ready to be updated and installed upon delivery. I'd recommend it.dpnabrit

The Cisco 7841 has all the features needed by business departments, fully integrates with Call Manager, and is available at a very reasonsable price.Lee W

Vorab gesagt: Ich betreibe dieses Telefon an einer AVM Fritzbox 7490 ohne Probleme. Es ist wirklich sehr einfach an der Fritzbox einzurichten, allerdings sollte man sich mit der Materie VOIP-Telefonie etwas auskennen oder anderweitig IT-affin sein. Das Telefon ist kein "Plug-and-Play" an der Fritzbox! Es gibt mehrere gute Youtube-Videos zur Konfiguration von Yealink-Telefonen an der Fritzbox. Wenn man sich genau daran hält, ist die Inbetriebnahme eine Sache von wenigen Minuten. Am besten erst ein solches Video ansehen und das Telefon dann kaufen, wenn man wirklich alles verstanden hat. Ein wichtiger Kaufgrund war in meinem Fall, dass man mit diesem Telefon an der FritzBox Gespräche auch (intern) vermitteln kann, was nicht mit jedem IP-Telefon geht. Auch dieses muss dafür eigens konfiguriert werden, dann klappt es aber sehr gut. Das Yealink-Telefon richtet sich an professionelle Anwender und Firmen. D.h. 90% der vielen Möglichkeiten nutzt man zu Hause sicher nicht. Insofern gibt es für die FritzBox auch gute und günstigere Alternativen. Ein Netzteil war bei mir ebenfalls nicht dabei, muss also separat erworben werden, was den schon vergleichsweise hohen Preis nochmal relativiert. Die Klangqualität ist in beide Richtungen dank etlicher unterstützter Audio-Codecs sehr gut. Das Telefon und die Tasten haben eine gute Haptik und machen einen wertigen Eindruck. Die Benutzeroberfläche (sowohl Konfiguration als auch das Telefon selbst) steht u.a. auch in Deutsch zur Verfügung ist ist leicht umzustellen (ausgeliefert wurde meins in Englisch). Auch die Menüführung ist eigentlich selbsterklärend und kann an vielen Stellen auf die eigenen Bedürfnisse angepasst werden. Die Konfigurationsoberfläche ist übrigens webbasierend und wird per Browser bedient. Fazit: Ein gutes, jedoch vergleichbar teures IP-Telefon mit vielen Möglichkeiten, die der Heimanwender kaum ausschöpfen wird. Ich find's klasse – aber jemand ohne die geringste IT-Erfahrung wird seine Probleme bei der Einrichtung haben. Das ist nun wirklich kein Grund, das Telefon negativ zu bewerten, sondern eher ein Problem der eigenen Fähigkeiten. Die guten Video-Tutorials bei Youtube kann ich jedem nur ans Herz legen, insbesondere, wenn man ein solches Telefon an der FritzBox betreiben möchte.D.D.

This is a splendid phone. Works as advertised. Inbuilt bluetooth means it's cheaper than a T4 series with USB bluetooth dongle. Works well with a bluetooth headset. Lots of options. Update the firmware. But turn off the 'smart noise filtering' as it causes hold music to cut in and out which is very annoying. I encourage you to consider this phone as your next handset.antsmiester_p

We purchased for 2 of our 4 stores as they sold this as a phone and WI-FI combo package.
Wi-Fi being the key there.
They came to install a couple weeks later, got all our details for Wi-Fi and installed an internet box only. They specifically sold it to us as Wi-Fi and advertised as Wi-Fi. We have their papers that state this. When we called they pretty much said it’s our problem and we need to go buy a router. This is 100% not what the salesman or the installer stated, they sold us as Wi-Fi and installed as Wi-Fi.
This company does have cheaper phone service, but I would rather pay more than to deal with shady business practices.
It’s a shame, we would have let you in all the stores. Now your name is dirt to us.Colorful Vibes

I have gone through many different voice over IP providers. Have switched to OOMA and have been using it for over a year now. So far it has easily been the best VoIP service I've used. Others have complained about call clarity, but I have found the call clarity to be great. So much better than the others. In fact, people on the other end of the line noticed a big difference too. For my setup, I do not use the OOMA handset. I have mine hooked up to a wireless Panasonic phone set up and I ensure my internet and the OOMA are plugged into a battery backup (in case I lose power at the house). Haven't had any drops, can hear others loud and clear, and the Panasonic phones offer great range. For me, I have had very good success with the OOMA system.Brad

I love my new Ooma! The connection quality is amazing, even on the international calls (I checked Europe and South America). Actually, I loved their service so much that I opted for their international unlimited plan. The basic plan (3.95/month) includes a gazillion of features (e.g. call ID, call blocking, voicemail, voicemail to email etc). You can choose their premier option for roughly 10 bucks per month to get extra features such as call forwarding, multiple device ring, additional phone number, or a discount on the international bundles, to name a few. You can prepaid your minutes as well. You can access your Ooma account online (where you can change the settings, add bundles, check the call log, block numbers, create contacts etc) or in Ooma mobile app. The app also works as a VOIP app, which means you can make or answer calls using your mobile (wireless or WiFi). No more dragging your cordless phone around when you're in the backyard. For Ooma to work properly, you will need a good internet connection. The premier plan has an option for call forwarding when your internet is down. This way you will never miss a call. Or, you can plug your backup landline into Ooma. Ooma offers number porting, but be prepared to choose a new number if you live in a small town. Also, it seems Ooma is becoming more and more popular as some area codes are not available anymore. I could not get 519, but didn't mind 647. I found Ooma pleasant to the eye (and ear) and the customer service very helpful. So, if 3.95 for the unlimited Canada calling sounds good to you, you should get Ooma.at

Great phone. Unfortunately, my sip provider only allows one line at a time, and transfers are handled via touch tonw. I wonder if the phone can merge the two within the phone if I got a second from them. I know I can have multiple sip providers one per "line"/ appearance. 4 of which for this phone. I actually have this at home, and it's great to glance down and see the weather without grabbing my cell or turning on the tv in the morning.p.

Great price and functionality, power adapter included. The display is small and hard to read. Also, the ringer options are awful. Wish there were more BLF buttons.N.C.M.

I have purchased a number of the old GXP2170 models, but this new model is amazing. The display is so clear; the 40 programmable buttons are more than I can find a use for! The quaility is outstanding. Highly recommend. Only downside at the moment is the add on board is yet to be configurable via the zero config – but it'll come. And it too is amazing.KeithG55

I bought these phones on a whim without doing much research, but turns out they were designed to do exactly what I needed and I'm beyond happy with them. If you're after a nice affordable IP phone system, I recommend these.Reece

This is a great voip phone. The sound quality is much better than a traditional phone. The only issue is that if you need help setting it up the support is lacking. Polycom will send you to the forum to figure it out for yourself.garyrall

This VOIP phone is of good quality, and at an exceptional price. The phone will work on conventional VOIP SIP phone systems, and automatically to the OBITALK dial network. Can not be managed from the OBI Web dashboard, and Google Voice.ddem2607_rfkahxca
