The cost of a business VoIP phone system varies depending on the number of users, features required, and whether you need new handsets. However, VoIP is almost always significantly cheaper than traditional phone systems.
Typical UK business VoIP pricing:
- Hosted VoIP per user: £8–20 per user per month, depending on the feature package
- IP desk phones: £50–300 per handset (one-off cost). Popular models include Yealink T-series phones
- Softphone apps: usually included free – turn any laptop or mobile into a business phone
- Number porting: typically free or a small one-off charge to transfer your existing numbers
- Call costs: most packages include unlimited UK landline and mobile calls
Cost comparison – VoIP vs traditional phone lines:
- ISDN line rental: £25–35 per channel per month + call charges
- Hosted VoIP: £8–20 per user per month with calls included
- Typical saving: 30–60% reduction in monthly telephony costs
Hidden savings to consider: no maintenance contracts, no engineer call-out fees, no hardware depreciation, and reduced costs for multi-site businesses as all locations connect through one system.
