Transition from analog to VoiP telephony: which is better gateway or new devices?

Question

Telephony

Hello. We want to transfer a small office (23 subscribers) from analog to Voip telephony. We want to take the gateway on 24 ports. Or is it better to buy new SIP phones?

Answer 1

With analog phones, analog PBXs work much better.
When operating through a gateway, analog phones will not have caller identification. It may be difficult to set up advanced features such as call hold, call waiting (second line).
I would recommend buying as long as the budget of SIP-devices lasts, for the rest to install softphones and issue headsets.
If implemented correctly, the authorities will quickly understand the problem and find money for universal telephone installation.

Answer 2

If the budget allows, I would take sip phones, if not - eltex gateway(s).

Answer 3

Thanks to all! We forked out for new SIP-devices.
