The Cost of a Traditional Third-Party Business Phone - Nextiva

[rifat28dddd]

The first kind, with all snaking copper wires, can cost an estimated $1,000 for a 3-person team, with hardware costs contributing about $690 (central PBX box for roughly $600 and a 3-line headset for some $90) and installation costs adding $405.

Plus, regular maintenance can quickly suck up about the same amount as installation costs.

The second kind, comparatively friendlier on your pocket and supportive of remote teams since you don’t need any hardware, costs around $1,184 per year for a 3-person team.

The last type, on-premise PBX, can take up some $1,000 per user in hardware and setup costs, totaling $3000 for a team of three.

But since we’re focused on small, scaling businesses, we know a VoIP phone would be a far better choice than the ultra-traditional options that don’t support remote teams and don’t offer any messaging or internal collaboration features (after all, they rely on desk phones from the 90s).

So that’s where we’re going to focus our numbers—starting namibia telegram data with a breakdown of what virtual business phone set-up costs from some of the well-known names in the market:

Business Phone Setup Costs for Small Businesses
(Annual cost estimates for a three-person team with two additional phone numbers)
Provider Annual Cost
Nextiva $1,583
OpenPhone $991

Nextiva
‎A basic business phone with Nextiva that sets up a team of three for calling within the US and Canada costs roughly $1,223 after you tally up:

$30 per user per month for their Core plan that allows inbound and outbound calling, 100 monthly SMS per user, and call routing to the main menu
$100, a rough estimate of their CRM integration setup and implementation (not including usage costs—yep, those are separate)
$19 one-time, mandatory SMS registration fees with your cell carrier and The Campaign Registry (called A2P 10DLC registration) and an average monthly $2 messaging fees (the exact depends on your business classification)
But I hate to break it to you: this really is a conservative estimate.
