Simple VOIP setup

How many phones? Existing pbx at one or both?

The simplest example would be two PC running linux and asterisk

For the phones, each PC used with

ATA are around $80-$120 A card with 4 FXS is around $320 (to plug in 4 regular phones) SIP Phones cost between $60-500 with a decent business phone at around $200

Then there's the cost of PC and software setup and voIP services if needed.

Start here:

The simplest solution is to use a software peer-to-peer application between the two offices. Two PC headsets or handsets, and you're in business with

If you want to interact with regular telephones, a simple Vonage (or similar account) with an added softphone for the second location would do. (the softphone has 500 outgoing minutes) Calls between the two accounts would not be counted.

There are a lot of free peer-to-peer apps out there. Most offer prepaid minutes for calling regular phones at low rates.

Hi, The best solutions is to go for Asterisk based IPPBX so that you can get all PBX features with IP and many more features.
