Indy Business: Best Business Phone
Over our 10-plus years providing phone service, we have used and recommended a ton of business phones. We can safely say the current best business phone for most people is the Grandstream GXP2130. It has a professional look and feel, comes with all the features a modern business needs, works as well or better than more expensive options, and can be used with most VoIP phone service.
Look and feel.
The GXP2130 has a solid construction and feels nice in the hand, like many desk phones available today. Where the GXP2130 really stands out, though, is its color screen and intuitive interface. We wish the screen was a touch screen; but for under $70, it is hard to complain about a button-operated screen. Plus the buttons around the screen are all placed well and the screen changes to clearly show their function at all times.
All other buttons are labeled with helpful icons that show what they do. The call transfer button shows a phone pointing to another phone. The do-not-disturb button shows a microphone with a line through it. The hold call button shows a pause symbol, etc. We’ve also found these icons to be easier to learn and recognize at a glance than text labels like other brands use.
Features.
Like most SIP desk phones, the GXP2130 is completely customizable, but the majority of users will never need to customize them. From the moment they are provisioned, local time and weather displays on the screen, and the default buttons are programmed to work out of the box. The only unclear settings that users may wish to set are two SIP security options which will eliminate any phantom call issues. Those settings can be found by following these instructions.
Try before you buy.
We doubt you’ll have any issues with the Grandstream GXP2130, but please feel free to contact us or give us a call if you’d like to try them before buying. We offer free trials of our recommended phone hardware and phone service because we’ve seen how much customers appreciate it.
Thanks for reading our thoughts and have a great day!
