A desk phone is the right answer for anyone who sits in the same chair all day and takes calls constantly, such as reception, a sales desk or a service line. It is also the most reliable VoIP device you can have, because the handset and the internet connection are in the same building and nothing else is in the way.
A softphone suits people who work from a laptop anyway, and it costs nothing to try. Its quality is the quality of the connection it is sitting on, which is excellent at a desk with fibre and less predictable on hotel wifi. That is not a criticism of the software; it is what running voice over the internet means.
A mobile is the odd one out, and the reason to have one in every team. It takes the call over the mobile network rather than the internet, so it keeps working when the office line does not, needs no app on somebody’s personal phone, and reaches people who are nowhere near a desk. Put one at the end of the ring order and most of the failure modes above stop mattering.
A setup that survives a bad day
-
At least one mobile in every team, last in the ring order
-
Desk phones where people sit still and call all day
-
Voicemail to email as the final fallback, always
-
A team made only of devices that need the internet
-
Ringing six devices at once, because someone always answers twice
If you are not sure, start with mobiles only. It costs nothing, it works everywhere, and you can add handsets once you know where the calls actually land.
