So you’ve obviously heard about this new VoIP craze, you may have even set yourself up with a nice new VoIP capable DrayTek modem and possibly a Naked DSL plan as well. All you really need now is a capable VoIP handset (or twelve) and I bet you’re wondering which is the best one out there? Well unfortunately I don’t have the answer to that just yet. But in the mean time, I’m going to attempt to answer one of the frequently ask questions here at warcom.

“What is the difference between the best-selling Linksys SPA VoIP phones?”

Before we go into the specifics, I’m going to simplify things a little by listing the standard features of all of these great VoIP phones including:

• Dual switched Ethernet ports
• 802.3af PoE
• A high resolution graphical LCD display
• Speakerphone
• 2.5mm head-set port

Now let’s start with the base Linksys SPA922. This one is a one line, two call appearance handset and is ideal for a residence or business using a hosted IP telephony service.

The Linksys SPA922 supports one line with two call appearances and provides support for three way conferencing, attended call transfer, and placing a call on hold to answer an incoming call. The line can be configured as a unique phone number (or extension), or can be configured to share a number that is assigned to multiple phones

Moving on to the Linksys SPA942. This one has two active lines and up to four call appearances with independent configuration and registration. This one is available at warcom and is our best-selling VoIP phone!

Extra features on the Linksys SPA942 include it’s two active lines and, with a simple software update, the Linksys SPA942 is upgradeable to a four line phone. Each line can be independently configured to use a unique phone number (or extension), or can be configured to use a shared number that is assigned to multiple phones.

Now to the range topping Linksys SPA962! This monster of a VoIP phone has six lines and a full colour display! This is a business class IP phone.

Extra features on the Linksys SPA962 include six active lines and a high resolution color LCD display. Again, each line can be independently configured to use a unique phone number (or extension), or can be configured to use a shared number that is assigned to multiple phones.

And last, and no means least — the Linksys SPA962!

The power supply for the SPAs is sold separately and will be required if PoE functionality is not implemented. Available at warcom, the PA100 power supply
