If you put a small PBX at the customer’s site rather than centralized, the
Grandstream UCM series with Grandstream IP phones make it pretty easy. You can
create global and model templates, then to add a phone you basically tell the
PBX the MAC address, extension number, and person’s name, then plug in the
phone and the PBX pushes the config out to the phone.

Really looking for a platform that has as close to zero phone config as
possible. Easy management, hopefully someone to do all the 911 and so forth as
that was a pain last time. The ability to copy phone configs would be nice.

Before I ever saw a Yealink phone I thought they would be super terrible
and cheesy, given how weird the name is.
Then I bought a SIP-T22P for $60 to test out and was pleasantly surprised.
The http setup interface is quite full featured and the phones are very easy to
use with Asterisk/FreePBX.
If you don't care about color screens and fancy features like pairing with
bluetooth headsets, Yealinks can be found for $55-65 each... My main phone is
now a SIP-T28P.
My only complaint about them is that they are not as heavy as they should
be, and change positions on a desk, which can be fixed by supergluing some
steel or lead weights into the hollow parts of the snap-on 45 degree angle desk
stand.

I’ve got 41 freepbx instances running on a VM host. The challenge is
keeping up with the security updates.
I’m moving to iPiFony right now so I have less to manage.

I am considering getting back into this business in 6 more months and
am wondering what all are using. I still really like IPiFony but I don't think
I need that much hand holding now. Have been looking at FreePBX and a few
others. Since this group is full of opinions, lets have some. I know many use
Netsapiens and I even respect some of them ;)
