Why Business Phone System Costs Are Back in Focus

With rising operational costs and changing workplace setups, more and more businesses — from small firms to national organisations — are re-evaluating their telecoms.

The good news? There’s never been more flexibility, and some providers are even removing upfront costs entirely.

But to understand what’s right for your business, it helps to break down the numbers.

What Do Business Phone Systems Typically Cost?

The cost of a business phone system in 2025 depends on a few key factors:

1. Type of system (Traditional vs Cloud)

   • On-premise systems (like legacy PBXs) often come with high setup and hardware costs — sometimes thousands upfront.

   • Cloud phone systems (VoIP) are hosted online, usually charged per user, and can be set up remotely with minimal hardware.

2. Number of users
   Most providers charge per user per month, and prices vary depending on features.

3. Features and functionality
   Advanced features like call recording, auto-attendant menus, and mobile apps may come at an extra cost — unless bundled.

4. Installation and setup
   Some providers charge for onboarding, number porting, or engineer site visits. Others build this into your monthly fee — or waive it entirely.

5. Support levels
   Basic packages often include online-only support. If you want named account management or UK-based help, that’s usually a premium.

Hidden Costs to Watch Out For

Not all business phone system costs are obvious. Here are a few that often get missed:

• Line rental or SIP trunk charges

• Separate software licensing for apps and admin tools

• Long contract lock-ins that prevent flexibility

• Charges for number porting or feature changes mid-contract

Always ask for a full breakdown — and check what happens at the end of your initial term.

So, What’s a Good Deal in 2025?

A “good deal” isn’t just the cheapest price. It’s about value: what you get, how flexible it is, and whether the provider has your back.

Look for:

• Transparent pricing with no hidden fees

• Flexible contract options

• UK-based support you can actually reach

• A provider with proven long-term relationships and industry recognition
