Free IP handsets for UK small businesses using VoIP thanks to Cloudnet
Cloudnet saves small companies from £70 - £200 per handset to encourage wider use of VoIP
17 November 2010 – To celebrate a successful first year, telephone systems company Cloudnet, today announced that it is giving away free Grandstream internet phones and Siemens Cordless DECT business phones to help small companies to benefit from the low call costs of VoIP through professional pre-configured internet phone handsets.
For a 10 person company, Cloudnet predicts that with its free phone offer, typical savings are between £700 - £2,000 for equivalent VoIP handsets.
Cloudnet is offering new subscribers to its Cloudnet Connect 
service, free handsets until 1 January 2011.
Cloudnet Connect, which starts at £8.50 per month plus calls, is for businesses that are looking for a phone system without the huge setup costs and includes:
- Plug and play VoIP - free phones and online PBX - no capital expenditure
- All inclusive advanced business telephone features, such as voicemail, call divert, call recording
- Free calls within the Cloudnet network and branch to branch
- Low national and international call charges
David Hill, Chairman of Cloudnet said, “while call costs for VoIP are attractive the cost of IP phones has inevitably been high, from £70 to over £200 per handset. We believe that we have created the most attractive internet phone package for businesses which includes free handsets to accompany a full online switchboard, and we believe to be much more cost effective than our VoIP service provider rivals. With the Cloudnet Connect system, we provide the easiest to install and use VoIP system for small businesses.
We are also expanding the range of phones we offer and have just signed a deal to offer Snom, Yealink and Cisco Linksys phones to our customers.”
