Upright non-voip telepone hunt

December 23, 2008 12:40 PM

Where can I buy an upright non-voip telephone?

I'm looking to buy a desk telephone for the office. Previously I've used upright Cisco VOIP phones like the 7961G.

Because this new phone will not be within a secured network, I can't use VOIP this time (insecure initial key exchange) so am looking for a traditional POTS phone.

Apart from being upright, the phone needs to have a decent keypad so that I can dial quickly, and heavy enough that it doesn't move across the desk when I dial.

I can't find anything on Amazon or in electrical dealers. Any ideas?

Not inexpensive, but I have a weakness for Bang & Olufsen phones.

@gudrun: they really are beautiful phones, a bit out of my price range though :)

Ideally I'm going for a corded phone with screen that shows the number I am dialling.

What is wrong with these phones?

@b1tr0t I'm looking for a phone that's more upright.

Most desk phones can be mounted to a wall, if you look carefully underneath. Im guessing that you have no wall to attach to though.

Pick a phone from my first link, and add a phone stand.

Alternately, get a block of wood from home depot and bolt your chosen phone to it, using the included wall bracket.
