Intpho.net works with industry standard SIP protocol IP phones. There are three types: hard, soft and firm. Below is a brief description of each as well as example of phones that Intpho.net has tested and found to work with our system. Since Intpho.net does not dictate what type of IP phones that you can use with our system, there are quite a few variations in configuration and setup procedures.

IP PBX
IP PBXs marries the rich feature set of legacy PBX telephone systems with the convenience and cost advantages of internet telephony. It has common key system features such as an auto attendant, shared line appearances, three way call conferencing, music on hold, "follow me" calling, and many more. IP PBXs opens up access to the benefits of Voice Over IP, including low cost long distance service, phone number portability, and can even converge voice and data into one network.

Soft phones are simply a piece of software that is loaded onto your computer and uses the computer's soundcard as a user interface. Most people start with a soft phone because of their low price (typically free) and availability (easily downloadable). The down side is that you do need a computer and it is often more difficult to use a microphone/headset than a traditional handset.

Firm phones are a combination of a soft and hard phone. They are handsets that plug into your computer which utilize intelligent drivers running on the computer to communicate with the network. They are a good compromise, both inexpensive and the ease of use with a handset. Most of these phones use a simple USB connection to interface to the computer. The down side is that they do need software drivers and a computer to work.
