Phone Buying Guide

Choose the phone that fits the desk. If your network does not provide PoE power, buy the matching power supply too.

The short answer

Most desks: Poly Edge E220.
No ethernet: Poly Edge E350.
Older budget: Poly VVX 250.
Cordless: Poly Rove B2.

Current desk phones

These are the phones we recommend first for a new office or a new user.

Best default desk phone

Poly Edge E220

HP 82M87AA / Poly 2200-86990-025

Buy this for most desks.

Best for: A regular office desk with an ethernet cable.

Current Poly model, color screen, Bluetooth, and gigabit ethernet passthrough.

Best Wi-Fi desk phone

Poly Edge E350

HP 82M89AA / Poly 2200-87010-025

Buy this when the desk does not have ethernet.

Best for: Home offices, older buildings, or desks where running cable is not practical.

Current Poly model with built-in Wi-Fi. We still recommend ethernet when you have it.

Older phones that still work

These are not the first phones we recommend for a new office, but they are fine if you want to save money or replace a phone you already have.

Older budget phone

Poly VVX 250

Older Poly VVX model

Still fine when you want a lower-cost wired phone.

Best for: Simple desks, back offices, replacement phones, or existing VVX installs.

Reliable and supported, but older than the Edge phones.

Older phone with more keys

Poly VVX 350

Older Poly VVX model

Useful when you need more line keys than a VVX 250.

Best for: Reception, shared desks, or users who watch several lines.

Still usable, but not our first choice for a new office.

Poly Rove cordless phones

Use a cordless phone when the person is not sitting at one desk. We recommend buying cordless setups through Vocatech so the base and handset ship already configured.

Cordless option

Poly Rove B2 with Rove 20 handset

B2 base: HP 84H80AA#ABA / Rove 20 handset: HP 8F3E4AA#ABA

Buy this when someone needs to walk around with the phone.

Best for: Warehouses, medical offices, retail floors, or anyone away from the desk.

Cordless setups are easier when bought through Vocatech because the base and handset ship configured together.

Before buying any other phones

We support all Poly and some tested Yealink models. Do not buy a random Yealink model without checking with us first. Yealink has many models, and even Yealink does not support every model the same way.

Still stuck?

A real human at Vocatech answers the phone. Usually within minutes during business hours.
