VoIP Supply Interviews SimpleWan to talk about their Upcoming Webinar and more!

June 23, 2017 by Steve Lopian

Having visitors drop by the office is nothing new at VoIP Supply, and last week we got to spend the day with SimpleWan’s OEM Manager, Josh Haselhorst.

Josh started off the day by leading some extremely valuable training sessions for our Sales and Marketing Team. Then we were able to enjoy a delicious lunch! Somewhere in between all of the action, we were able to steal Josh away for a quick interview to give you a preview of what they have to offer and what the upcoming webinar will be focused on.

Josh was able to sum up the SimpleWan mission and give some insight on how great it has been to partner with us here at VoIP Supply!

Please check out the interview above, and if you want to know more about SimpleWan, and what they offer the telecommunication world, register for our co-hosted webinar taking place June 27th at 2 pm! We hope to see you there! (This webinar has been ended. Check out other upcoming events!)

How to Read the Power Indicator LED on the Yealink T46S

by Steve Lopian

Have you ever looked at your desk phone and wondered why there is a blinking red light? Or maybe a flashing green light? I feel like when it comes to weird blinky things there are two different types of people. Either you just say “Ehh, it’s always been that way” or “why is this blinking! It’s never blinked before!”

Either way, if something is grabbing your attention, then it is probably a good idea to know what it is trying to tell you. Even if it means knowing how to make it stop so the guy next to you with OCD leaves you alone.

No matter what phone you have on your desk when it comes to notifications they are all generally similar. So let’s go over what your phone migh tbe trying to tell you by taking a closer look at the Power Indicator LED patterns on the Yealink T46S.

How to Read the Power Indicator LED on the Yealink T46S

If the phone’s LED indicator is solid red, that means the phone is initializing
If the phone’s LED indicator is fast flashing red, that means the phone is ringing or the network is disconnected.
If the phone’s LED indicator is slow flashing red, that means the phone has received a text message or voicemail
If the phone’s LED indicator is off then the phone is either off, or there are no notifications or activity.

And there you have it! The next time your Yealink T46S is blinking red at you, you should know exactly what it is trying to tell you. This blog covers Power Indicator LED, however, there are many more lights that can flash at you. To learn the full list of indicators and what they mean, check out this user manual (page 5).

Do you have a Yealink T46S? If not, what phone do you use? And are the LED indicators similar? We want to know!

VTech ErisTerminal VSP600 DECT Phone Enables Easy Call Transfer

June 22, 2017 by Ying-Hui Chen

Recently, we have received an inquiry from one of our customers looking for a solution that provides an easy way to transfer calls. If you have the same demand, you will find this blog post useful!

How to Transfer Calls

Most of the DECT/ Wireless/ Cordless solutions on the market allow users to transfer calls through their menu to an extension/number. However, this process takes extra time to go through the menu and select “transfer”. Some cordless phones’ transfer functions are even buried deeply somewhere else, which causes inconvenience to many busy users who need to transfer calls multiple times a day.

Is there s Simple Way to Transfer Calls?

Yes, there is. One possible solution would be using a deskphone instead, as most of the corded phones provide a simple transfer key. I know what you are going to say – well, that defeats the purpose of having a wireless phone at first! So, instead of going with a deskphone and sacrifice your freedom away from your desk, there’s a better option for you – VTech ErisTerminla VSP600.

Luckily, with the ErisTerminal VSP600, transferring calls is an easy piece. Simply use the “Transfer” key right on the lower-left of the screen. VTech offers popular wireless and easy-to-use solutions. I hope this solves your communication headache!

VoIP Supply Q&A: How Big Is Your Business?

by Steve Lopian

Here at VoIP Supply, we know that not every business is the same. So, when it comes to VoIP service, the most important thing to keep in mind is the size of your business. Keeping this in mind will help guide you when looking to switch to VoIP. What does that mean exactly? Well, there are several different options to consider when looking to deploy and maintain VoIP in your office. In order to help better understand what options you should be considering, we put together this video to help narrow down your search!

VoIP News! The latest On The Mitel/Toshiba MoU, The Patton Smartnode 101 and More!

June 20, 2017 by Steve Lopian

Unless you have been living under a rock, I’m sure you have heard by now that Toshiba is exiting the VoIP business. If you or your business are currently Toshiba customers then you probably were about to fall into a deep despair, that is until Mitel swooped in and saved the day!

Mitel recently confirmed that they have signed a MoU with Toshiba to transfer certain assets and support obligations to Mitel. This Memorandum of Understanding means that Mitel will be honoring Toshiba contracts and warranties, along with honoring past Toshiba quotes and maintaining what is left of Toshiba’s inventory. Doing this will ensure a clear and easy path for customers who will be transitioning over to Mitel.

mitel-and-toshiba

But if you are someone who is looking at this as a reason to try something new, there are other options out there. One popular choice that can replace your Toshiba system is Digium Switchvox.

Digium Switchvox is easy-to-use, feature-rich, and cost-effective. If that is not enough for you to consider, we are offering special discounts off the US MSRP for selected Switchvox appliances or Switchvox software downloads when sold to replace a Toshiba system. This promotion also applies if you are looking to replace your Avaya system as well!

In other news, Patton Electronics has released a brand new ATA called the SmartNode 101. This is a feature-rich analog telephone adapter that enables you to connect standard telephones and make VoIP calls using your broadband connection.

These are easy to install and simple to use. The SN 101 is equipped with one FXS RJ-11 phone interface, and as for the size? These things are SMALL! You can really put this thing anywhere!

If you are just starting to look into VoIP, or looking to give VoIP a try without getting rid of your old telephone lines, then the SN101 is worth a look.

Lastly, we have one huge promotion that we have been running here at VoIP Supply that is coming to a close. Get one month of FREE VoIP service when you sign up through the CloudSpan MarketPlace!

This is a great deal if you are in the market for VoIP service, but you can also use this to your advantage if you are a VoIP Service reseller! That’s right! You can use this promotion to offer your customers one month of free VoIP service as well! This promotion is ending June 30th, so make sure you take advantage while you still can!

And that is your VoIP News Update for June! If you haven’t caught it yet, check out our video as well! And don’t forget to subscribe to the VoIP Supply’s YouTube channel for all the latest in VoIP!

How to Customize Your Wallpaper on the Obihai 1032

by Steve Lopian

Statistically speaking, most of us will spend around 90,000 hours of our lives working. Some of us will spend most of that time in an office, or at a desk. What I can’t tell you is how much of that time you will spend daydreaming about being somewhere else.

While I’m sure it would add up to a couple thousand hours, one thing we can say for sure if that it is important to have things with us at work that remind us why we get up and go through the grind week-in and week-out.

Maybe a picture? Or a souvenir from a memorable trip? No matter what it is, you have to have a little bit of your own personality on your desk, but what about your phone? It is not uncommon for deskphones to display images and if you have a phone that can do this, then you have to take advantage!

There are tons of different IP phones out there! Some of them work similar, most of them are different, but setting your own personal wallpaper is easy! For this blog, we are going to go through how to customize your wallpaper on the Obihai 1032! Just follow these easy steps!

Insert a USB flash drive into the Obihai 1032
Navigate to Storage in Settings
Once you locate your USB flash drive select the device and press Explore
Select the image you would like to use off of your USB flash drive by pressing Select
Press Copy and the screen will automatically switch to the destination drive “Internal”
From there, navigate to the folder called “backgnd” and open
Then simply hit Paste and your image will be added to the phone’s wallpaper collection

While there are several steps, as you can see it is an easy and most likely familiar process. Do you have an Obihai 1032 on your desk? If not, what phone do you use? And let us know what you have for your customer wallpaper! We want to know!
