This is exactly what is so absurd. The entire PBX system including hardware and the 20 user license costs 599$.
JUST the Software alone in the cheaper "Standard" Edition without ANY hardware at all costs 849$ for 20 Users.
So you really think spending 424,50$ to upgrade a 599$ devices is a good deal if what you is basically fax2email?
Thats like paying 30.000$ for a new Navigation-Street-Map DVD just because your car cost 50.000$.
But I guess fax2email ist such an extraordinary special feature that this justifies the price. Oh wait, no this is an absolute standard feature that just about every system has...
Thanks for clearing that up. Basically that means the "free" edition is unusable in any Office that has 3 or more people. The system I was looking to buy was for an office with 4 people so the free version would not have been enough.
Unfortunately, 599$ + 849$/2 = 1023,50$ is a little bit too steep a price for have a nice asterisk GUI in a 3-4 person office.
Sad! Your loss though. Lots of other more affordable systems availabe, I just would have loved the ARM based Snom MINI because it looks like an extraordinarily well engineered piece of hardware.
