COLCHESTER, U.K. - TelAve -- The cost of a cloud-based telephone system varies widely depending on several factors. These include the size of your business, the number of users, the features you require, and the provider you choose. Generally speaking, you can expect to pay anywhere from £7 to £55 per user per month for a basic package.

1. Size Of Your Business
Cloud telephone system are sold on a subscription basis so the size of your business obviously plays a significant role in determining the cost of a cloud phone system.

2. Number Of Users
Subscriptions are sold based on the number of users which also impacts the cost significantly. Most providers charge on a per-user basis which means that the more employees you have using the system, the higher your monthly costs will be. But do make sure you ask about different licence types as often providers will have seperate prices for various types of licences. For instance a reception desk user might require a higher licence type then a classroom teacher who receives the occasional call from the office but rarely makes any herself.

3. Features Required
The features you require will also affect your overall costs. Basic packages usually include standard features such as voicemail, call forwarding and call waiting. However, if you need advanced features like video conferencing, CRM integration or auto-attendant capabilities then expect to pay more.
