UniFi Talk is here and it could be BIG!

In this video, I go over the basic details of the new UniFi Talk system and subscription service, show a comparison to Vonage Business Communications, provide an example cost analysis, and a sample deployment.

Something I heard that is missing is a after hours attendant, which to me is a must can anyone confirm this?

On your cost analysis you only have 1 line on unifi and you have 5 lines on vonage meaning you could have only 1 person using a phone at a time vs 5 concurrent calls. This would still only bring unifi up to $50/month which is still 1/3 the price. I currently have 30 phones and I probably only need 10-15 lines but i'm paying for 30 because of that stupid price structure they all use. I'm excited about unifi talk, but I'm probably going to wait until next year to look into it. I also am wondering if you will be able to plug in a phone anywhere on the internet and connect to the SIP server or if it has to be on the LAN or VPN with the dream machine

Apparently someone at Vonage worked at AT&T in the 60s.

Can I use the UniFi Talk devices on my network only? No phone numbers associated to any devices but able to communicate with other UniFi phones on the same network without phone numbers (just extensions)? I plan on using them internally only with zero phone numbers.

This is the new Ubiquiti, "launch a half thought product and move on" is the current corporate mantra.

Just would like to add, If for some reason you go over 3000 minutes on a line, You pay $0.02/min for US/CAN/MEX. International is different depending on which country you're calling.

A few notes as feedback:
1) I see the improvements made from the last video have been put into place, this great to see! The placement of the webcam is great, and I think the format really makes this high quality.
2) However, something with the audio has changed also since the last video. I notice you’re in a different place for recording and or the microphone used is different to the last video. This was instantly noticeable, the audio that is, and I think trying to keep the audio quality and clarity as consistent as possible improves your video’s and channel’s level of quality big time! 😊 This video’s audio is usable, just a bit more muffled in comparison to your last video.
3) The video’s visuals, with the fade in and out of the images, is an excellent touch!
4) At the example cost analysis, at 05:58, you have an astricts (*) under the table with “All figure shown are before TAX.” Now an Astricts (*) is only required in this sort of case if only certain figures on the table don’t include TAX but others do. So, you have a mix of both. You use the astricts on the end of those that then do and have the foot note that figures marked with an astricts don’t include TAX. If all figures are before TAX, you can simply put “Note – All figures shown here are before TAX.”
5) Those Price savings! WHOA!! I’d love to see if this is the reality when put into place, and would love to see a initial set-up and test video and possibly a walk through of the TALK app and its features etc.
6) Also, I would love to know if it would be more cost affective to use a UDM Pro or a CKG2+ and the needed PoE injectors or Switch for say a 10 – 20-person company. A phone per person, X wireless access points and a few cameras. An idea for a future video possibly?
7) Love to see the commitment and I hope you can continue with these videos!

Hope this is still helpful!
Keep up the good work!

Have you tried 3rd party sip providers?

I have just one phone so its just 9, 99 per month right?

I like this. Vera simple setup and Good funktionalitet, BUT and its a big one, here in Europe we are already beyond desk phones in general. No one is deploying them anymore unless for very specific use cases where this system is too simple. Instead we use cell phones with a land line number and cloud pix attached, you can make and receive calls, transfer calls or log in to or out of call queues through the PBX via an app on the cellphone and dial or receive calls just like any other cellphone calls. Use the headset you normally use and use the PBX voicemail as usual. We simply have already gone past this solution. I don’t see this being a great hit in Europe. It in some way show that the US is a bit strange. Innovative on one hand and slow to adopt new tech at the same time.
