"How much will it cost?" is the first question most owners ask, and the honest answer is: it depends on how you count. Let us break it down in rupees so you can compare options fairly.
The traditional way: what you pay for
- Desk phones, which typically cost around PKR 12,000 to 15,000 each for a basic business phone with features.
- Installation and wiring, which vary by building.
- Line or connection charges from the operator.
- Repairs and replacement if a handset breaks.
For a five-person team, handsets alone can be PKR 60,000 to 75,000 before any installation, and you may wait several days or longer for the line to work.
The cloud way: what you pay for
- A monthly fee per line, which includes the number and the software.
- Optional add-ons such as call recording or campaigns.
- Sales tax on the monthly fee.
- A headset for each agent and an internet connection you probably already have.
Worked example: five agents with Dialsyx
| Item | Amount (PKR) |
|---|---|
| 5 lines at Team pricing (4,800 each) | 24,000 |
| 5% sales tax | 1,200 |
| Total per month | 25,200 |
| Hardware needed | Headsets only |
Add Recording at PKR 1,250 per line if you need it, and tax is added to the add-on as well. You can see your exact total with the pricing calculator.
What else to include in your comparison
- Setup time: how many days before your team can call?
- Flexibility: how easy is it to add or remove a person?
- Features: do you get CRM, follow-ups and call logs, or do you pay for them separately?
- Calling limits: is calling to Pakistani numbers unlimited, subject to fair usage?
- Cancellation: how much notice is needed?
Hidden costs to avoid
How to keep costs under control
- Start with the number of lines you really need, and add more when results justify it.
- Use add-ons only for the teams that benefit, such as recording for quality teams.
- Pick headsets that last rather than the cheapest option that breaks.
- Review usage every quarter and remove lines nobody uses.
Is it worth it?
The best answer is to compare cost with value. If a single extra customer each month pays for your plan, the system has done its job. If it saves each agent even half an hour a day through faster follow-ups and less searching for notes, the savings add up quickly. Run a short trial and measure calls made, follow-ups completed and appointments booked before and after.
Be careful of low headline prices that exclude tax, per-minute charges or extra fees for basic features. Ask for the total monthly amount in writing. For more questions to ask a provider, read how to choose a VoIP provider in Pakistan.
