    Analogue phones using VOIP network?

    Can anyone help solve this question?

    We have here some spider phones (the ones used in conference rooms) which are quite costly. They are analgoue devices, but in a new building we have VOIP phones. Is there such a thing as a converter which will let us use them in the VOIP system/network rather than buying new ones at a cost of £400+ each?

    Cheers!

    One attempt at googling this comes up with many answers.

    Including this one: http://www.paramountzone.com/dualvoipconverter.htm

      There are shed loads of different types of VOIP adaptors. Will any of them work with your phone system? Only you can do that research.

        Not quite - those products require a PC to use them, what I'm talking about is a stand alone converter?

        Cheers anyway though.

          Yeah I was hoping someone who maybe already knew could just say "yes, analogue to VOIP works, buy this <product>".
