HP Poly Edge E220 IP Phone and PoE-enabled

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The HP Poly Edge E220 is one of those “boring but useful” office IP phones, and at £77.10 ex-VAT that’s exactly the kind of price point where it makes sense. It’s a solid fit for shared spaces and straightforward extensions (reception overflow, small teams, back-office lines) where you don’t need fancy features—just something that reliably answers, places calls, and runs happily on PoE without faffing about with extra power supplies. If you’ve got a basic SIP setup and you want low-effort deployment, this is the sort of unit that won’t eat your time.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if your users expect the more modern “busy office” experience—better usability for call handling, richer device management, or a lot of integrations—because phones in this bracket tend to feel limited compared to pricier Poly models once you start comparing day-to-day workflows. Also, if you’re unsure about compatibility with your SIP/telephony platform or PoE budget on the switch, sort that out before purchasing—cheap phones are only cheap when the network side is straightforward. Overall: good value for simple, dependable desk calling; not the best choice for power users or complex call-centre style requirements.
