The phones in my office were out of commission half the day yesterday.
Why? Because they’re voice-over-IP phones (simply put, phones that transmit and receive voice audio over a computer network), and the network was on the fritz.
Also irksome, as I discovered, is the fact that the phones take about a minute to boot up. Did anyone foresee the day when they would have to wait for the desk phones to boot up before using them?
