in my opinion, asterisk is the best solution. it is
relatively very cheap, asterisk is free and u can use
any soft phones to do calls. you can find cheap digium
cards, around $400+. you can set up any normal phone
to FXS cards. yu can do conference call and voicemails
in asterisk.

this link may be helpful to read though there are lots
of it out there
