my best advice for you then is find some friends or family and have them ask their IT department if they have an old phone that they would want to give instead of throw away. Usually departments have some spare outdated shit. Otherwise, you are going to pay a lot for a business phone with the options you want. Businesses usually get jewed because "it's the business paying for it" mentality.

Setup a Asterisk PBX (foss) on a Odroid and run ethernet ports to every room.
LOL - VoIP very nice. That's a good one. I can tell you're new, and don't do much with it.
I am going to give you some advice - always reboot the phone as the first step. Do this long enough to get a grasp on the technologies involved - then get the fuck out.
