Hello all,
I have been looking around the web as well as eBay at the many different types and brands of phone systems. If I were to buy myself a phone system (I'm looking for recommendations), here is what I would need:
- 1 to 3 CO line capability
- at least 4 extension capability
- Caller ID capability
- easy programming (I don't mean plug and play, just looking for something simple to start out with)
- standard telephone capable
- customizable line selection/feature buttons
- customizable ring tones (proprietary phones of course)
- handsfree intercom (ex: announcing a call through a phone's speaker)
- music on hold (with headphone jack input)
- programmable extension numbers (preferably up to 4 digits, such as x8775)
- attendant/operator extension that can be programmed as intercom ext. 0 (all incoming calls ring here first, then are transferred to the desired party)
- automatic line selection
- paging capability with tone before announcement (and headphone jack input)
- active line privacy (so no-one picks up when the line is in use)
- intercom caller ID (this is not needed, and if the system uses a different ringtone for intercom calls this is not necessary)
- phones MUST use RJ11 cords (I can't remove the existing RJ11 jacks in place), 4 pair RJ11 cords are OK
I know there are a lot of systems out there, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what brand/type of system I would like to work with. If anyone has any recommendation of what kind of system I should look into or consider, any input would be appreciated. :thumb:
Thank you,
