I tried finding reviews of 4 line analog phones to see which product is most reliable. Customer had variety of AT&T models, wants to get away from them, mainly cuz keep changing models. Panasonic seems to be a crap shoot. Cortelco has high failure rate. Any recommendations for reliable sets? Lots of features not desired. Thanks for your time.

Price him a XBlue x16. I think they'd be happier with that.
All I've ever mess with were the AT&T

How many phones do they need? TransTel Lynx would be my recommendation unless several phones are needed then I would use a Lynx II or G1E

Do you really want to keep going the Non-KSU route? If so, you don't really have too many choices. But I don't think any of the commercial installers here have much to say about any of them.
When I've seen over 5 of the four line phones installed, reports of cross talk start creeping in.
The small systems that have been mentioned really won't break the bank and will give you a much richer service.

I agree with either the X-16 or the Lynx. The X16 is very easy to program by the end user. The Lynx I haven't had the pleasure yet, but found the Transtel very flexible.

All those multi-line KSU less phones are consumer items with all the problems that go with them as you discovered. A small key system actually works out cheaper in the long run.

-Hal Absolutely. Years ago I had a customer that wanted 2,3 & 4 line KSU-less phones (behind a CO switch that didn't offer digital sets). They thought they would save a boatload of money. Within a year all that were left were the two line units. The rest had been replaced by electronic sets on KSUs. Sam

About 4 years ago, we had an attorney that was all set to put in those "4-line" phones. In fact, he went to Staples and bought them, but the particular set didn't have voice mail, and he didn't have any wiring in the building :-)
We converted it into a Panasonic system sale with voice mail and he's had no problems with it at all. I think they were about $150 (that could be either 130 or 170) average per set. Not only did he get his phones and network installed, he also got call accounting to reconcile his time in the price. Sure, it was more money, but he got a lot more features.
