Issue: Business wants to upgrade their 4 old Panasonic DBS corded phones to cordless. They are attached to a Panasonic VB-42050, and these are the only phones at the business. Business has 4 phone lines and needs to keep 4 line functionality. I'm unfamiliar with this old hardware and I'm not finding much online. I've only worked with Mitel PBX before. -Are there any cordless phones that are compatible with the VB-42050? -If not, is there any point in keeping the VB unit? -If a replacement for the VB is the way to go, what are some good budget-conscious solutions for 4 lines and 4 cordless phones for business?

Your best bet in this instance would be to replace the whole thing with one of the 4-line "systems" sold in office supply stores that utilize one base unit with four lines and multiple wireless handsets. Here's an example of one of them: TAKE A LOOK HERE, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY AVAILABLE

Not many hardware systems still around. A Partner system would have been great, but that is also long gone. | | | | Joined: Jul 2020 Posts: 2 Member | OP Member Joined: Jul 2020 Posts: 2 | Thank you guys for the advice!! | | | | Joined: May 2002 Posts: 4,085 Moderator-Avaya, Polycom | Moderator-Avaya, Polycom Joined: May 2002 Posts: 4,085 | Any more concerns were here to help. | | | Forums93 Topics94,342 Posts639,398 Members49,445 | Most Online5,661 May 23rd, 2018 | |
