Posted By: Jonnydanger Fox " 24" CTI phone system used? - 01/11/05 10:27 PM
Hey guys.

This is kind of a chat around the water cooler question but does anyone recognize the phone system used on the fox show " 24" It was used in the " counter terrorist unti(CTU)"

The phones look similar to the Panasonic phones because of the upward stance but the buttons look kind of like the ones used on the ESI systems.

I was just wondering if anyone else notices these things or if it was just me. I always try to identify a phone system when I walk in a building.

Thanks.

PS. The subject line of this thread should say " CTU" instead of " CTI". Sorry for the typo.

They look and sound like Avaya phones to me. I've spotted Nortel phones in that show as well.

West Wing has Cisco Phone in conference room but Nortel set on the President's Desk. Frasier had a Partner - tons of shows had and still have Merlin Sets.

Then there was the X-Files. Every phone, except the cell phones, was an old Vodavi black analog set, the 61612.
And yes, I do look for the phones. It really pisses off my wife.

24 uses a CISCO AVVID system.

any by the way, OCC now has a Panasonic KX-TDA 100 Phone system. Panasonics new line. A friend of mine installed it a couple months back. He is supposed to get mad and throw one of the old executones against the wall on one of the shows.

I think that show "Wings" use to have a Tie Communications phone. I could see it in the background in the air plane hanger.

You are right about the CISCO phone on the show 24.

I find myself looking for the phones in movies and TV shows. It is funny when in one office there is a TIE Ultracom and the next office has a merlin. And yes my wife looks at me and says just watch the show.
My son does the samething with guns. How can he shoot 13 times with that revolver?

What I like is when a beautiful high tech 50+ button display phone rings with a 2500 set bell ring. TV.....should be renamed commercial vision. CV

Let me ask you guys a question.

Do you think there is product placement advertisement for phone systems in movies?

In other words, do you think the phone system manufacturer pay to have their phone system in the movie?

I know that they do it with cars all the time.
Irobot had Audi, some of the James bond movies had BMW, etc.
Pretty much every movie or TV show has APPLE computers.

I wonder is Cisco paid to have those couple of screen shots of their IP phone in the show "24"

What do you guys think?

You bet they did.

On some shows maybe but the reality shows I would think not. American Hot Rod (Discovery Channel is Toshiba Phones very dirty phones I might add. Vegas for sure they paid, last week danny used speedial on the Cisco phone on Ed's desk to call his Samsung Cell Phone.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one noticing this stuff....my wife thinks I'm crazy!

Yes, I'm addicted to 24.

Did you notice when Edgar refuses to give Marianne a "secure channel", she calls the director, Driscoll, on a Videophone?

It's the new Motorola OJO PVP. Supersexy SIP-compliant video phone with landline and IP connectivity, 5.6" high res 16:9 LCD Display, full duplex speaker phone & cordless handset!

It's a flash-heavy site, but check it out...

In the TV show " American Casino" I think they used a Nortel phone system. I could not see the exact model number.

Hey, JohnnyDanger:

Sorry but all phones on "Wings" (except the trimline at Helen's counter) are 1A2. That was the norm in those days. The phone in the hangar is a Comdial 3564 (a six-button set with a reversible base for desk/wall mounting). The phones on Faye's counter and Joe's desk are 2564's, again 1A2. Pretty sure that Roy's counter was the same. The payphone at the top of the stairs was a Western Electric 1D2 (what New England Telephone/AKA NYNEX/ AKA Bell Atlantic/ AKA Verizon would typically provide).

Man, I pay way too much attention to phones on TV, but Wings is definitely one of my favorite shows. Whatever happened to Crystal Bernard anyway?

Back to the original subject: I know this only too well. It absolutely drives me crazy that the phone in the hangar didn't have the base reversed, therefore the phone was pointing downward.

No TIE equipment on that show.

How come there's always enough time to go back and fix it a second time?

Just remeber that these phones are all props. That makes them all wireless. The most famous error is in Die Hard II. Bruce Willas is in New England but the pay phone is Pacific Bell.
