Best 4 Line Phone System
Panasonic KX-TG4500B or AT&T SB67118 4 Line Cordless Phone

Choosing the best 4 line phone system is a critical decision for small business owners. No business can survive without a phone system and hence it's essential to make the right decision. The challenge is to choose between a 4 line cordless phone system with a proven track record - the Panasonic KX-TG4500B and a new phone system from AT&T with some very impressive specs. The most obvious difference between them is that the former is a 5.8 GHz phone and the latter is an innovative DECT 6.0 cordless phone.

Developments in Cordless Phone Technology

Panasonic KX-TG4500B

Technology has progressed and cordless phone problems experienced by users in the past are no longer major concerns. The most popular cordless phone frequencies today are 1.9 GHz (DECT 6.0 phones) and 5.8 GHz. They are both immune to interference from WiFi networks and wireless gadgets. They are also secure and almost impossible to eavesdrop.

While DECT 6.0 technology is now accepted as the de-facto standard for single line cordless phones, it's taken much longer to achieve the same acceptance in the multi line cordless phone space. Panasonic is obviously in no rush to supersede it's iconic 5.8 GHz four line telephone.

Panasonic KX-TG4500B - 4 Line Cordless Phone System

For some time the best cordless phone for small business users has been a 4 line phone system - the Panasonic KX-TG4500B. It's a 5.8 GHz phone with integrated digital cordless answering machine. It can be expanded to handle up to 8 extensions.

• Integrated cordless answering machine - 100-minutes
• Corded cordless phone base
• Cordless speaker phones - digital duplex
• Cordless conference phone - 3-way conferencing
• Full duplex intercom / 2-way paging
• Cordless phone headset option - 2.5mm headset jacks
• 100-station phone directory - dialer, and 50 station Caller ID memory - dialer

The KX-TG4500B superseded the KX-TG4000B, a Panasonic 2.4 GHz 4 line phone. There are still thousands of them in use. The upgraded Panasonic business phone system addresses nearly all of its predecessor's shortcomings and provides a near perfect package. It consistently achieves the highest cordless phone ratings.

AT&T SB67118 - DECT 4 Line Cordless Phone

AT&T SB67118

Released in early 2009 it's the latest in multi line cordless phones. On paper it's specifications are impressive. The SB67118 features "DECT 6.0 zero blind-spot technology" and repeaters increase it's cordless phone range. It can also be expanded to connect up to 10 handsets.

Early DECT 6.0 multi line cordless phones were quirky. With the exception of the Panasonic KX-TG9392T two line cordless phone, they were less than ideal business phone systems. To date the AT&T SB67118 reviews that we have received are very positive.

Multi Line Cordless Phones

DECT 6.0 technology is here to stay. Single line DECT 6.0 phones are solid and reliable. Inevitably we will see more DECT 6.0 4 line phone systems and the technology will continue to get better.
