Small Office Phone Systems
Cordless Phone Review

Multi-line cordless phone systems make excellent small office phone systems. They are relatively cheap and can be installed in minutes without a technician. Most have integrated digital answering machines, but they are also capable of being used with voicemail services.

How Many Lines?

Most cordless phone manufacturers have a two line cordless phone in their product range, but there are just a handful of 4 line phone systems to decide between. Most are expandable to between eight and twelve handsets.

Best 4 Line Cordless Phones

A Panasonic cordless telephone has topped the ratings for years. The KX-TG4500B is a robust and has a comprehensive set of features. It's a 5.8 GHz phone with good range and immunity to interference from WiFi networks.

The Panasonic KX-TG4500B competes with an ATT cordless phone. The AT&T SB67118 4 line phone system uses the latest DECT 6.0 technology. Other advancements include push-to-talk (PTT) and range extenders. The latter can be used to overcome dead spots in and around larger buildings, where a cordless telephone may not have been suitable solution in the past.

2 Line Cordless Phones

There are dozens of options, but the best two line cordless phones are either Panasonic or Uniden phones. They deliver state of the art features without sacrificing ease of use.

When comparing cordless 2 line phones always decide in advance on the style of phone. For example whether it is to be a straight cordless or a corded cordless phone, whether an integrated answering machine is required or not and whether you require Bluetooth connectivity.

VoIP Cordless Phones

The cordless VoIP phone is destined to supersede traditional cordless landline phones. They can be used with either VoIP small office phone systems or a VoIP phone service.

Siemens Gigaset has a range of hybrid cordless VoIP phones that are suitable as small office phone systems. They can be expanded up to six handsets and enable up to three concurrent phone conversations: two via IP connections and one via traditional land line phone service.

VoIP Pros and Cons

While an online phone service is a great way to reduce the cost of communicating with customers, there are initial set-up costs that need to be surmounted. These can be considerable in the case of corded VoIP phone systems with multiple termination points. By using a cordless telephone system most of these costs can be avoided.

Cordless Phone Headset

A cordless telephone headset is an indispensable piece of equipment for many small business owners. While all Panasonic cordless telephones have a headset jack, that is not always the case with other brands including ATT and Vtech phones.

Cordless Headset Phone

Plantronics has tapped into one of the fastest growing niches within the small office phone systems market. It's C12 and C14 wearable cordless headset phones are the benchmark.
