For the busy home or office, a multi-line phone system is a necessary communication tool. For the workplace, an expandable system with multiple handsets will ensure that as your organization continues to grow, its communication needs can be met. Additional handsets can be added without concern for compatibility issues with the existing system. Assess your needs and choose a system that can accommodate them both now and further down the road.

Features

When shopping for multi-line phones, look for features that will suit the needs of your location. The ability to make and receive calls is fundamental, but other options will keep your workplace running smoothly. Features such as Call Waiting, Caller ID, voicemail, speakerphone, intercom, last number redial and built-in phonebook will help you manage calls effectively. A system with selectable ringtones allows you to assign a separate ringtone to each line, making them easily identifiable when a call comes in. Some models of multi-line phones also feature headset capabilities, ideal for locations with high call volumes. Some models will allow connections with a Bluetooth® compatible cell phone, giving the user the ability to make and take cell phone calls from the multi-line phone.

Portability Options

For maximum portability, select a cordless multi-line phone system or a corded system that offers the option to include cordless handsets, providing enhanced flexibility. Most cordless multi-line multiple handset systems will offer the same array of features as a corded system. A hybrid system, with both desktop and cordless units, will give greater flexibility for the growing workplace, allowing employees access to a phone whether at a desk or in a location without a nearby phone jack.

Accessories

Make sure to choose accessories that are compatible with your phone system. A wireless headset is a convenient tool to help manage calls while keeping your hands free for other tasks. To keep your multiple phones and headsets free from fingerprints, dirt and germs, pick up a pack of handy telephone cleaning wipes.
