The current economic climate is not necessarily small-business friendly. Perhaps even more so than in the past, small business must focus on start-up costs and even look towards self-financing. Keeping expenses on track and reasonable will contribute strongly to viability and overall potential.
Fortunately, today's technology is a strong ally of small business. Consider, for example, the phone system. In the past, a competitive, reliable system involved a great deal of equipment and wiring. This would ultimately lead to a large installation cost.
Today, there is a wide variety of brand name 4 line cordless phones that are a great investment for the start-up, home office or small business. These phones offer a laundry list of powerful features while the 4 line capability ensures virtually seamless communication with potential customers. More lines clearly equal less busy signals or missed calls. Simply set up the base system with the existing phone jack and plug in the cordless handsets wherever required.
Consider, for example, a Panasonic KX TG4500B 4 line expandable cordless phone system. This is what is widely known as a next gen system. Next gen means next generation and refers most specifically to its 5.8 GHz FHSS technology. FHSS (or Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) offers professional and impressive call clarity over greater distance. It also offers strong call security. This Panasonic model, expandable up to 8 handsets, also offers up to 8 individual voicemail boxes. Each box user can create a personalized greeting. The digital answering system accepts up to 100 minutes of recording.
One might also choose a Vtech 4 line cordless phone. The Vtech VT40-2421 4 line cordless phone system accepts up to 4 standard phone lines. This is a 2.4 GHz DSS (or Digital Spread Spectrum) system that is expandable to a generous 12 handsets. All of the features – such as conference calling, speed dial and call transfer - can be accessed from a handset.
Another option would be an RCA 4 line cordless phone. The RCA 25450RE3, for example, is a 900 MHz Wi-Fi compatible DSS system that has a range of approximately 2,000 feet. Certainly small-business friendly, this 4-line cordless phone can be expanded to accommodate an amazing 16 handsets. With voicemail for up to 17 individual boxes – one for each handset and one for the base unit – the system handles a total of 100 recorded minutes. This unit also offers the expected business calling features such as conference calls, call forwarding and transfer and the answering system has an auto attendant.
One may confidently rely on the quality and value of these brand name 4 line cordless phones, as well as those from Uniden, AT&T and more, to launch and support the communication needs of any small or home business.
