VTech provides big company telephony for all
VTech Communications has announced a new 4-Line Small Business Phone System, providing small businesses with the most affordable and easy to install 4-line phone system on the market. The company said that the system makes it easier for small business owners to install phone systems possessing qualities traditionally reserved for large companies with IT staff and sizeable budgets.
The VTech 4-Line Small Business Phone System components include the main console with the option of expandable cordless desksets, cordless accessory handsets, cordless headsets and speakerphones, thereby allowing the system to grow alongside the business.
Adding equipment for additional employees is apparently simple. With the touch of a button, a small business owner with minimal IT experience can wirelessly register up to nine desksets, handsets, headsets or speakerphones to the console. Only the console requires a phone line, so the expandable components can be located anywhere there is power.
According to VTech, not only is the system easy to install and easy to use, it also offers a number of advanced features designed to meet the needs and budgets of small businesses. These include an auto attendant for each line, a digital answering machine with mailboxes for every extension, full-duplex speakerphones, hold music, power failure operation, and six-way conferencing.
Notable features of the new VTech 4-Line Small Business Phone System include:
• Auto attendant – answers, transfers and forwards
calls to specified extensions or inboxes on all four
lines.
• Store up to 180 minutes of incoming messages
and memos
• Wirelessly register cordless desksets, handsets,
headsets or speakerphones using DECT 6.0 digital technology.
The VTech 4-Line Small Business Phone System components are available in stores as well as online at www.vtechphones.com. Each system component includes a limited two-year warranty and is software and feature complete.
