Nortel discontinued the Norstar M7100 Telephones in January of 2003. However, vendors still sell Norstar M7100 business telephone systems. Smaller businesses or larger businesses looking for break room or lobby telephones may benefit from purchasing a Norstar M7100 business phone. Because Nortel discontinued this product, this telephone costs less than newer Norstar models.

Norstar M7100 business phones offer many features.

1. Each Norstar M7100 telephone has 1 programmable button and 1 feature button.
2. The Norstar M7100 business telephone includes a 16-character LCD window.
3. Norstar M7100 phone systems are compatible with all Norstar Integrated Communication systems.

Norstar M7100 business telephones offer the quality you would expect from the Nortel company. Since they are older models, however, they may not have the newest features. Norstar has since released its Business Series Terminals, a new line of business telephones. These telephones replaced the Norstar M series telephone systems.
