Various telephone adapters types and styles can help you:

2. Record calls with a telephone recording adapter.
3. Place callers on hold with on-hold phone adapters.

Make calls via the Internet with analog telephone adapters

Analog phone adapters are devices that allow users to make calls via the Internet. These adapters offer Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calling capabilities without the cost of purchasing IP phones. These telephone Internet adapter devices connect standard telephones to computers or networks. Some analog telephone adaptors convert phones from analog to digital, while others connect directly to Voice over Internet Protocol technology to enable Internet calling. Additionally a USB telephone adapter may require software to accomplish both of these tasks. 

Record conversations with a telephone recording adapter

A telephone recording adapter connects telephones to a tape recorder for easy recording of conversations. The adapter connects the audio from a telephone line to recorder devices and isolates the recorder from the telephone line. Isolation is key with telephone recording devices because telephone regulations prohibit the connection of recording devices directly to telephone lines. When using telephone recording adapters, it's important that users familiarize themselves with federal regulations regarding telephone recording.

Allow customers to enjoy music while on hold with telephone adapters

With on-hold phone adapters, you can connect music on hold devices to standard telephones, projecting the image of a professional business phone system for your office. You can choose from one to multi-phone line adapters that allow you to provide on-hold customers with the enjoyment of music or a custom message about your business.
