By Lori Carver A business cordless phone system makes sense for on the go offices today. Cordless phones systems expand up to 12 handsets. Business cordless phone systems are less expensive then cells, but they offer the same flexibility within the office. 2 line cordless phones or 4 line cordless phones allow you to carry a mobile switchboard with you anywhere within the office. Choose to complete your system with a cordless phone headset for hands free operation. 
 

Choose the options that work with what your business needs: 

   1. Choose expandable cordless telephones systems.

   2. Select 5.8 GHz cordless phone for minimum interference.

   3. Buy the cordless phone accessories your business needs.

Choose multi line or expandable cordless telephones

Since most businesses already have more than one phone number, the multi line cordless phones make sense. Choose the features you need such as caller ID and call waiting.
Try: RCA 25450RE3 is the digital cordless phone with the works. This phone system gives you 4 separate phone lines and is expandable to 16 handsets. Each handset can access all 4 lines. Built in speakerphone allows hands free use without a headset. Call waiting, caller ID and voice mail are all included. Rounding out these very nice features is the 2-year warranty also included.
Vtech ia5879 does not have all the bells and whistles, but it is a basic cordless phone for your business. This 2-line cordless phone system gives you caller ID, speakerphone and voice mail at a price that is affordable to any size business.

Select 5.8 cordless phone for less interference and greater range

Business cordless phone with 5.8 GHz give you a range up to 2000 feet. There is also less likelihood of interference from microwaves and other office equipment. Most scanners do not operate on this frequency, making it less likely that anyone can eavesdrop on your business calls. A digital cordless phone offers an extra measure of security, since it operates on the newest frequency just released by FCC, as well as reduces interference from other office appliances that operate on other frequencies.
Try: AT&T E5921 is a single line cordless phone although it is expandable up to 4 handsets. It comes complete with a digital answering system, caller ID, call waiting and call transfer.
Vtech 6031 digital cordless phone offers enhanced security, increased clarity and interference free reception. This single line cordless phone still has many features you need such as caller ID and 3-way conferencing, and it boasts the extra feature of being wireless network friendly. Receive you cell phone calls on this cordless phone for clearer communication.

Buy the cordless phone accessories for your business needs

Traditional headsets for your corded phones do not generally work with your cordless phones. Cordless phone headsets are not a one size fits all, so be sure the one you want works with the cordless phone you have.
Try: Headset World sells cordless phone headset for many brands and can buy your old headsets. They also offer a wide array of headset accessories such as ear pads, clothing clips and sani-wipes. 101 Phones has batteries for almost every manufacturer of cordless phones.

• Business cordless phones systems usually come with a one or two-year warranty, but this only covers manufacturer defects. Consider adding these phones to your existing business insurance policy or purchasing insurance just for your phones if you are investing in the more expensive cordless phone systems.
