Benefits of a new phone system
Buying a new system gives you a longer warranty than pre-owned so you have peace of mind with your purchase. New systems will of course have the latest features, especially VOIP and fully NBN ready. As requirements for every customer is different, you should contact us to discuss further exactly what you need. We ensure to supply the correct system and features for exactly what you need.So what technology do i need?
There are digital and IP phones available. Some people think that digital phones are old and not compatible with the NBN. This is not the case. Digital phones interface to a phone system, and what is important is the actual phone system box. Digital handsets are suited to customers either over new style category 5 or 6 cable, however they have the advantage of also using older style cabling which may save you money on the need to re-cable. Mixing digital phones and IP systems is a hybrid solution which is very popular. It is also a big cost saver. There are no disadvantages with having a digital phone however based on a discussion with you, there may be a need for IP phones.Can i take an IP phone home?
Yes IP phones work from home or another location. There is a little setup involved however this is certainly something we can setup for you.
Hosted PABX or phone systems are cloud based solutions that solely use the internet to communicate. Even though this is the direction we are heading, with the many issues associated with internet in Australia, you must ensure that you have a reliable and fast internet connection before considering this option. With the right internet connection this is certainly a great solution, and rather than a standard price to own the system outright, a monthly fee is paid while having the system hosted.
