Business Phone Systems
Discussion
I am just about to move offices and expand with new staff etc,
I was planning of having BT install 5 new lines, four being for 4 staff members and one being fax / broadband.
Chatting to a friend he asked WTF I was doing that for and claims that if I spend a few hundred quid on a 2nd hand phone system I would only need 1 line and still be able to have 4 people on the phone at once and still be able to use the fax and have broadband on.
Anybody have any idea on this, I though even with a phone system we would still need additional line,
Currently we have the BT phones Featureline and Embark which is like a phone system where we can trasnfer calls around the office but we do have the requisit number of lines for the people here.

Cost wise it'll be cheaper to go for the option you've already mentioned.
If you have a phone system fitted you'll still need 4 lines (unless you don't want all of your staff to be able to be on the phone at once)
The advantages to having a phone system are the fact that you'll be able to make internal calls without charge, you can transfer calls, expand the system as your business grows.
Perhaps the biggest advantage though is that your business will only have one telephone number which will ring all handsets.
A secondhand Panasonic KXT or KXTD would fill your needs perfectly and are great, reliable systems.
Some of our branches are still running systems that are 10 years old with no issues.
