Where can I get a phone with 20+ speed dial buttons on?
Discussion
As per the title really, does anyone know where I can get a landline phone with 20+ speedial buttons on it or on that I can extend? I've searched on Ebay, Amazon etc etc, but can't find anything that fits the bill. I'm sure someone on here must work in a field vaguely or directly related to phones and be able to point me in the right direction.
I would apologise to the mods for not putting this in the right section, but I'm not going to as there's so bl00dy many now that it is quite frankly confusing and means that threads don't get seen, also it's a complete pain in the arse checking through all the individual forums, the whole attraction of the old one was that you never knew what you were going to get when you opened up the board...it all seems a bit dull now and has lost it's appeal some what. So here you go a nice dull phone question to brighten up everyones Monday. Any advice anyone could give would be much appreciated.

You probably need to think differently. Lots of PBX systems can support phones with extra speed dial / busy lamp field add-ons but they are not common for standard landline phones. If I had your requirement and didn't have a PBX then I'd be thinking about a VoIP service and using click to dial from my Outlook contacts. That way you can have as many "speed dials" as you need. Only drawback is a PC needs to be on but since it's a desk based requirement I'm guessing there's a PC there anyway. HTH.
yes, it's on a standard land line in a home office, I found a model from panasonic called the KXT7636, which you can also add speed dial extensions on to. I think that this needs to be connected to some kind of network though which I don't have as it's for a single line.
The VOIP idea sounds interesting, I've not really used it before is it as reliable as a normal landline quality wise and can it be used with some kind of stand alone program as opposed to outlook? At the moment I've just got a long telephone list, which is becoming a pain to dial the same numbers each time!
Thanks for the advice.

Cheers for those links moose, the third one is the cloest I've seen to what I need, but still not enough buttons on it...Forgive my stupidity but what is PBX? Is it something I could set up on my bt landline or rather more complicated/expensive.
With regard to BB connection, standard BB on BT Line.
I cn't believe that no one makes something like this for home use!
