Office Phone Systems Creating Greater Communication

By Annabelle Holman


When the internet came along and became mainstream, some businesses and companies adopted it. Despite the fact that the internet brought convenience to every company, the use of the phone to keep the lines between customers open still remained. Most of the businesses remained it. It is one of the easiest way to communicate. Having a phone system in your establishment can greatly increase the communication and productivity. It is far better than having many phones in individual lines. This is different from the one we always use.

The provider, size, features and type may be different from each one to the other. But they also share common qualities. These qualities will let you understand better to the one you are using at hand. For you to understand the system, you have to classify the types of office phone systems.

The multiline and the private branch exchange systems are two of the basic types. These two are closely the same in function, but they differ in the degree of complexity. A multiline is the simplest of all. It can have a maximum of eight to ten approximately, in a single line. An extension will display lines from one to ten.

The private branch exchange which is also called the PBX system. Bigger establishments use this type of automatic phone systems. This will allow you to have an option to add an automation and lines that makes the central receptionist pointless.

A multiline works in various approaches that will depend on the options given. Each line for a basic one will be given other numbers. As it receives a call, the light on the phone will blink and it will ring. In times when the it is busy and is used by someone, the caller will directly receive a voicemail. Transferring calls, voicemail and speaker are a few of their incredible features.

PBX and multiline systems are closely doing the same jobs. They differ in just one factor, that this PBX system does not need any human assistance. Any incoming call will pass through this electronic buffer that will go directly to the central receiving area. Depending on how many times it is dialed by the caller.

If you will dial the central number they will allow you to listen to an automated list of extension numbers and allow you to choose which number you want to be connected. But you can skip that, if you want to immediately connect to an extension by directly dialing the extension number.

A PBX can provide and serve you to connect internally. Your employees may dial any office extensions, without the use of outside line. You can do that, just dial the last three digits of the number. PBX systems will require you to include an number before placing the call, for you to place a call outside and access a line beyond.

Communication is a very essential part of life, as well as to business success. Whether it is a big one or small, you need to create and maintain a good communication with your clients. It will make your life easy, especially when arranging meetings with clients. So keep your communication lines open.
