There's a lot of things to consider when doing a phone system. You say 12 stations but how many physical lines are needed?
If you just want to have as many lines as stations then a Centrex solution would work great. Each person gets their own direct dial line but then there's also all the aspects of a PBX with transferring calls, voicemail, etc. Say you only want 4 physical lines... Now you need to consider all the various features that are required. Do you just want all the lines to ring at every phone? With something this small you can get away with just using higher end business phones or cordless phones. They are coming rather feature rich now and each phone can be an extension w/o the need for a true PBX system. If you wanted to go with more features or more lines that 4 and less than 12 then you need to look into a true PBX or VoIP solution. From there the more features the more $$$ is basically how it's going to go. For simplicity and not wanting to manage an in house PBX or VoIP getting a Centrex solution is going to be the best bet.

A friend of mine is opening an office in Carson City and is going to need a phone system setup for about a dozen stations. Does anybody on this list do that sort of thing or know a good person/company who does? Thanks for any help. _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
