IP PBX Business Phone Systems do offer the flexibility of connecting your analog or landlines if you are still allergic to VOIP Lines.

Which is great. Because an IP PBX offers lots more features and full scalability at the same entry level price for a similarly configured key or traditional phone system. The key words are “same entry level price”. Yes, I don’t think IP PBX Phone systems are cheaper than key / traditional phone systems.

In fact in certain popular models they are often expensive if you are buying upto 10 extensions or phones.

Anyways, coming back to my original point….if you do hook up your landlines to the IP PBX Analog Gateway, you have the reliablility and quality of a regular phone line with the feature set of an IP PBX serving you.

But if you use the * features on the lines such as, voicemail, blocking caller ID, call forwarding, last number called etc which are features provided by the phone company…don’t be surprised if you are not able to use any of them.

Which kinda sucks if you have a good reason to use them.

Another reason why you would want to consider a traditional phone system like the Panasonic, Nortel, Avaya, Samsung, NEC, Toshiba key telephone systems.

Believe it or not, the key telephone system gives you the same dial tone that you would hear if you were using a regular home phone connected to your landline. During the wet season, you would actually hear a crackle or static if the connection is faulty, or dead air if the line is actually dead from the phone company.

Also you will be able to use all the ” * ” features provided on the line for voicemail, caller id block, call waiting, last number redial etc.
