See our Phone Comparison Chart for a table showing how various Talkswitch phones differ. The Polycom 301 phone(s) included in this bundle are IP (VOIP) phones at a great price, they are the least expensive Polycom IP phone that is auto provisioned by Talkswitch. This item typically ships in 3 days as it is special order. The Polycom 301 uses a power adapter, not POE. This phone is not a speakerphone. The phone can take two calls at one time when you enable the Talkswitch "call waiting" feature (not phone company call waiting), each "line" button functions as a call button (this is more convenient than the way analog phones work). None of the SIP phones allow hands free intercom or paging though, only Talkswitch analog phones can do that. IP phones are a little more work to install than analog phones, but not too bad. Please note the IP phones can only be used as local extensions on the same network segment as the Talkswitch.
Talkswitch 488VS is the owner-friendly™ hybrid analog / IP phone system. The Talkswitch 488VS is a member of the Talkswitch family of products. It is an expandable analog / IP PBX system. A single Talkswitch 488VS has up to 4 analog phone lines, 8 VOIP phone lines or paths, 8 analog or IP extensions, and an additional 8 IP extensions for a total of 16 extensions. You can hook up to 4 Talkswitch models (mix and match) together (networked). Hooking multiple units together adds together each boxes incoming lines, VOIP trunks, local extensions, and remote extensions, functioning as a single integrated phone system. As an example, 4 Talkswitch 488VS hooked together provides 16 analog incoming lines, 32 VOIP phone lines or paths, 32 analog or IP local extensions, an additional 32 IP extensions, and 40 remote extensions. It functions as one phone system. On a Talkswitch 488VS, you can program up to 10 remote extensions (off site), these can be cell phones or anything else with a phone number. VOIP paths can be used for 3 purposes, they are shared for all 3 uses. The first use is to register VOIP phone lines, using a Talkswitch SIPConnect partner, no ATA or VOIP adapter needed. Secondly, the Talkswitch 488VS supports remote IP phones as local extensions, great for Teleworkers, you can have up to 8 active calls from Teleworkers at the same time. The third use is to link multiple offices together via VOIP with no provider (i.e. free), you can have up to 8 calls at the same time between offices. Talkswitch 488VS IP PBX uses analog phones or IP phones for local extensions. The Talkswitch 488VS IP PBX is ideal for small companies who wish to utilize analog and VOIP lines with mostly analog phones, adding on to an existing system, and much more. Talkswitch 488VS functions as a PBX system or similar to a key system, depending on your phone choice.
If you have considered or purchased a Talkswitch system before, check out the new features of software version 5.0. These include remote IP phone support as local extensions, additional IP extensions for a total of 16 extensions per box, additional voicemail boxes for a total of 36, up to 2 hours of voicemail or recordings, multilingual interface, line and queue appearance, and other improvements.
We offer extensions to the Talkswitch 488VS IP PBX warranty, select the option above. This extension adds 2 years to the one 1 year Talkswitch warranty, and covers the Talkswitch 488VS. The limitations and terms are the same as the Talkswitch 488VS Warranty. Surge Protection for your Talkswitch 488VS can be added. The most likely reason your Talkswitch 488VS will fail over time is surge related damage, not necessarily lightning. We offer guaranteed protection, assuming you hook it up properly, it *will* protect your system. Properly hooked up means the Talkswitch 488VS, the LAN connector, incoming analog phone line ports, and analog extension ports that go to powered devices must all be hooked up to the same protector. So, even if you have a UPS, you still need these devices to protect your system. Our system has protection for 4 power cords, 1 LAN connector, and, some number of phone ports, pick the appropriate number for your Talkswitch 488VS system. If for example you pick "4 ports", this means a total of 4 incoming analog lines and analog extensions running to your Talkswitch 488VS. So, "Ports" refers to the total of powered analog extension phones, fax machines, or other analog devices, and, incoming analog lines.
