Find a Business Phone

This web page was created to give you information and resources to help you find a business phone. The business telephone is the lifeblood of a company; choosing the right telephone system and the right telephone is a critical decision. How do you find a business telephone number?

Begin by mapping out on paper how many offices you have in your business and which ones need telephones. Remember to include extra necessities like faxes, credit card machines, and Internet connections. In order to decide what kind of phone you need in each location, determine the function for that location. For example:

• Do you need to see each telephone line or will one button do?
• Is it a speaker phone for a conference room?
• Will an executive with a secretary or a receptionist be using this telephone?
• Do you need a less expensive telephone for courtesy calls in a lobby or telephone calls from the break room?

Next, decide how many lines you need. In general you need one line for every two or three people. Remember that extra lines not being used can add up to hundreds of extra dollars every month.
