Nortel Phone System Options
Considerations for Nortel phone system purchases are the same for any small business phone system:
- How many lines and extensions are needed? Count one extension per person and, generally, one line per two to three people.
- Decide on system technology and platform. Businesses still use the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network), although many also choose VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) or a hybrid solution.
- Will the system be located on premises or hosted offsite? A hosted solution makes better economic sense for larger, geographically distributed companies
- Determine necessary business phone features to help balance costs and productivity.
- How much data is needed for VoIP and hybrid plans? Pay-as-you-go plans often end up costing more than unlimited plans due to overage charges.
