Determine Why You Need a Handset
To decide which handset is right for your business, you have to identify which telecommunications system is best suits your needs. But before deciding on which telecommunications system to go with, there are a few questions you will need to answer first:
- Do you require a full phone system that will only be present only in the office desk or is an IP phone, with a mobile connection, better suited to your business?
- If you need in-premise desk telephones, what kind of service do you want? You would need to choose between a landline telephone service, which is provided by a local or regional phone company, and a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system, which runs over the internet (cloud-based).
- If you choose VoIP, do you want to house the system at your business (on-premises) or have it hosted through an internet connection by your service provider?

Basic Desk Handset Phones
Basic desk phones are entry-level handsets. These phones are very cost-effective and have the ability to connect to more than one line. This means that fewer clients will be placed on hold waiting for their calls to be answered. If you require a landline phone connection for your home or even a small business with fewer than 8 employees, then this handset may be the best option for you.
Cordless Handsets
Cordless handsets allow your employees more mobility as it is accessible from any location while allowing you to maintain a professional face to customers and suppliers. Our cordless handsets are cost-effective and are perfect for businesses who have employees who work in various locations, whether you are a small or medium-sized business.
