Review Summary
Ideal for growing smaller businesses, the Panasonic 8 x 24 Phone System is an expandable system that supports three incoming lines and up to eight telephone stations but can be expanded to eight incoming lines and 24 telephone stations with expansion cards (sold separately). This feature-rich system offers virtually all features found in much larger commercial phone systems: You'll get Caller ID, an auto-attendant and single-line device connectivity without installing adapter cards that ordinarily cost hundreds of dollars. Three LCD Speakerphones are included with this kit; additional Panasonic LCD Speakerphones are sold separately.
The built-in DISA (Direct Inward System Access) feature provides a simplified "auto-attendant" with up to three levels of single-digit voice-prompts (for example, "For sales press 1, for returns press 2"). After the first number is pressed, the directory can then open to another menu, ("For Tech Sales press 1, for Outdoor Sales 2"). This can go three levels deep without upgrades. The DISA will also automatically connect incoming fax transmissions to your specified fax extension, eliminating the need for a dedicated fax line.
The Panasonic 8 x 24 Phone System can pass Caller ID information both to the included Panasonic proprietary phones and to single-line devices, such as fax machines, answering machines and modems. Unlike many phone systems, the Panasonic 8 x 24 Phone System allows you to connect many types of single-line devices without the need for additional cards or modules. On the LCD phones, the Caller ID information shows up on the LCD screen, even if the user is on a call, so they can screen calls at a glance.
