• Cabling and installation costs
• Handset upgrades or expansions for staff who handle large volumes of calls such as receptionists
• Wireless or wired headsets
• Wireless handsets for mobile staff in locations such as warehouses, mines and farms
Experts say that if your mission is to save money in this, you have the option of buying a used system as this could reduce the expenses into half.
• The good thing about these used business phone systems is that they are cleaned, tested and refurbished and look and feel like new.
Consider business phone system features and integration
• Before buying, it would be really fruitful for you if you consider the features of these systems that you actually want for your business.
• The reason is that these systems come with a whole list of features, but not all of them could be of your use.
• Therefore, it’s important to sit down with your staff members and seek their suggestions on the most important features and pen down all of them.

• Voicemail And Individual Voicemail Inboxes
