What should I look for in a business phone?

Question

I am starting small business and need a phone recommendation, what features should I look for?

Answer 1

We run a business,but we use only cell phones.It's convient for us,but we also have a cash only policy.So,if you need a fax,credit card,etc...This may not be an option.However,if you only need an credit card machine you could go wireless with the credit card machine as well as get wireless internet.That's what we got just cost more money to have the credit card machine.Make sure you read the fine print of anything you sign though.Especially,for a business line.That's why we stick to cell phones.

Answer 2

i run my own business the key is cheap and cheerful not worth having a flashy phone unless your a merchant banker which i am no longer. get something hard wearing, free minutes, free texts, free phone and cheap line rental. i got mine from www.mobilephonebazaar.co.uk ive been with them a couple of years now as they return my line rental back basically i got a completely free contract. your phone bills will be deducted from your bottom line so smaller the phone bill bigger your profits. if your using all your minutes get another free contract just for calling out which is easily done why pay for a higher tariff when you dont have to pay at all.

Answer 3
