When the internet came along and became mainstream, some businesses and companies adopted it. Despite the fact that the internet brought convenience to every company, the use of the phone to keep the lines between customers open still remained. Most of the businesses remained it. It is one of the easiest way to communicate. Having a phone system in your establishment can greatly increase the communication and productivity. It is far better than having many phones in individual lines. This is different from the one we always use.

Each may differ from one another when it comes to the type, its size and features as well as the provider. But they also do have common characteristics. That characteristics will give you a better understanding the one you currently have. Identify the kinds of office phone systems before you understand how it works.

There are two types, the basic type. These types are the multiline and private branch exchange. The two have various degrees of complexity, but they are the same. The simplest is the standard multiline. It can give an approximately maximum of eight to ten phones from a single line. Each usually displays 1, 2 to 10 on each extension.

Private branch exchange is also known as the PBX system. Most of bigger companies use this automatic one. This PBX can give you a choice to have automation and some additional lines that will make the central receptionist useless.

Depending on possible options multiline phones work in different ways. For basic systems, each have different numbers. When a line receives a call, the light will blink and it will ring. But if someone is using the line, the caller will get a voicemail or a busy signal. They also have features like call transferring, voicemail and a speaker that will allow a receptionist to buzz employees for an incoming call.

PBX and multiline systems are closely doing the same jobs. They differ in just one factor, that this PBX system does not need any human assistance. Any incoming call will pass through this electronic buffer that will go directly to the central receiving area. Depending on how many times it is dialed by the caller.

When a central number is dialed, it will give you an option to dial the extension and listen to the automated list of extension numbers to pick from and connect. You can also immediately connect to the extension by just dialing it directly.

This one will provide you let you connect internally. Even without using a line outside, you can use this to connect to other extensions. Just press the last three digits of the number. Mostly, this type will need you to add a number before you place a call, in order for you to connect to an outside line.

A size of a business or company will not matter. Big or small, it should establish a good communication, for it is an important element for a successful one. It will make you keep track of important meetings and possible clients. It will also make you manage everything easily. Indeed, communication is an important element in the business and in the world.
