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.
The multiline and the private branch exchange systems are two of the basic types. These two are closely the same in function, but they differ in the degree of complexity. A multiline is the simplest of all. It can have a maximum of eight to ten approximately, in a single line. An extension will display lines from one to ten.
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.
If you will dial the central number they will allow you to listen to an automated list of extension numbers and allow you to choose which number you want to be connected. But you can skip that, if you want to immediately connect to an extension by directly dialing the extension number.
PBX systems can also provide and allow you to internally connect. Without using any outside line, your employees can use the phone to dial the other office extensions. It can possibly be done pressing or dialing the last three digits of the number. Most PBX systems, you need to take in an additional number before you place the call. And you will be able to place an outgoing call and enter a line outside.
Communication is a very essential part of life, as well as to business success. Whether it is a big one or small, you need to create and maintain a good communication with your clients. It will make your life easy, especially when arranging meetings with clients. So keep your communication lines open.
