Looking for Inexpensive Small Business PBX Solution ?

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. I'm looking for a very inexpensive PBX or other type of solution that can accomodate a small home business. I know next to nothing about PBX's, so I will need some well explained details. I would be willing to sacrifice some features to keep the cost down. I need something that can perform the following: We have one business line with an 800 number. We want to maintain only one phone line for incoming and outgoing calls. Minimally we need 2 phones, with the ability to expand. Would like to be able to just use any analog phone, or at least a fairly inexpensive digital phone.

A. The gadget I just ordered to use as a telemarketer blocker might be just what you are looking for since it is really designed as an inexpensive PBX. Check out: http://www.avinta.com/products-1/trivox/home/trivoxhme.htm The only problem might be that they could be hard to get since they were just written up in a cnn.com article on telemarketer blocking devices. I'm still waiting on mine to ship :-). For PBX use, you basically have one of these for each phone and add an answering machine up front to tell folks what numbers to press to get to each extension. Panasonic KXTA or Avaya Partner ACS. All Pana ports support single line sets, the ACS supports 2 single line sets for each 8 ports (waste of money).
