2-line wireless phone system (4 phones) ?

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. Does anyone know if there is a way to process credit cards via a wireless phone? Besides the voice authorization feature.

A. I have seen many cell based CC swipe devices at trade shows. They work just like the traditional type. Another method would probably be, although I haven't researched it, using a wireless web capable Palm type device or cell phone and a web based CC system such as www.propay.com. I believe many of the CC processors have a web based "virtual" terminal for processing cards. If they have a cell capable page, you're all set. The first result that came up when I searched Google for "credit card terminal cell phone" (without the quotes) showed several options. If you check the voltage on the terminal you should be able to power it with batteries. Every one that I have seen uses some type of 110v adapter and I would guess the actual voltage is probably 8 or 12v DC. A large lantern battery of the proper voltage should work. Check with the manufacturer. Siemens 2-line phone w/call display, call answer, intercom & 3 (three!) cordless extensions (2.8 Gig) w/call display & chargers w/batteries (new), $250 (everything NEW in box w/manuals). This is a great system from Siemens. Ideal for business or busy household. I bought this system less than a year ago but never got around to using it. Now my needs have changed so it is for sale.
