Have a Norstar customer who is building a huge home and asking me for a cordless system with multiple lines, multiple phones, multiple voicemail boxes and paging, YOW what next?? Anyone know of anything like this?

 
Why not a Norstar w/T7406 sets that act like T7316E sets? I would recommend at least having one T7316E set on the system. You could also try BCM50 w/T7406 sets.
 
The only problem with 7406 phones is that the coverage area is not the best. However, in a house situation with wooden studs that might work.

The T7406 wouldn't be the only phones to be sold in this solution, unless you use external paging. You can page from a T7406, but they aren't a speaker phone. Paging speakers have come a long way and you should be able to find some that would blend with home decor. There are a some things you should think about when proposing this.
1. Do they want paging coverage everywhere?
2. Do they want zoned paging?
3. Do they want paging over the phones? If so, then desk phones are needed.
4. Do they want a purely wireless phone solution? You should have at least one T7316E in the mix...

Think about the questions and the solutions available then propose the best mix for the customer. That's the best I can do for you, since I am also a vendor.
 
The wireless norstar digital phone are expensive and don't have very good range. You could buy analog modules and hook up a cheap cordless from walmart. You can set up paging and voice mail over cordless phones. The flash button becomes the feature button.
