Residential phone system assistance 4

[479]

Good afternoon.

I currently have in place a 19 extension Merlin Legend PBX installed in my house. I am looking into replacing it with a new system designed for home use and is more user friendly with just basic overview to the other users of the system. The following features are a must.

1) back lit caller ID with call waiting ID
2) Line assignment - The line(s) each extension accesses should be assignable some will have all some will have all lines others will only have one.
3) 3 incoming standard phone lines

I can get away with 11 extensions if need be.


Thanks for any recommendations anyone can make!

Hi all,

Wanted to thank you all for your input. It has been a few months since I replaced my old Merlin Legend system with a new Panasonic 824 system.
For the most part, this system has worked out great! From the call waiting caller ID, to the backlit LCD, the back ground music, easy programing through the laptop using USB there are more positives to this system than negatives.

The biggest negative for me with the system is you can not set up a phone to get caller ID records for a specific phone line. Meaning the phone in the kitchen that does NOT have the business line programed to it would still get the records for all lines. Which is unfortunate.

Another thing that has proved to be a challenge is remembering which memory button goes with what label! The buttons are directly across from each other, yet the labels are on top of each other ... kind of confusing.

Other than those two small "issues" this system has worked out very well for us and I'm very happy with it. MUCH better than the old Merlin Legend.

Thanks everyone for your assistance in picking out this system.
