Simple Internal Phone System Question

Feb 26, 2008 1 Replies

We have the need for a very simple internal phone system with no outside access needed and would like any input on the best and cheapest solution to accomplish the following:



Total of 4 phones in seperate rooms. When any of those phones are picked up they need to automatically call the operator (5th) phone. The operator phone needs to know which phone is calling and should be able to call any other the other phones. That's it- no phones need to call anything outside, in fact the 4 phones don't even need any buttons.



All suggestions are much appreciated!


My system of choice would be a Panasonic TA-624 or better. It has Manual ringdown lines and allows single line sets. Phones with blank faceplates probably cost more that phones with dials, but any industry standard phone can be used on the Panasonic. You'd need one system phone, both to program and see who's calling and you're good to go.

You can probably pick up a system in the used market for less than $300.
