Which phone system for small business - Devon, UK?

Question

My friend is setting up a small business in Devon, UK. He will only have himself and 2 employees to begin with so I'm wondering what kind of small-scale phone system would be best to use. Possibility of expansion would be good. Are there any good systems from BT?

Cheers

Answer 1

Go onto the BT website and take your pick. They also have advisers.

I rate BT excellent.  Here in Cornwall.

Answer 2

They are the obvious choice with which to start. Take a look at the BT Shop web site ! ! !

Answer 3

I run a small business from UK and travel around Europe. Manning the phone and meeting potential customers is not an easy task, I have an 0845 number which gets diverted to my mobile where ever I am in the world. Try Planet numbers they have all sorts of deal for SMEs and are (I found the cheapest). try http://www.planet-numbers.co.uk/

Answer 4

I am a director of a telecoms company based in cardiff.. we sell in direct competition to BT

But if it is just a few people, he can buy a small basic home office system from BT and no-one will be the price, a small Inspiration will do the trick, but go to any BT shop and they will help out. Alternatively if only one person is going to be on the phone at a time, he could buy a multi pack of diverse cordless, again from BT

He will be able to run broadband on the line, or if he wanted a seperate fax line the broadband could go on that

Our small systems start at £1500, and the BT kit is way way cheaper, they have the small home market sewn up, just make sure you dont buy on a rental contract otherwise you will pay over the odds
