They actually work in the same way that a normal phone operates, except they allow you to enjoy the benefits that come hand-in-hand with having multiple lines and enhanced functionality.<\/p>\n<p>This means your business will not only be able to accept multiple calls at once, but you will also be able to successfully screen calls before passing them onto another team member.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you would like to assign each member of your team with their own number that can be dialled directly to their handset, or you want all of your team members to be able to dial out to external numbers, multi-line phone systems are great communication systems that can be integrated into many different business environments.[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div class=\"highlight-box\">\n <div

best.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h1&Prime;]\n<h3>Benefits of a multi-line phone system<\/h3>\n<p>Multi-line phones work differently depending on the option you go for, however, they all allow you to receive multiple calls at the same time. For example, if you have three incoming calls at once, they will go through to different lines.<\/p>\n<p>Other universal features that you can expect to enjoy include a convenient voicemail system and call transfer, as well as a speaker system that allows receptionists or customer-facing staff to alert team members of any incoming calls.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, a PBX system performs all of the same tasks but without human interaction. Instead, all incoming calls are received through an electronic receiving area.<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ve compared the features of both systems below:<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p><table id=\"tablepress-329\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-329\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Feature<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Multi-line<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">PBX<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Receive multiple calls simultaneously<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Yes<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Voicemail<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Yes<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Call transfer<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Yes<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Speaker system<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Yes<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Human interaction<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Yes<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Electronic receiving area<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">No<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Yes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h1&Prime;]\n<h3>More about how PBX phone systems work<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Incoming customer calls go to a central receiving area, where customers are presented with a set of options for which area of the business they wish to contact. For example: &ldquo;Press one for sales, two for customer services, three for invoices.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, should the caller dial one of the extension lines directly, they can bypass this automated central system completely and connect to the extension. For example, if a central number is 020-7180, direct extension numbers can be numbers such as 020-7181 and 020-7182.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Should employees wish to contact other departments or employees internally, they can then can just dial the extension number (e.g 182) without using the outside line.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What about VoIP phone systems?<\/h3>\n<p>Multi-line and PBX systems are not the only options available to small businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of companies are installing VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) office phone systems to fulfill their business needs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">VoIP office telephones are the most modern, and popular office phone systems on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Using your business&rsquo;s internet connection to host calls rather than through traditional analog signals, VoIP allows for both video and voice chat. As a result, VoIP systems require very little hardware, with a desktop VoIP phone being able to connect to the internet via an ethernet cable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your VoIP office telephone system will be managed via an app from your provider, so you will simply need a VoIP desktop phone for each user.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A big benefit for your business: calls are essentially free, even international ones, once your broadband or mobile data plans are paid for.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p><div class=\"highlight-box\">\n <div

We then gave each category score a &lsquo;relevance weighting' to ensure the product's final score perfectly reflects the needs of our Startups.co.uk readers.<\/p>\n<h3>Our main testing categories for VoIP systems are:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Customer Score:<\/strong> external customer opinion as to their satisfaction; the feedback and ratings given by customers who have used a particular VoIP product. Also, the market position and reputation a VoIP software holds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost:<\/strong> the pricing structure associated with the VoIP service, such as monthly subscription fees, call rates, and setup fees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features:<\/strong> the functionalities and capabilities offered by the VoIP service, e.g. call forwarding, voicemail, call waiting, and caller ID.<\/p>\n<p><strong>External Connections:<\/strong> the VoIP service's ability to connect and integrate with external systems or devices, including compatibility with existing phone systems and integration with mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customer Support:<\/strong> the assistance and resources provided by the VoIP service provider to customers, such as technical support, documentation, and online resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Security Options:<\/strong> the measures and features implemented by the VoIP service to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and protection of voice communications and data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scalability:<\/strong> the ability of the VoIP service to accommodate the growth and changing needs of an organization, such as the capacity to handle a growing number of users or support multiple locations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Startups product testing process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-155032 \" src=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Product-Testing_SU-Test.png\" alt=\"The Startups product testing process diagram\" width=\"700\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Product-Testing_SU-Test.png 2825w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Product-Testing_SU-Test-480x237.png 480w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Product-Testing_SU-Test-640x315.png 640w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Product-Testing_SU-Test-768x378.png 768w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Product-Testing_SU-Test-1536x757.png 1536w, https:\/\/images.startups.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Product-Testing_SU-Test-2048x1009.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jumplink-anchor-section\">\n <div class=\"jumplink-anchor-pointer\" id=\"link-next-steps-comparing-the-best-multi-line-phone-systems\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_column_text title_type=&rdquo;h2&Prime; title=&rdquo;Compare multi-line phone systems&rdquo;]\n<h2>Next steps: comparing the best multi-line phone systems<\/h2>\n<p>For us at Startups, the best multi-line phone system for small businesses is the <strong>VTech CM18245.<\/strong> It&rsquo;s abundant in features, including auto attendant, customisable hold music, and DECT 6.0 technology to wirelessly connect all of your handsets seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>It does everything you need a multi-line phone system to do, and all for an affordable, fair price compared to other systems like BT Versatility.<\/p>\n<p>Don&rsquo;t get us wrong &ndash; the other providers on this list <em>do<\/em> offer great benefits, like <strong>Polycom VVX 250&rsquo;s<\/strong> amazing sound quality and echo cancellation, and the <strong>AT&T TL88102&rsquo;s <\/strong>four-party conferencing and long handset to deck range.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>BT Versatility<\/strong> is perfect for scalability, with an expansion capability of up to four lines, but the cost is a real negative. And the <strong>AT&T 1070<\/strong> is great for businesses requiring flexibility, with 16 expandable handsets and programming of up to 32-number speed dial options. But it still lacks enough features to be as good as the <strong>VTech CM18245<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of our opinion, you should always compare multi-line phone system providers before signing on the dotted line. The last thing you want is to be stuck in a contract with a service that doesn&rsquo;t fulfil the needs of your business, even if it is, generally speaking, a great product.<\/p>\n<p>This is where our custom-built comparison tool comes in.

Although both systems perform similar tasks, a PBX system receives calls through a centralised receiving area. Multi-line phone systems condense multiple phone lines into a single device, which is answered by an operator who transfers calls to the right employee or department. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n\n\n<li class=\"faq-item\">\n\n <span class=\"faq-question\">\n What is a multiline phone system called? <\/span>\n\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n Multiline phone systems often get confused with over phone systems, including PBX and VoIP. However, each system operates differently so always research the meaning behind the jargon, before purchasing a product. An easy way to break down multiline phone systems is &ndash; imagine a reception area at an office, that has a phone which receives all incoming calls. These calls are answered by a receptionist, who transfers them to the appropriate department. The reception phone can receive multiple calls at once, so customers are put on hold instead of cut off when they try and contact your business. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n\n\n<li class=\"faq-item\">\n\n <span class=\"faq-question\">\n How many phone lines do I need for my business? <\/span>\n\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n This depends entirely on the needs of your business. For example, if you are a small business with only two employees, but you receive a large volume of incoming customer calls, you&rsquo;ll definitely be looking to set up a multiline phone system with either four or five+ lines. The great thing about multiline systems is that you can increase capacity by adding extra lines as your business grows. <\/div>\n<\/li>\n\n\n <\/ul>\n <script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are multiline and PBX phone systems the same thing?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In short, no.
