Analogue Phones For Business | Comms Warehouse

New and Refurbished Analogue Phones for Business

An analogue phone is a corded phone that works on a standard analogue line or on an analogue extension port of a phone system, with no network connection or software. As UK landlines move to digital services, an analogue phone can keep working through the phone port on your provider’s router or an analogue telephone adaptor (ATA).

This range covers single-line desk phones, two-line phones and analogue conference phones from Panasonic, Polycom, Aastra, ATL, Interquartz, Ericsson, BT Business, Siemens, Avaya, NEC and Samsung. It suits receptions, warehouses, meeting rooms and shared areas. For cordless models, see Cordless Phone.

How to choose an analogue phone

Check where it plugs in

An analogue phone works on an analogue line, an analogue extension port, a router phone port or an ATA. It will not run on a digital or IP extension port. For those, see Digital Phone or IP Phone.

Caller ID and display

If you need to see who is calling, choose a model with caller display, such as the NEC C822 CLI phone. The line or system port must also send caller ID for the number to appear.

One line or two

Most analogue phones here are single-line. A two-line phone, such as the Polycom SoundPoint Pro SE-225, handles two analogue lines on one desk. Memory keys speed up calls to numbers you dial often.

Analogue conference phones

For small meeting rooms on an analogue line, an analogue conference phone such as the Polycom VoiceStation 300 or VTX 1000 picks up voices around a table. For other connection types, see Conference Phone.

Simple shared-area phones

Basic models such as the Interquartz IQ10 and the ATL Berkshire range suit kitchens, warehouses and back offices. They have few features, so anyone can pick one up and make a call.

Questions

What is an analogue phone?

An analogue phone is a basic corded phone that carries your voice as an electrical signal over a copper telephone line. It needs no network, software or system licence. It works on a standard analogue line or on an analogue extension port of a business phone system.

Will an analogue phone still work after the UK landline switch-off?

In most cases yes, through an adaptor. When your line moves to a digital service, you plug the analogue phone into the phone port on your provider's router or into an ATA. Check with your provider that the port suits your phone, especially for alarm or lift lines.

Can I use an analogue phone on a business phone system?

Yes, if the system has an unused analogue extension port. Most business phone systems have some analogue ports for fax machines, door phones and basic handsets. A digital or IP extension port will not work with an analogue phone.

Do you sell analogue cordless phones?

Yes, cordless phones that plug into an analogue line, such as BT Business DECT sets, are listed under Cordless Phone. This page covers corded analogue phones and analogue conference phones only.

What is the difference between an analogue and a digital phone?

An analogue phone works on any standard analogue line or port, whatever the make. A digital phone uses its maker's own signalling and only works on that maker's system. If you are replacing a handset on an Avaya, Panasonic or NEC system, check which type you have first.
