5.0 out of 5 stars Advice to the Novice- Digital vs. Analog, January 7, 2010

From reading some of the reviews I notice that some of you don't realize that a digital phone is not the same type of phone that you use at home an will NOT work on an analog signal which is what you have at home. Actually, a digital phone is not a phone at all but is in fact, a terminal which is programed via a computer. Digital phones operate exclusively with the use of a phone system such as IP-Office, Definity, etc. These types of systems use a digital signal to translate voice and data into legible information at a much faster pace as a stream of information running in a straight line. Analog data is basically an undulating sound wave, moving up and down and is much slower. A digital phone won't work in an analog environment and an analog phone won't work in a digital environment. They don't speak the same language. A phone system will typically have special analog cards as part of the system in order for faxes and modems to work in your office; these types of devices are almost always analog. The 6408-D (the "D" stands for digital) is a reliable, well built, user friendly, workhorse and is a great phone for any office using a digital voice/data system only. It is not a suitable phone for home use or even many small offices that typically have only a few telephone lines and will not work there. For that you will need a POT (plain ole telephone) that uses a POTS (plain ole telephone signal) yes, POTS means exactly that... I hope this mini phone lesson clears up some of the confusion.

At the time of this posting, there was another "review". That person apparently thought you could just plug this phone into a regular phone line (what a clown)! This, of course, is a business phone system, so you will need a PBX line for it to work (not a typical POTS line). As long as you have a PBX line, or get it installed, you will love this phone. A+++ all the way around!

1.0 out of 5 stars Can't use it from home orffice, January 23, 2009

By 

DC - See all my reviews

I use this same phone at work. As I work from home alot, and I have the Plantronics CS50 Wireless Headset system (which I know works with this phone), I ordered the phone for my home office. When I connected this phone to the phone line, all I got was a high-pitched noise. Couldn't dial a number or do anything. I checked the line with a regular phone and it's fine.

I am very, very dissappointed.
