Description:
The IBM 412 four-line corded unit is geared for home-office workers who need a no-frills telephone but with important features, including four-line operation, support for systems using up to 12 extensions, and intercom with all- system page. It's a versatile unit that can handle a wide range of needs.What separates the IBM-412 from similar units, such as AT&T's 954 speakerphone or IBM's own 412-CID, is the lack of an LCD screen. So while you can store up to 24 numbers in the unit's speed dial memory, you'll have to remember exactly what those numbers are or write them on the button labels. This also means the 412 can't support caller ID directly, so you'll have to purchase a separate caller ID box. The features the IBM-412 does offer, however, are strong. You can store pauses and flashes into speed-dial numbers, for example, and support for systems that include up to 12 extensions means the 412 can expand as your business needs grow. Also, like other business phones, the IBM-412 features call transfer, 12 one-touch intercom buttons, call privacy, and a PC/fax data port. The speakerphone mode works well, providing clear reception on both ends of the conversation. If you can do without caller ID and high-end features, the IBM- 412 is an excellent choice to include in your home office or small business. --John Frederick Moore Pros: - Supports 4 lines and systems with up to 12 extensions
