The KX-TD816 handles up to eight incoming lines and 16 extensions, with voicemail, distinctive rings, and an optional automated attendant that plays frontline receptionist.
Installation requires manual labor or consultant time.
When you're away from home, a cell, pager, or long-distance number can be your remote extension. Like a pushy receptionist, the box asks for the caller's name, then dials you at, say, your hotel. It announces the caller and lets you choose to talk, forward, or dump to voicemail. A modest but well-chosen feature set makes programming simple. At root, the 2420 is a desk station plugged into a standard jack.
