Choosing a business telephone system that fits your business needs is so important to ensuring that your business is successful. NEC phones are a great choice for many business owners because they’re flexible and customizable, and a popular option for many of our customers. Once your phone system gets installed you want to make sure you’re using all its features and keeping up with general maintenance. Telephone training is something you should also consider for you and your staff so you can optimize all your phone’s features.

Significant Update for NEC Users: Urgent Information
As of 2024, premise-based NEC phone systems are no longer supported by NEC Corporation. This means that if you’re using one of the systems listed above, your phone will no longer receive critical security and feature updates that help protect and enhance your business phone. While your phone system may continue work for some time, parts will become more difficult to find and service providers will no longer be able to maintain your phones. We strongly encourage you consider switching to a VoIP provider.
Over the past several years, we have seen many traditional phone system providers discontinue their phone systems to embrace VoIP and UCaaS technology. We anticipate this trend will continue as the market turns to more efficient telecommunications. Rhode Island Telephone is available to help support your business telecom success. Contact us for more information or to learn about switching to VoIP.
