"3 CO lines, 8 station ports". Does that mean it allows for 3 incoming phone lines (if the company has multiple numbers) and up to 8 employee phones?

Yes, allows for 3 invoking numbers for a carrier like AT&T.; And 8 physical telephones for employees known as extensions.

We can also order through Amazon the additional cards if you need more than 3 lines and/or 8 phones. The next card would be 3 CO x 8 Station, which will take the system to 6x16. Then finally if needed the last card of this type that you can install is 2 CO x 8 Stations. This would max out the line capacity at 8 and stations at 24. We will be listing more inventory today of the cards and a wide variety of phones as well as voicemail laterthis am if you need assistance with putting together parts list. We would be happy to help in anyway we can regardless of where you get your system.

Yes it does.The best idea you can get of what the KX-TA824 does is to go to the Panasonic web site and download the User Manual for it. You will see that it can do a tremendous amount of things for a small company or a complicated home.I got rid of my telcom, for cost reasons, and use cell phones to the outside. So I don't use the 3 CO lines. However, I do use the 8 internal lines as an intercom system to connect four separate buildings, with all 8 internal lines used as intercom phones. It works great.But according to the User Manual I guess I am probably only using only a few percent of the features that the unit supports.I am very pleased with it.

Yes, you are right. A CO is a phone line coming in from the phone company's "Central Office", and stations are the extensions. It is also expandable up to 8 CO's, and 24 extensions. I installed one of these a few months ago, and it worked perfectly. It was the lowest price PBX I've ever installed. Programming was easy through the included software.

Yes that system comes out of the box to support 3 incoming lines from the telephone company and 8 employee telephones. The system is expandable up to 8 incoming lines from the telephone company and 24 employee telephones. Those 24 ports can also support other things such as voicemail ports or cordless etc.

if you blue-tooth link 2 cellular/mobile phones, that would be a phone "like it had multiple lines", which is a single phone with multiple lines, when actually it is a phone with 2 lines connected, that come from multiple mobile phones.

yes we have three lines and they rotate when it is busy. I have a v/m set from our carrier when all three are busy the call rolls to voicemail.

That is one of the nice things about this system... simply plug them into the phone jacks and they worked great. I have 4 lines and 8 extensions and no problems yet. They auto-find/name or you can assign names/numbers to the extensions.

It has up to 5 groups of callers. Way more than one would need. It's a great phone. You won't be sorry

We purchased these for our new VoIP system/phones. These phones have 8 lines. The problem is that we haven't transitioned to the VoIP system yet so I can't tell you how well they work. This model was recommended by our IT dept as compatible with our particular model ShoreTel phones.

Yes, it's 4 single lines in, 6 out for each line. It's meant for paired lines, like a phone, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with multiple pairs. I use it just for a regular single phone connection, though.

It's a voice over IP device. It can handle up to 5 cordless handsets plus the corded phone. It can handle at least 6 parallel conversations (plus presumably some conversations on hold). So if you made an analogy with a traditional pbx lines phone, this would be a 6 or 8 lines handset.

Yes, that is no problem, It's like having two separate phones. There is an indicator that tells you when either line 1 or 2 is in use.
2088276
I'm not an expert but it looks to me that you would need a second unit to handle the second line. It works very, very well. Haven't had any calls ring my phone that I didn't want to answer. Does block caller ID but who cares now.

I don't think it has anything to do with the number of phones. Phone(s) just have to have Bluetooth capability. You have to sync it to each Bluetooth phone once - then it is permanently set up. Works very well; just need to keep battery charged.

You would need a blocker for each incoming phone line. The number of phones is irrelevant.

I doubt if it will work as each unit only has 4 addresses, ie: 1 thru 4. So if you want to have 8 stations, you'll have 2 of each address
1995894
No, picking up a second handset just joins you with the current call. You would need multiple lines to accomplish that, as a business might have
1855202
No, these are single line phones. Any ad will specifically state number of lines accepted if it is a multiple line system.

It's actually 3-line. You can have 3 incoming/outgoing calls simultaneously. The base supports up to 6 handsets and 8 SIP trunks.

Edited: you can assign any combination of 8 lines/extensions to ring the base or each of 6 handsets. There are also separate controls for "Grouping Handset/Handset selection for receiving calls", and "Handset and Line No. selection for making calls", so you can also assign different extensions for outgoing calls.
