Customer Reviews

Works on only a SINGLE phone line!!!
I purchased this unit plus the additional microphones and it is a great unit with a good price. We haven't even used it but are returning it! None of the literature on this site or even on the Polycom site explains that it will ONLY work on a single phone line. We have analog lines so that was not an issue. However like any business, we have multiple lines. And, this unit cannot work on a multi-line system. It worked fine when I hooked to our fax line. But NO dial tone when hooked to any other phone jack in our building. It is a shame that the company does NOT provide this critical key piece of information. I think this is true of ALL of their products. For the cost of the equipment, this should be disclosed!!!

It is only for Analogic Lines
The console works really good, but only if placed to an analogic line, it won't work on Digital Lines.
There should be a warning on the description about it.

Quality Phone
This phone is a good quality phone. When on speaker, typically during conference calls, the sound is crystal clear. And the people on the other end have no trouble at all distinguishing your words. I also purchased the 2 additional mics which compliment quite well. If you plan on getting the mics, make sure you get the expandable version of this Polycom SoundStation2. There are many versions that are similar to this one, and it's easy to get them confused. I definitely recommend this phone!
