TalkSwitch, a phone systems developer, today announced the availability of its
TS-850i cordless Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications phone for small businesses.
Small businesses that opt for cordless phones often sacrifice important functional features of traditional phones. The TS-850i cordless phones integrates a full set of TalkSwitch (

Alert) phone system features, allowing users to break away from the desktop while retaining full TalkSwitch IP-PBX phone system functionality.
The device suits business users in warehouses, retail stores, manufacturing facilities, and teleworkers. The phone uses Session Initiation Protocol (

“This phone is built for outstanding performance and value,” said Jan Scheeren, president and chief executive officer at TalkSwitch. “We are committed to delivering small business customers the most owner-friendly, powerful and cost-effective phone systems on the market.”
With its sturdy construction, the TS-850i – pictured right – features a high-quality speakerphone and 8 hours talk time or 240 hours standby time per charge. Its ranges up to 1,000 feet outside and 150 feet inside.
Also included are features such as auto-detection and configuration of the handsets and multiple handset per base capability. It is also provided with additional functional features such as caller ID, backlit color display, message waiting light, 6 levels of ringer volume, adjustable key sounds, call log for incoming, outgoing and missed calls, 170-entry phone book, and speed dial.
Featuring DECT (

The complete TS-850i set, a base and a handset, is $299 and extra handsets with chargers are $149 each. Each base supports a maximum of eight handsets and each user can use up to five bases per location.
