As the song goes, all things must pass. When talking small business phone systems, this is a tried and true belief. But opinions are divided about the average lifespan of a business phone system - the experts believe five to seven years is a realistic figure, but depending on the type of business among other factors, this figure can certainly change up a bit.
If a phone system becomes too small for a fast-growing company, chances are that they would soon consider the system obsolete and look for something bigger and better, provided their growth justifies the need for such. Conversely, companies that have been in existence for a while and grow slowly but steadily while planning well in advance can use the same business phone system for a decade or even more.
It is a sad fact of life that business phone systems are not as reliable or trustworthy as they used to be, despite the rapid growth of production and the automation process involved. Of course, this varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer, but generally speaking, the business phones of old were workhorses that could survive just about any type of abuse and continue to perform well year after year after year. This is a strange and peculiar occurrence indeed, but often to no fault of the manufacturer.
Technological advancements in recent years have forced manufacturers to incorporate fragile components into their products that, for the most part, remain untested in regard to their ability to handle extended years of everyday use and abuse. It then becomes easy to understand why these modern products can often be dodgy in general or unable to function properly in one way or another.
The phone's internal parts are pretty much the same as they were since several decades ago, so chances are the LCD display would give in before the phone mechanism itself and leave you with a rubbish business phone in the process. In summation, business phone systems are not all that they are hepped up to be in terms of technological advancements. Buy something super state of the art and you are likely over paying. And if you buy a dinosaur of a product, it may not be compatible with your needs. It's best to keep two philosophies in mind... newer isn't always better and, you get what you pay for.
