“Joe Campbell is an exceptional guy. We have used him for CCTV, phone systems and internet/wifi set up, and I couldn't recommend him highly enough. He makes life a whole lot easier for us non techy folks!”
The handset on the desk is the part of a phone system people touch a hundred times a day — so it matters that it’s right. Bellcom supplies, configures and supports Yealink IP phones, one of the most widely used business handset ranges in the world. Rather than hand you a catalogue, here’s how to pick by what you actually need. Every phone arrives pre-configured for your system, so it works the moment it’s plugged in.

Simple, sturdy two-line phones for desks that take calls but don’t live on them — a reception counter, a stockroom, a meeting room.

Choosing, mixing and owning
Most businesses mix models — a couple of touchscreens for the office, twelve-line phones at reception, simple two-line handsets everywhere else — all on one system. Not everyone needs a desk phone at all: many staff are better served by the softphone app on a laptop or mobile (see desk phones vs softphones). And because it’s a fair question, your quote will say plainly whether handsets are purchased outright or included in a monthly fee, and what happens to them if you ever leave. (The full list of things to ask before you sign: our buyer’s checklist.)

Frequently asked questions
Pick by the desk, not the spec sheet: two-line phones for reception and shared areas, four-line colour phones for everyday desks, twelve or sixteen-line phones for busy desks and managers, and touchscreens for executives. We will recommend a mix.
Power over Ethernet lets the phone draw power from the network cable, so no plug adapter is needed at the desk. Most models here support it; if your switch does not provide PoE, power adapters are available.
Yes - the W models connect over Wi-Fi, which suits desks without a nearby network point. A wired connection is still the most reliable choice for very busy desks.
The T74LTE and T67LTE carry a built-in 4G LTE connection alongside Wi-Fi, so a phone can work at a new site, a portacabin or a rural premises before a fixed line is in.
Your Bellcom quote will state plainly whether handsets are purchased outright or included in a monthly fee, and what happens to them if you ever leave.
