Multi-line Phone System
Easy setup, lower costs, first-class features.
What is a multi-line phone system
Traditionally, multi-line phone systems refer to key telephone systems where users have a single phone to host multiple phone numbers. Users accept incoming calls or make outgoing calls by pressing a dedicated key for a particular phone number. It is a very limited setup and are mostly used by smaller businesses that need a system to host multiple company phone numbers but cannot afford an on-premise PBX system.
The cloud, however, changed all that. The modern multi-line phone system now refers to cloud-hosted phone systems that can host multiple business phone numbers in a cloud PBX system that answers all incoming calls and routes it to the right virtual extension. It provides businesses an advanced PBX system that handles incoming calls to each virtual phone number based on the rules specified for each.
Traditional phone systems
- On-site hardware can get out of budget
- Implementation is expensive and complicated
- There's no way out of contracts that have early termination fees
- Extra funds needed for service and hardware upgrades
- High-level technical support adds up to overall costs
- Maintenance requires qualified IT staff
- Service change requests take too long to implement
Cloud-based phone systems
- No need for expensive, bulky hardware housed in a dedicated area
- Installation and setup is quick and easy
- There are no monthly contracts
- Upgrades and updates are automatically rolled out
- Customer support is free of charge
- Manage the system using your smart device
- Lines can be added or repurposed depending on your needs

The Huge Benefits of a Virtual Multi Line Phone System
Multi line phone systems from RingCentral make it possible to have a superior but affordable business communications suite
Looking for a multi line phone system? Traditional multi-line telephony has provided reliable communications for businesses for a long time. However, they have three major caveats: they’re inflexible, complex, and costly. The latest technology offers a less problematic alternative. Virtual communications from RingCentral ensure that you get better phone features, greater flexibility, and more manageable and secure business telephony at a lower cost than that of traditional phone options.
Multi line phone systems are best when cloud-based
To put it simply, one form of cloud computing instantly delivers software to your home or business and lets you pay for only a fraction of the cost of traditional telephony. RingCentral is one such cloud-based service provider. Your multi line phone system is accessible via your computers or smart devices. This means that you can use and bring your business telephony with you wherever you are – transact business on-the-go and meet with clients anywhere! It’s a huge convenience, given all the added features of a more powerful virtual system. Moreover, you don’t have to worry about your privacy; RingCentral displays your business number if you’re calling using your smartphone app. Here are the biggest benefits of a RingCentral multi line phone system:
Lower rates for calling and faxing
Install RingCentral softphones on your computer for more affordable long distance calling and faxing. RingCentral lets you send and receive calls and faxes via Internet, so you don’t have to worry about the usual high costs of long distance rates. RingCentral also offers free minutes and fax pages, depending on your subscription plan.
Convenient and faster access to your business telephony
Do you need multiple phone lines? Toll free vanity numbers? A professional voicemail greeting? RingCentral lets you add and tweak all these features through a user-friendly online account, which you can conveniently access through a smartphone or tablet. Phone lines or extensions are “virtual” or wireless, and can be instantly added to your account. Physical IP phones from RingCentral are also pre-configured so you can use them immediately. You can also call our customer hotline for technical support.
RingCentral also has data centers in multiple locations to ensure that your business communication needs are addressed accordingly. Since you can keep your faxes and voicemails online for a certain amount of time, you have the option to immediately delete or forward them—ensuring that you have access to the most important messages..
Subscribe to RingCentral today to experience a superior multi line phone system advantage.
Choose RingCentral Multi Line Phone Systems
A RingCentral multi line phone system is a complete PBX service you can use and manage from anywhere.
Your communication needs grow as your business grows, which is why businesses like using multi line phone systems.

RingCentral aims to bring you the benefits of both traditional and virtual services, but with more innovative features.
The Multi line Phone System from RingCentral
RingCentral, the leading virtual telephony provider today, helps improve the efficiency of your business communications with its attractively-priced subscription packages. You can choose a plan depending on your budget and the number of users you have. Here’s what you can expect from RingCentral:
