Integrated directory or database of contacts<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is kind of related to the last point\u2014if your phone is already synced up with your business communications platform, then you probably already have your contacts loaded in there and you don\u2019t have to worry about it.

Password or PIN protection:<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you plan to have any kind of secret conversations, or even just conversations about customers and their data and deals your business is planning, you\u2019ll probably want a conference phone with a password feature to protect the content of those calls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Active noise reduction or cancellation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is one of the most important features in a conference phone today. With open offices being so popular\u2014not to mention working from home isn\u2019t exactly quiet either (hello, kids and dogs)\u2014a phone that has some kind of specialized mic and noise cancellation will really come in handy for those times when you just can\u2019t escape to a quiet room.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Best conference phone overall (budget and splurge options)\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Best conference phone overall:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/voip-phone\/cisco-cp8851.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Cisco CP8851<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8290 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/small-business\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image5-7.jpg\" alt=\"Best conference phone overall: Cisco CP8851\" width=\"619\" height=\"262\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yep, it comes in two colors, but that\u2019s not why the Cisco CP8851 wins best overall conference phone.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, it comes with all your usual conference phone perks like a large color display (800&#215;480, 24-bit color, 5-inch WVGA, to be precise), intelligent softkeys, and HD voice\u2014but there are also other neat goodies that are harder to find.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the 8851 lets you transfer calls between your desk and mobile phones. Let\u2019s say, you\u2019re coming into the office (or getting to your desk) while on a call with someone. Once you arrive at your desk, you can move the call over to the Cisco 8851 (which probably has better audio and acoustics than your cell phone).<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you\u2019re on a conference call using your RingCentral desktop\/mobile app, you could just hit a button to flip the meeting over to another device. Like this:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8291 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/small-business\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image9-54-1024x621.png\" alt=\"if you\u2019re on a conference call using RingCentral desktop\/mobile app, just hit a button to flip the meeting over to another device.\" width=\"840\" height=\"509\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The phone also has 10 line keys that can show you the status for up to eight users on the color display so you can see who\u2019s available for a call. (And if you\u2019ve got a growing team, you can add on the expansion module, which expands this to a whopping 64 users.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re already with a business phone provider, you might be able to purchase this phone through them.
