Nortel Networks raised the standard with the deployment of the Nortel Networks Norstar Business Series Terminal product line. The Business Series telephone model T7316e is an extremely durable and reliable digital telephone originally designed for the Nortel Networks Norstar ICS (Integrated Communication System) suite of telphone systems. As VoIP(Voice over IP) and computer telephony integration have begun to change the underlying method by which businesses communicate, Nortel added an additional product line labeled the BCM(Business Communication Manager). The T7316e is cross compatible with both product lines translating into ease of migration from one Nortel Networks business telephone system product line to another. Since I became aqauinted with Nortel in 1992, I can honestly say the business telephones they manufacture and sell are some of the best in the world. I have been testing, installing, selling, and maintaining telephone products from most of the telecommunication manufacturers for the past 15 years. The Business Series T7316e is by far the most reliable(in terms of length of service) and the most durable in comparrison to other manufacturers products in the same class. -Gary G Geier, President/CEO, GBS Telecom Inc. 01/01/2007Read full review
So, I had to have one of these because I moved into a new building and this is the system they have. I want someone to answer my phones, and this phone lets me do it. On to things I hate: 1. My cheap-ass home phones let me share two phones in the office, see the caller ID, were cordless, showed me how long the call was automatically, but let the receptionist answer my phone at the same time I did. This phone is relatively expensive, does not show me the caller ID, has a cord, and you have to push a button to see how long the call was. 2. Oh, I forgot to mention that my cheap ass home phone could work on speaker. This one doesn't. There is the T7316E - which does have a speaker phone, but that's more expensive. So, what does this phone get you for being so expensive? A whole lot of hassle for a whole lot of money. But someone else answers my phones. So that's good. I would never never never never install one of these systems in a building I controlled. But I didn't make that decision. Maybe someday I will buy an office building to go with a more reasonable phone system. Whew. Now THAT would get expensive. :) (P.S. I went ahead and bought the T7316E, so this one is no longer hooked up. Eventually I will get an extension cord and use this one for my admin station. I still hate it. Even not hooked up.)Read full review
I use a Nortel BCM400 phone system (migrated from a Nortel CICS 6.1) and I'm buying mostly refurbished and used T7316 units for it. Unlike the Meridian M7310 and M7324 phones it replaces, keys are more quickly relabelled because all the keys can be reassigned by printing a preformatted template, rather than changing out individual key inserts. I also find the speakerphone clearer on the transmission side. The T7316e model is newer and permits the addition of a 24-key extension module for receptionists or answering stations. (The T7316e can be recognised in a photo as the bottom key row has a third key for the speakerphone which is not present in the T7316). I need very few of these, and the older T7316 units are usually less expensive. Plastics are good in the whole T-series product line, and can be cleaned using Windex sprayed on a cotton cloth (don't use a lot).Read full review
Phones look very clean and function perfectly. One or 2 plastic label covers missing, but it's OK.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This phone is very good. This is the best phone I ever used in my twenty-five years of being in business. The features are excellent to use and master. I strongly recommend Nortel Networks T7316 to anyone in need of a quality office phone.
