Does anyone have a recommendation for a single line cordless telephone for a Partner ACS. Would like for the message waiting indicator to work and maybe the caller id as well. The processor is R7.0. If anyone has used one that worked well let me know. Thanks, NECTEC

Unfortunately, caller ID will not work on a single line extension.

Same for the MW light on a cordless! You're going to need to go to a Transtalk to get both of those features.

Avaya just released a new cordless for the ACS on 11/15/04. It is model 3910. It has less range than the Transtalk, but is also costs a lot less. It is targeted for people who need cordless capability within an office environment, whereas the Transtalk has the range to cover a warehouse. If you would like a copy of the dealer announcement, drop me an email and I will send you the PDF - it is 44 pages.

I don't even know of any off the shelf cordless phones with a message waiting light.

I would seriously consider the new Avaya cordless. Transtalks are very expensive!

I'd like a copy of that pdf too, if you don't mind.

BillyBob thanks for the info on the Avaya 3910. I downloaded the PDF doc. from Avaya.
It does indicate that it has a functional message waiting indicator but not caller ID. From the prices it looks to be about 100 dollars cheaper than the Transtalk. I wish Avaya would make a single line cordless with both of these features.

Umm...someone correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the 3910 receive callerID since it is technically a system phone and not a t/r phone?

NECTEC - The 3910 does have caller-id. Please look at the chart of features on page 9 of the PDF I mailed to you (I sent PDF to email address in your profile).
The "List" price of the 3910 is $695 vs. $1256 for the Transtalk 9040 - quite a difference. If you are an Avaya dealer you can check with your distributor for wholesale prices - if not, email me and I will provide that info.

Check out the VTech: VT5831 5.8GHz phones. We use them in a large brick building. We don't get the best range but they do have a display screen and a message waiting light that works. You can also set it so when they log in they get a audio alert (that is set up on the station form). These are pretty good phones for cordless. They're about 150.00.

A couple of questions about the Avaya 3910
1. Does it connect to a merlin legend ?
2. Could we forward the operator console to this phone and let the operator use it to transfer calls ?

Thanks
