Nortel business phones are among the most popular business phones with multiple brands available. However, determining how much your phones will cost is more important in choosing Nortel phone vendors than deciding on Norstar, Meridian or Aastra phones for your office.
The larger your business is, the more phones you will need and the larger the total cost will be. You must take that number into account to figure out your pricing and costs of Nortel phones. Once you know how many phones you need, you can start finding:
1. Discount offers for individual new and refurbished Nortel phones.
2. Nortel phone suppliers offering wholesale and system prices for larger businesses.
3. Prices for more advanced Nortel conference-style phones.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Locate discount prices on individual Nortel phones for sale
A small business needs only a small supply of Nortel telephones. Therefore, you should look for individual phones selling at discount or special bargain prices. You should consider refurbished used phones, as many distributors can have special deals on them.
I recommend: NortelPhones.net supplies versions of Norstar, Meridian and Aastra phones, ranging from around $55 to $215 for refurbished phones, often about $20 to $30 less than their unused prices.
NRG Communication sells phones for up to $91 off the retail price, from about $50 to $305.
Find the best price on Nortel business phone systems to save money and hassles
Many businesses need not only multiple phones but a way to link them together. Getting a single Nortel phone system (which includes the phones themselves) is likely the best option. Small phone systems may cost only a few hundred dollars while larger ones can go in the thousands, but being able to connect all the phones through the system is worth the cost.
I recommend: PhoneGuys offers systems as small as four phones for less than $600 to 37 phones for about $6300, with shipping costs ranging from $20 to $300 depending on the order size. TSRCdirect.com's
Norstar systems sell from about $750 to about $3900. Investigate the free ground shipping option for all phone system orders over a certain amount.
Search for pricing on conferencing Nortel telephone units
Nortel's line of conferencing phones are a good addition to aid your business meetings and conferences. Their prices can vary greatly depending on the supplier and their new/refurbished status. Most businesses should only need one or two units, so total cost should be low.
I recommend: TelecomBiz.com sells Nortel conference phones at up to 24% discounts, with refurbished phones ranging from about $450 to $500 and new phones going from around $585 to $1115. They also offer a free one-year warranty with a two-year costing from $65 to $75.
AtlasPhones offers the Norstar units for about $400 to $600, up to $280 off the standard retail price. Their online store offers free ground shipping and a free one-year warranty (a two-year warranty is $10).
