What is the difference between ‘Phone-Bill’ and ‘No Phone-Bill’ Telephone Entry Systems?

What is the difference between ‘Phone-Bill’ and ‘No Phone-Bill’ Telephone Entry Systems? A ‘Phone-Bill’ (a.k.a. ‘dialer’) system is one in which the tenant is charged a surcharge by the phone company whenever a call is placed to the apartment through the lobby (entrance) or concierge panel. A ‘No Phone-Bill’ system has added electronics that eliminate the call surcharge. Most systems can be sold as a ‘Phone-Bill’ (‘dialer’) system the way they are and can be easily changed to the ‘No Phone-Bill’ type at any time.

Advantages and Disadvantages of a ‘Phone-Bill System’ Advantages Disadvantages Less expensive upfront Call from lobby panel can be programmed to ANY valid phone number Easiest to install Reoccurring monthly phone company surcharges No built-in ‘call waiting’ feature Requires a phone-line for intercom service

Advantages and Disadvantages of a ‘No Phone-Bill System’ Advantages Disadvantages No reoccurring phone company charges No message units Built-in internal call waiting No phone line needed to use intercom More expensive upfront Call from lobby panel can only be programmed to one apartment Longer install time
