Great Conference Phone

 

I bought this phone after researching several conference room phones. The Polycom SoundStation2 Expandable was the perfect phone for our conference room. One of our guys wears a hearing aid and there is no feedback from it or any of our cell phones!

Polycom supports Rush Limbaugh's attacks on women

 

Please know that if you purchase anything from Polycom you are supporting a company that continues to advertise with Rush Limbaugh even after many advertisers have pulled their ads due to his disgusting attacks on women.

Cannot work on a multi-line system

 

I purchased this unit plus the additional microphones and it is a great unit with a good price. We haven't even used it but are returning it! None of the literature on this site explains that it will work on a single phone line. We have analog lines so...
