PSTN Phone Lines – Telstra

One of the first services you think of getting set up when you are starting a new business, or moving or expanding an existing business, is your fixed line phone service.

These days, however, there’s a lot more to it than just calling Telstra and getting them to install the traditional analogue phone line. There are analogue phone systems, digital phone line systems, and a range of options to consider such as Group Directory Numbers and Direct Indial and more.

PSTN can be used for phone lines, fax lines, EFTPOS lines and Internet access. If your business requires more than one (1) line, PSTN phone lines can be grouped together via a feature called “line hunt”. This means you have a main advertised telephone number, and when this line is busy it automatically cycles additional calls to the remaining auxillary lines, which feature line hunt. This would then be shown on your phone system as Line 1, Line 2, Line 3, and so on.

Benefits of PSTN phone lines:

• The service is readily available in most areas of Australia, offering connection to a constantly growing service, which currently reaches 97 per cent of Australian homes and businesses
