Cordless/Desktop Phones

DoIT does not sell telephones. Telephones need to be ordered from an outside vendor through your department's purchasing staff. For your convenience, we have listed some vendors below. You may want to contact these vendors or others for price comparisons.

Staples Advantage is the prime vendor for office supplies, including telephones, for the University. Some telephones and accessories on the recommended list are not available from Staples Advantage. Below is a vendor that might carry those items. To order from Staples Advantage, contact your department's purchasing office.

Graybar, 1301 W. Badger Road, P.O. Box 2035, Madison, WI 53701. For pricing and availability, call 800-955-1330.

Please note:
Some 2.4GHz cordless phones will cause interference or problems with wireless data networks. If cordless phones are needed, DoIT Network Services recommends using 900 Mhz, 2.4GHz with FHSS (Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum) technology, 5.8 GHz with FHSS or DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications). Some phones marketed as 5.8 GHz are also transmitting a 2.4 GHz signal. If you are purchasing cordless phones, be sure to check the technical specifications.
