Lee:

You only have two phone lines going into your office? That's actually pretty simple.

If I read your needs properly you can just go to Radio Shack and purchase some two line business phones.

They will have HOLD buttons, as well as CONFERENCE so you can bridge the two lines together. The business phones will have an INTERCOM button. It's a simple feature on phones - you don't need some fancy, schmancy PBX system to do that.

If you get a rep from the phone company, that person will probably oversell you on pricey business phone stuff. I was a store manager for R.S. years ago, and I used to setup little offices all the time with 2, 3 or 4 phone line phones. It's simple, and phone jacks are typically already wired for two lines.

I haven't lookd in awhile, but phones like that are going to be $50 to $99. They even sell similar phones like that at Best Buy.

Remember that if you buy 2-line phones with an intercom, you want to purchase all the same model (or related models). This is a phone "system" - that's how they signal to each other things like Hold indicator lights and the Intercom.

Good luck,
Steve
