new system. Ease of installation and ease of use makes Telephone Entry ideal for your

next multi-unit application.

Telephone Entry Systems?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.
