When you think about telephones, the chances are good that BT will be one of the first companies you actually think of. It’s not really surprising, and even though you can now get your phone services from a number of other companies, BT are still market leaders in providing both the phones and the services.

If you enter the word Opticom into any search engine, you will see a whole raft of results come back at you.

With that said though, it would appear that none of them are relevant to the phones maker that we are interested in here! The Opticom company is actually very tricky to track down, although you will find it very easy to come across a whole range of their corded phones. All you have to do is search for the phones online, and you will get lots of search results back at you.

If you have ever spent any time searching for a brand new home phone of some kind, then you will almost certainly have come across the name Binatone.

They are also one of the biggest players when it comes to corded telephones. Quite often many manufacturers concentrate on cordless phones and only create a bare handful of corded ones so they don’t miss out on that market.

Does the name Cisco ring any bells for you? Not to crack any jokes of course, but Cisco might not be a familiar name when it comes to home phones.

That is probably because Cisco concentrates more on business solutions of all kinds, and providing corded phones is just one small part of what they do. These aren’t just ordinary corded phones either – they have to be built to handle all kinds of business needs, and as such they are far more in depth than those you would use at home.

Sometimes you can look up the name of a brand online and you will find them straightaway with no problems at all. But AGB – the maker of a range of corded telephones you can buy now – is not one of them.

If you do some research on the company Plantronics online, you will soon see that their main interest is in telephone headsets. That is, the type of headsets you wear when you are constantly taking calls in a call centre.

Never heard of Nortel? Don’t worry – if you have been used to shopping for home phones then you probably won’t have come across them before. They are primarily in the market to meet business needs when it comes to telephony, and they certainly have an impressive range in that respect too.

As you can imagine, trying to find the corded telephone brand Generic online is exceptionally difficult! There are other meanings and uses for the name generic, which means that information on the brand name is very difficult to find.

Everyone knows the Panasonic name. It’s one of those makes that has ingrained itself into our minds.

But would it be the first name you think of when it is time to buy a new corded telephone? The chances are it probably wouldn’t be, and yet they do have an impressive range to think about.
