I need an office phone - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

I'm not sure how this all works, but when its said and done I need to a have a phone in my office. I will have two centrex lines into the office (one phone number). When I'm blabbing away, if I get another call, I need to either answer it, or let it roll into voice mail. Things like HOLD and SPEAKER are needs as well.

Sooo...I'm not sure what I should shop for, or even where to start. What kind of a phone do I need. Is the rollover / voicemail a function of the phone, or do I get that servic I get when they run the lines to my new office?

Ah, the joys of working for a small company....

I used to have centrex in my old office. This is a nice phone but might be more robust than you need now. It will support more lines that you have, but will handle the rollover capabilities, speaker phone and conference call functions with ease. And its not too expensive.
