In Our 25th Year, it's Exciting Times at Telephone Magic!
Wow! It is hard to believe but we are in our 25th year in business at Telephone Magic Inc. One might think it would be time to sit back and enjoy the fruit of our success, but I have not been this busy in about nine or ten years. But it is FUN. So many exciting things are happening in and around our company.
We are now well into a website redesign that will bring us up to Web 2.0 standards. The new site will sport a beautiful graphic design, easy to navigate menus, online chat with "live" quotes, and an "Express Quote!" option available from any page of our site.
We carry more products today than ever before and more product lines are being added every day. If you don't see it, we probably have it. If we do not have it, we will get it for you fast. From systems, phones, and equipment for Avaya IP Office IP500, to the Avaya BCM and Definity PBX. From Nortel Norstar and BCM 50 and 450, to Meridian 1 / Option 11C PBX. From NEC's SV8100 phone system to Mitel, Cisco IP, Polycom, Plantronics, Teledex, Scitec, TeleMatrix, EnGenius and more. We carry it all!
The thing we are most proud of is the fact that we actually establish RELATIONSHIPS on the web. That is something that is considered very rare with this saturated world we live in online.
At telephone Magic we are also doing our darned best to build real interaction in the Social Media world. We have lots of exciting things planned for YOU if you FOLLOW US on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, and most recently Pinterest. Be sure to use the handy links on the right side of our Blog page, Follow Us, and stay tuned for some cool and fun activities, contests, and product and site news.
At this time, we would like to thank YOU, and all of our clients, both present and past, for helping us build towards our 25th Anniversary early in 2014!

Keeping up with the Social Media "Jones's" a Full Time Job
At Telephone Magic, we sell business phones at wholesale prices.
We are currently in our 25th year in business and we love what we do - it's exciting, always changing, we get to work with cutting edge phone system technology from worldwide leaders such as Avaya, NEC, Cisco, and Nortel.
The new world of Internet marketing does not just require additions, changes, and updates of HTML code and pages for our websites though. Now as much time is being spent updating the many and varied sources of Social Media Marketing.
Like other savvy and successful online companies, Telephone Magic is on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, and - oh yes - we also Blog!
Don't get me wrong, it's actually quite a bit of fun reaching out and touching the people who utilize our business telephone products every day in their day to day life. We appreciate our clients and we strive to give them the best personalized service in the industry. We feel, more than others, we create long-lasting relationships with our customers and they tend to come back time and time again due to the personalized rapport we forge with them.
On the other hand, Social Media is, in itself, a full time job, equal to, and in many cases, much more work than our websites they drive. I am certain many of you, as small, medium, and even large businesses, struggle to find the time in the day to juggle all of their social media sites, trying to be as responsive as possible while also trying to get their regular work done in a timely fashion.
I have talked to many business owners/managers/CEO's that wonder how anyone is supposed to do all that social media demands without employing the full time efforts of a dedicated person. No doubt, it is tough. On one hand you don't want to drop the ball, fail to make regular posts, and not get back to potential customers when they come knocking at your various social media outlets. On the other you have to deal with real world financial constraints driven by the economy which prevent you from carving out yet another salary from a potentially diminishing pie.
On top of this, your products are almost always evolving and new information is coming out regularly and needs to be updated on your actual website. Now let us try to keep up with as much of that work as possible to ensure the site you wish to promote with all your social media venues is not itself becoming stale and outdated, causing it to fall in the rankings of our friends at Google, and other search engines.
The Social Media challenge is certainly a real one and we all have to either deal with it in the best way we can with the limited time we have or, God forbid, simply ignore it and the world around us that has embraced and promoted it. Right, that is not an option. Time to get back to our Facebook page!

Sometimes you just need a break...
I am just back from a wonderful week away with my son to Riviera Nayarit, Mexico ... Thanks to #Merival Residences and World Spa in Riviera Nayarit, #Mexico for a great vacation! This place is the absolute best with amazing a la carte food all day long... it's pricey but well worth it.
Fully rejuvenated, I am glad to be back home at #Telephone Magic central control! :-)
Fully rejuvenated, I am glad to be back home at #Telephone Magic central control! :-)
Here's something you don't see every day! "Cassandra" jumped right over us without even touching anyone!
Kissy, Kissy! :-)
"Xanu" was a real sweeite!
I highly recommend the "Sea Lion Encounter" from "Vallarta Adventures" in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit, Mexico. The pictures and video were very expensive, but captured an amazing experience with these wonderful creatures.

Best Long Range Wireless Phone We Have Ever Seen
When you need a cordless phone that has a longer range for a large property there are a lot of expensive solutions that require an inordinate number of repeaters to pass off the signal from various zones. Car lots and multi-floor offices are good examples of where this type of wireless phone is required.
For more than a dozen years, Telephone Magic has offered the BEST and LEAST EXPENSIVE long range wireless phone solution that will cover most of these applications with an all-inclusive cordless phone with charger and an independent antenna base that can be mounted in an ideal coverage location.
The EnGenius DuraFon 1X
Long Range Cordless Phone System
EnGenius produced the first industrial long range cordless phone and now, this latest version, the DuraFon 1X, is the first rugged industrial long range wireless phone.
The EnGenius Durafon is an industrial long range cordless telephone with up to 5 miles (8 km) range in open terrain and up to 12 floors of penetration in office buildings.
In warehouse environments, you can have up to 250,000 square feet of coverage. Outdoors on farms, ranches, car lots or college campuses, coverage is up to 3,000 acres.
In addition to being a cordless telephone, the EnGenius DuraFon is also a full-duplex 2-way radio which operates independent of the base unit.
This system will grow with your business, allowing you to add up to 9 handsets per base unit. You can expand the system up to 4 lines (4 base units are needed) and 36 handsets in total.
The DuraFon works off any analog line and is also easy to add to your digital PBX with the EnGenius digital adapter (optional). Alternatively we also offer the EnGenius PRO 4-line long range wireless phone.
Telephone Magic Inc. is a rare "EnGenius Elite Dealer", so you always know you are getting the best pricing and service when you buy from us.
DuraFon 1X Features:
- Complete mobile communications: Using EnGenius, you can answer a call away from your desk. Is it for someone else? Just transfer the call to the proper extension. Or you can put the call on hold, and radio your colleague to let him/her know who's on the line—from your cordless handset.
- Full duplex 2 way radio: Unlike the usual take turns conversations typical of radio or CB communication, the EnGenius 2 way radio works in full duplex mode. That means you can talk comfortably and naturally with a co-worker. And you can talk privately so you don't have to worry about broadcasting your conversation to the entire warehouse.
- Exceptional Security: Digital spread spectrum technology broadcasts your conversation on up to 200 channels each second, preventing eavesdropping.
- Add up to 36 handsets: Each EnGenius base can support 9 handsets. Your system grows as you grow: Up to 4 bases and 36 handsets can be linked into one system.
- Long Talk Time : The EnGenius DuraFon handsets delivers up to 6 hours talk time, 50 hours standby. Each handset comes with a long life Lithium Ion battery.
- Call directory: With a 30 number speed dial, you can keep your important business contacts at your fingertips even when away from your desk.
- Headset capability: With the DuraFon's integrated headset jack, you'll be able to connect your favorite 2.5 mm headset for cord free, hands free conversations.
- Caller ID/call waiting: See who's calling before you pick up—even on your call waiting call. Just check your handset's 3 line LCD.
- Optional external antenna: Extend your coverage. Use the optionalexternal antenna and take your conversations outdoors and around your worksite.
- Programmable PBX Soft Key: Access important PBX functionality on your cordless phone
Every business site is different and in larger areas an external roof antenna can be added to extend the already impressive range of the EnGenius DuraFon 1X. You can easily connect this long range wireless phone to your business phone system via a single line analog port, which allows the DuraFon to be integrated as an extension of your telephone platform. There is also a multi-line version of the DuraFon, the DuraFon Pro, which allows up to 4 telephone lines to be handled by the system. Either way, we highly recommend the DuraFon for your long range cordless requirements as the BEST solution on the market today. As your EnGenius Elite Dealer, you know you are buying from a trusted source, which ensures you receive factory-direct warranty service for your DuraFon purchase.
