The senior member of the KX-TVP Voice Processor family -- providing voice mail, automated attendant, call forwarding, call recording, bulletin board service, live call screening, remote live call screening, three languages, and more -- has been upgraded to handle up to 12 ports, for 12 simultaneous conversations.

The KX-TVP200 is a good choice for those who need more capacity than is provided by the VS100; and it has more features and is easier to set-up than the discontinued KX-TVP150.

The  VP200 system has the same great feature set as the other VP models, but comes equipped for THIRTY-TWO HOURS of recording, much more than  the VS75 or VP100.

It can use one or two or three KX-TVP204 modules, each providing four ports when used with a KX-TD control unit with the DPITS feature... for a total of 12 PORTS.

When connected to non-DPITS control units, including analog models, it can use up to three of the KX-TVP102 two-port modules.

There are 1024 mailboxes, compared with 64 for the other VP models.

We have experienced an amazing sales increase in voice processing systems recently.

Voice mail has gone from being hated, to being tolerated, to being expected, to being liked. More and more callers appreciate the confidentiality and accuracy of talking to a "machine." Owners of the voice mail boxes like hearing messages in the voices of the caller, from anywhere in the world, at any time of day, as many times as necessary, without relying on little pieces of pink paper that stand an equal chance of ending up in the waste basket or on a desk.

The automated attendant side of voice processing is also becoming more acceptable to both businesses and callers.

One of our clients hired and fired four receptionists within two months, and then decided to digitize out of desperation. When we first installed their VPS, it was supposed to be a back-up, to grab calls if no human being was available. The company liked it so much that after three days, I was asked to re-program it so it answers all calls. The people love it. Calls ring on the desks of the people they are intended for. The entire place is peaceful, efficient and relaxed, with none of the screaming and running they used to have.

If you've dismissed voice processing in the past, it's time to reconsider.
