This impressive business communications handset is a part of the T4 series, which is a solution designed for executives and professionals. We have found the SIP-T46S to be great for those professionals who need the functionality of the handset, yet have no need for the more advanced features of other handsets within the range such as the touch screen that the SIP-T48S has.
The SIP-T48S has outstanding acoustic clarity, providing HD voice technology not only for the handset speaker but also on speakerphone for those hands-free conversations. Our customers really notice the difference this crystal-clear audio makes!
The materials used to create the phone handset are not only beautiful in appearance, but also able to withstand everyday use with scratch-resistant surfacing.
With advanced components, the handset is optimised for a smartphone-like user experience. The one-touch soft keys allow excellent customisation, allowing the user to design their own telephone working environment for convenience and increased productivity.
There are plenty of telecommunications systems on the market that are suited to executive users and managers, so it is important that you research and find the system best suited to your needs. The difference between the phone system and the handsets is that although the handsets are of course an important factor, they are essentially keyboards for the phone system itself. The phone system is where a lot of the features and functionality stem from. Therefore, it is important that you first choose a phone system that suits your needs, and then choose the handset that you want to work with that system.
The Yealink handsets are best paired with the SpringCom Hosted phone system. With SpringCom Hosted, the whole phone system exists in the cloud rather than installing a traditional physical hardware box that sits in the office. Handsets are delivered pre-programmed so they instantly connect back to the brains of the phone system in the cloud. The phone system comes with free programming changes for life- therefore, the system is completely scalable and so can grow with the business. The SpringCom hosted phone system also comes packed with features including call flow, auto-attendant, calling waiting and voicemail to email technology. Voicemail to email technology is especially beneficial for managers and executives, as it allows the user to access their voicemail from their email wherever they have their mobile phone to hand.
An alternative to the SIP-T46S handset, in use with the SpringCom Hosted phone system, is the more advanced SIP-T48S. The SIP-T48S is the more complex model, providing all of the same functionality of the SIP-T46S, plus a touch screen interface. The addition of this touch screen really streamlines communications as users can easily scroll through pages and applications using only their fingertips.

Yes, this does sound a bit techy and confusing. So, some specialist business phone brands like SpringCom will do all this automatically for you without the need for you to touch anything. This saves money as you do not have to have a whole IT department to support your phone system. This is only one of the many reasons that having a completely managed service is so great for business!
The USB port of the handset enables the SIP-T46S to support extended features, such as USB call recording and Bluetooth.
Most Yealink handset suppliers don’t sell the USB addons out of the box unless you ask so it’s worth asking the questions if you are interested in this feature. It’s very easy to setup, and just a case of plugging the addon into the USB slot and you are ready to go.
The soft buttons on the Yealink SIP-T46S are extremely easy to navigate as they sit to the left, right and underneath of the screen. The soft keys are adaptable, and our customers have said they they are incredibly easy to navigate with the buttons around them.

The audio quality is lifelike and seamless - our customers really notice the difference this defined audio makes!
Our customers have said their staff have really appreciated the HD audio as it helps them have better and more productive conversations with their customers on the phone. The clear audio has also kept their staff fresher and happier though the day as they don’t have to strain to try to decode fuzzy phone calls.
Although there are adapters for Wi-Fi and bluetooth connectivity, there are other phone systems on the market that provide built in connectivity as standard and not only as an extra function.
Without a built-in camera, the SIP-T48S cannot offer any form of video call or video conferencing, which is offered by other phone systems.
For a little extra cost, you could invest in the SIP-T48S with the touch screen. Rather than using buttons to navigate through the pages of the screen, this can be achieved swiftly and conveniently with the touch screen interface.
The SIP-T46S handset is a well designed, user friendly handset that is extremely popular with our customers. The audio quality is also excellent, and the ability to addon Bluetooth connectivity is a bonus. We have found the handset to work very well for professionals as it is has everything they need, without the expensive extras that they are less likely to use. However, before deciding whether this is the right handset for you and your business, consider your own personal business needs- could investing in a more advanced handset be beneficial, or does the SIP-T46S provide all the functionality your business needs?
