Updated July 26, 2026
Finding good refurbished PBX phone systems is relatively easy. However, without the knowledge to purchase the proper system and install it, it can become a daunting experience. Complete phone systems that include desk phones from reputable brands like Avaya, ShoreTel, NEC, Nortel, Cisco, Panasonic, and Mitel are readily available. These companies and others have been providing reliable, sophisticated systems for small businesses and organizations of all sizes. Buying refurbished can save thousands. It's a lot like cars. New is nice, but a good used one accomplishes everything you demand at half the cost or less.
These used business PBX phone systems are available online:
- NEC SL1100 8x16 Phone System w/Voice Mail & 6 Phones; 8 Caller ID Capable Lines, up to 16 Digital Extensions, 4 Analog Extensions, 2-Port Flash Voice Mail and comes with (6) 24-Button Digital Phones $1569.00

Get the right used phone system; What you need to know.
- Check for hardware compatibility. Consider the type of PBX system (analog, digital or VoIP) and how you currently receive dial tone (analog phone lines, PRI, VoIP).
- Evaluate your business needs. Access features (call routing, call queuing, conference calling, call recording) and the communication channels supported (voice calling, video conferencing, texting).
- Recognize what is required to install and configure the system. Finding system hardware is just one part; installation, integration, and configuration frequently more than doubles the hardware cost. Depending on the phone system and specific circumstances, installation amounts vary. Installation for a Cisco phone system is going to be substantially more than for NEC.
Over the last two years, many local small companies have upgraded
their traditional on-premises phone systems to a cloud-based
communications platform. One chief motivation came about from the need to
easily support remote at-home workers. Even though a decades-old PBX can
connect with employees at home, current cloud services offer easy-to-use
integrated multi-channel communications. These ready-to-go services are
very effective for users to use from anywhere. As a result,
several good
used on-premise PBX phone systems have recently become available on the market,
many of which are merely three to five years old. Systems that fall into
this category are often significantly more robust and in better shape
than many existing in-use systems. And they routinely incorporate considerable feature
advancements over older, more outdated PBXs.
Telecom dealers
purchase or take as trade used phone systems complete with desk phones
and then offer them for resale. These PBX phone systems are cleaned,
reconditioned, and tested before being offered at extremely affordable
prices. They often represent a superior value for many traditional
businesses that maintain employees who work on-site and do not
require the latest and most advanced technology. Ordinarily, these
establishments include dealerships, retail, restaurants, office
environments, and warehouse facilities. Frequently, many of these
establishments still operate a ten, fifteen or more years old system
that displays serious wear and tear from significant use over the years,
not
to mention the lack of many built-in fundamental helpful business features. The most cost-effective
solution is installing a replacement system.
Refurbished PBX Phone Systems remain a bargain.
Telecom dealers often have several favorable used phone systems in stock. And they appreciate the opportunity to match a customer with a capable used system that's suitable for their needs. The result often benefits both; the telecom dealer gets to install a system, and the customer ends up with a far superior phone system at an extremely affordable price.
The easiest way to find a good used phone system.
The advantages and prices to obtain a replacement used business phone system are better than almost any other recent time. A lot has to do with the changes that have occurred over the last two years. By answering a few fundamental questions; such as, how many phones do you require, what type of business do you have, etc., a telecom representative can link you with telecom professionals who then submit a quote for a suitable phone system and communicate details for that phone system. Then you get to review your tailored quotes for the best solution that matches your budget.
