Yealink Telephone Systems, Properly Assembled

Yealink makes the handset sat on your desk. It doesn't make the system that answers your calls, routes them to the right person, or keeps working when the phone lines change over. If you searched "Yealink telephone systems" looking for the platform behind the hardware, this is where you match the two up — the right Yealink model, on a phone system built for how your business actually takes calls, quoted and fitted without the guesswork.

Where People Get Stuck

Yealink Makes The Phone. Something Else Has To Run It.

"Yealink telephone system" gets searched thousands of times a month, usually by whoever's just been handed the job of sorting out new office phones and started by looking at the handsets. It's the wrong end to start from — but it's an understandable one, because Yealink's own website reads like they sell a complete telecom system, not just the hardware. Here's what usually trips people up once they get further in.

📦
Hardware ordered before the platform's chosen
Buy the handsets first and you risk the wrong provisioning profile, the wrong licence tier, or a model that doesn't support the features you actually need day one.
🔌
"Will it work with what we've already got?"
Yealink handsets are SIP-standard, so they'll pair with almost any modern telephone platform. The exceptions are older proprietary PBXs — worth checking before you commit.
📉
Buying by spec sheet, not by desk
A T31 on reception and a T54W in the warehouse office is a mismatch either way round. The right model depends on the role, not just the budget line.
Analogue lines are being retired regardless
New Yealink handsets don't fix an old ISDN or PSTN-based system underneath them. The switch-off timeline applies whatever's sitting on the desk.
The Part Yealink Doesn't Sell

Platforms That Actually Run Behind A Yealink Handset

Every one of these is a genuine business phone system — call routing, voicemail, call recording, mobile apps, the lot. Yealink handsets sit on top of any of them. Which one's right depends on how many sites you've got, how your team takes calls, and what you're already paying for elsewhere.

Choosing The Right Model

The Yealink Range, Sorted By Who Actually Uses It

Most businesses end up with two or three models across the office, not one for everybody. This is roughly how they map to real desks.

🖥️
T3 Series
Entry-level, standard desk users. Clear audio, simple screen, no bells and whistles — and no need for them either.
📞
T4 Series
Colour screen, expansion module support. The usual pick for reception, sales desks and anyone fielding high call volumes.
💼
T5 / T6 Series
Executive-grade, Bluetooth, larger touchscreens. For directors, or wherever the phone doubles as a status marker.
🎙️
CP Series
Conference room units with 360° pickup. Built for meeting rooms, not desks.
📡
W-Series DECT
Cordless handsets for warehouses, workshops and anyone who isn't tied to a desk all day.

Worth Knowing Before You Order

The PSTN Switch-Off Doesn't Care Which Handset You Bought

Openreach is retiring analogue and ISDN lines across the UK. New Yealink handsets look modern on the desk, but if they're plugged into an old system that's still routing calls over an ISDN trunk or PSTN line, that's the part that needs replacing — not the phone itself.

Check what's behind the handset, not just on the desk
A Yealink phone plugged into an ageing PBX cabinet doesn't solve the switch-off problem. The platform underneath is what needs to be SIP or cloud-based.
Multi-site businesses should move sooner
Sites on different exchanges are being switched off on different timetables. Businesses with several offices across the UK often find one site goes first.
Alarms, faxes and card machines need checking too
Anything still wired into an analogue line — door entry, fax, PDQ machines — needs a separate migration plan alongside the phone system itself.

Common Questions

Yealink Telephone Systems: What People Actually Ask

Is Yealink a phone system or just a handset?
Yealink is a handset and hardware manufacturer. The system behind it — call routing, voicemail, recording — comes from a separate platform such as 3CX, Horizon or Teams.
Can I use Yealink phones with my existing phone system?
Usually yes. Yealink handsets are SIP-standard and work with almost every modern cloud or on-premise platform. Older proprietary PBXs are the main exception worth checking first.
Which Yealink model do I need?
It depends on the desk, not the department. High-call-volume roles need a T4 or T5; standard desks are fine on a T3; meeting rooms need a CP unit; anyone mobile around site is better on a W-series DECT phone.
Do Yealink phones work with 3CX, Horizon or Teams?
Yes — Yealink is a certified hardware partner across all three, along with Webex and most other major UK cloud voice platforms.
How much do Yealink phone systems cost?
Handsets typically run £70–£250+ per desk depending on the series, plus a per-user monthly platform licence. Total cost depends on user count and features like call recording or CRM integration.
Are Yealink phones ready for the PSTN switch-off?
The handsets are IP-based and unaffected. The risk is whatever platform sits behind them — if that's still running on ISDN or analogue lines, that needs migrating regardless of which phone is on the desk.
Is there a Yealink phone system provider near me?
We supply and support Yealink telephone systems for businesses across the UK, with local engineers covering major cities and the surrounding areas. Wherever your office is based, there's a provider and an installer within reach.
