What about something cordless, so you don’t have to run wires all over the place?
Like the Panasonic DECT 6.0 2-Line expandable corded/cordless combo with digital answering system- Expands up to 6 handsets total.
Or for more advanced features, like Voice Mail and auto-attendant, try the Panasonic KX-TG4500B 4-Line Expandable 5.8 GHz Cordless Phone system.
You should be thinking about purchasing a phone switch with the basic features you want. It means a lot of money but in the long run will better serve you. There is far too much to go into here but the basics are pretty straight forward. The first thing to do is find a phone system vendor that you can trust or a consultant with the right contacts.
Take a look at Axon, it is a virtual PBX. a PBX is what allows you to have some of the transferring capabilities that you are looking for, and the software is less expensive and easier to scale with a growing business. Axon can be used with VoIP or analog landlines but you will need a telephony board or equivalent hardware to connect the landlines to your computer if you don’t go to voip. But I think at the very least this is a solution you should look into further, and it will work with other applications if you want to add more features to your phone system.
