NORTEL 440 (Jazz) Telephone - Black

Circa 1996

Use Case:

The primary use case is for simple, single-line voice communication, with the added convenience of one-touch speed dialing for frequently called numbers. The "Hot Line" button can be programmed to automatically dial a specific number upon pressing it. The MUTE, REDIAL, FLASH, and HOLD buttons provide standard, convenient features for basic call management.

Historical Significance:

This model represents NORTEL's consumer and basic analog business offerings, existing alongside their more complex digital systems. It filled the need for a robust, reliable, and user-friendly landline phone that could be easily integrated into a home or small office, highlighting the transition period where advanced features were being integrated into standard analog equipment before the rise of digital and mobile communications.

NOTE: Can be used with the VIKING DLE-200B Two-Way Phone Line Simulator that provides on-set talk-path and ringing capabilities (available separately).
