What it is

The T58A is a smart business desk phone with a 7-inch adjustable color touchscreen running Android, the system used on many smartphones. It has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in, gigabit network ports, and a USB port for the optional Yealink camera that turns it into a video phone.

Why you'd want it

• Video when you want it: add the clip-on camera now or later for face-to-face calls.
• Tablet-like and easy: tap to dial, transfer and check coworkers' status.
• Wireless headsets: built-in Bluetooth pairs a headset or mobile phone.
• Flexible placement: built-in Wi-Fi for desks without a network jack.

Do you need it?

Choose it for executives and front desks that may want video calls. If you want video from day one, the T58V includes the camera. If you'll never use video, the T57W is the simpler touchscreen choice. This model ships without a power supply: it takes power from your network switch over the network cable (PoE, Power over Ethernet). If your switch doesn't provide PoE, add the Yealink power supply or a PoE injector to your order.

How it works with Plan V

One phone per desk on a Plan V seat. We set it up for your Plan V service before it ships, so it works when you plug it in: your extension, voicemail and line keys ready to go. Add Device Warranty for unlimited replacements. Video calls work between video-capable phones on your Plan V system.
