Still Running an NEC Phone System? We Can Help.
Thousands of businesses still rely on NEC phone systems every day, and many of them run perfectly well. The challenge now is support: NEC no longer sells new systems, ships new hardware, or provides manufacturer technical assistance.
Rhode Island Telephone has supported NEC phone systems for decades. Our technicians know these systems inside and out, from programming changes and handset swaps to emergency repairs. Whether you want to keep your NEC system running as long as possible or start planning your next move, we’ll give you honest advice and local support.
What NEC's End of Life Means for Your Business
In 2024, NEC announced it was leaving the on-premise business phone market outside Japan. Here’s the timeline:
- December 31, 2024: End of new system and add-on sales
- March 31, 2025: End of hardware shipments
- March 31, 2026: End of NEC manufacturer support
What this means for you: your system won’t stop working overnight. But as hardware ages, replacement parts get harder to find, there will be no more software or security updates, and any failure can take longer to fix. Having a plan, even if you’re not ready to switch, protects your business from unexpected downtime.
