    I have a small business, took over in last few years

    we have one phone line, standard Vodafone which goes to the reception phone and have 2 other phones in different offices connected to this

    they are all Panasonic KX-T7730

    the phone on reception needs to be replaced as physically nearly worn out

    by just buying one online and hooking it up is that straightforward? (I know it's out of date system but need short to medium-term measure as cash flow not wonderful right now) - I know there is a manual online which is quite long I'm sure last time I glanced at it - could non-tech person do it handily enough?

    thanks

    I see no one has replied and I'm not readily familiar with the specific telephone you have, but I'll give it a shot. Are you sure that phone is not connected to a PBX system (box on the wall) that is then connected to the vodafone telephone line?

    Something like the Panasonic KX-TA624? Maybe your phone can work in standalone but I didn't think so. If it is connected to a pbx then you can fire ahead and just straight swap as it's the PBX that is programmed and not the phone.

    If it is indeed just the telephone you have you would have to program the replacement phone. If so it would be just a matter of going through the settings on the phone you have, write them down, and put them in the same on the phone you get.

    I'm much more familiar with the bigger KX-TDA systems unfortunately.

    Save yourself the hassle and just port the phone numbers to a cloud provider and disgard all this old equipment. You can then just purchase some simple Polycom VVX SIP phones and running costs for your one number would be around €30 per month.
