Meet the Yealink T74U – Our New Standard Desk Phone for Advanced PBX
Technology moves fast, and business phone systems are no exception. As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping WTCO clients on modern, reliable, and future-ready communications, we’re now deploying the Yealink T74U as our standard desk phone for new Advanced PBX installations.
This model replaces the well-known Yealink T54W — a solid handset that’s served many businesses well — but the T74U takes things several steps further in performance, screen quality, and long-term support.

Why This Matters for WTCO Advanced PBX Clients
Your desk phone is still the frontline tool for customer conversations. The Yealink T74U improves clarity, speed, and usability — which means fewer missed calls, faster call handling, and a better experience for both staff and customers.
Combined with WTCO’s Advanced PBX features — auto attendants, hunt groups, voicemail-to-email, mobile app integration, and multi-site call flows — the T74U fits perfectly into a modern business communications setup.
What Happens If You Already Have T54W Phones?
No panic required. The T54W remains fully supported on our Advanced PBX platform. Existing customers don’t need to replace handsets unless they want to upgrade or are expanding their system.
For new installations, additional extensions, or system refreshes, the Yealink T74U is now our go-to recommendation.
