Toshiba's "Trade Up" Promotions Provide Affordable Access to Toshiba VIPedge and IPedge Business Communication SolutionsIRVINE, Calif., Nov. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Telecommunication Systems Division today announced its new "Trade Up to Toshiba" programs, enabling legacy customers of its Strata DK and Strata CTX business telephone systems to affordably trade up to Toshiba's VIPedge® cloud-based, IPedge® IP and Strata® CIX on-site business telephone solutions. Moving to Toshiba's VIPedge and IPedge solutions help businesses comply with Kari's Law (S. 2553), which went into effect earlier this year and mandates that 911 calls be made without first pressing '1' or '9'. Available through select Authorized Toshiba Dealers, the "Trade Up to Toshiba" promotion runs through March 29, 2017. "We are encouraging all of our legacy customers to upgrade their systems to comply with Kari's Law," said David Ansehl, director of sales for Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Telecommunication Systems Division. "Toshiba's 'Trade Up' promotions make it affordable to move to Toshiba's cloud and on-site telephone solutions." Kari's Law is named for Kari Hunt, who was killed by her estranged husband at a motel in Northeast Texas in late 2013. Her nine-year-old child tried repeatedly to dial '911' from the motel room's phone but was not able to get through as the motel required dialing '9' to get an outside line. Toshiba is offering three "Trade Up" programs that will help businesses comply with Kari's Law. 1. Trade Up to VIPedge Cloud Telephone Solution, Get Free Telephones 2. Upgrade to IPedge On-site Telephone System, Get Free UC Licenses 3. Buy Five IP Telephones, Get Half Off Among the Industry's Longest Business Phone System Warranties Toshiba offers one of the longest manufacturer's warranties in the business telephone industry.
