Introducing QuickTap
Quick and Simple. Connect QuickTap between your telephone and handset for quick access to audio from any telephone.

The QuickTap does not work with cellular telephones or any telephone with a keypad in the handset.

FAQs

Will the QuickTap work with my telephone?
The QuickTap will work with virtually any telephone that is not cellular and does not have a keypad in the handset. It is compatible with analog, digital, PBX, and ISDN telephones and systems. We cannot guarantee that it will work with every telephone out there, but we have yet to hear of one it does not work with.

How do I get both of my powered speakers to work with the QuickTap?
You will need to get a mono to stereo converter to go between the speakers and the QuickTap.These are readily available at most electronic stores. and systems.

The QuickTap works great for recording conversations but how do I send a recording down the telephone line?
The QuickTap is a receive only device. If you want to send recorded audio down the line, you should purchase a THAT-1, THAT-2 or a Voice Path.
