Not all phones are created equally, but when dealing with the Avaya Partner 18D and Avaya Partner 18D series II phones they are no all that different.  The Partner phone line has come a long way, starting out as an AT&T Partner Plus phone system and now it has evolved to the Avaya Partner ACS phone system.  This progress has taken approximately 20 years.   Let's take a look at the two main Partner 18D phones.

Now, by looked at the two phones, you will see they are really not that different. It is mainly the Series II Partner 18D phone was created after the Partner Euro 18D to look more modern. On the inside of the phones, the circuit boards were also manufactured differently, but their overall functions and abilities are the same.  

The Partner 18D and Partner 18D Series 2 phones can be interchanged on the same phone system.
