Replacement of a PBX

There are no Hosted PBX usage charges when the call comes from your local carrier to your desk phone. If you miss the call or are on the phone, the call forward busy or call forward no answer routes the call to the Hosted PBX. The Hosted PBX has all of the features listed above. You can point a toll free or local number directly to the Hosted PBX and have the auto attendant take the call.


Supplementing an Existing PBX

Many companies wishing to add features to an older PBX or wanting to implement voice disaster recovery can use the Hosted PBX to accomplish their goals. Calls are processed normally through the PBX. The PBX is programmed to re-route the call to the Hosted PBX depending on the business rule defined.

For instance if you wish to outsource your voicemail, you would simply program your PBX to forward the caller to a pre-defined Hosted PBX access number in the event of a no answer or busy. To replace an answering service, you would simply forward all calls to the Hosted PBX after hours and implement call screening. There are many ways that the Hosted PBX can supplement an existing phone system. Give us a call. We would be happy to discuss your particular needs.

In the case of disaster recovery, call forward busy and call forward no answer at the end of the hunt group or a secondary call path on the circuit would route calls to the Hosted PBX. You would define the features and the call routing for this event.


Benefits of a Hosted PBX Service

Here are some of the ways a hosted PBX service can benefit your business:

  • Services are available on a month-to-month basis. Cancel with no penalty at any time.
  • Inbound toll free traffic can be directly routed to the Hosted PBX or only after you have had a chance to answer the call.
  • Handles calls missed only (no answer or busy only) so a small percentage of calls result in usage charges.
  • Hosted PBX services can be user maintained reducing maintenance charges.
  • No need to buys expensive features or capacity from your phone vendor. Use the hosted PBX service as a supplement to your premise-based PBX.
  • Receiving your voice mail as an email attachment permits you to archive and retrieve messages.

  • Disaster Recovery - All unanswered calls are handled by the hosted PBX and can be routed away from the disaster.
