Hosted IP PBX Services

Once your company grows past the small business stage, you'll probably provide telephone
services to the office through a private branch exchange (PBX) system of some kind—also
known as a switchboard. This lets you share a number of incoming phone lines among a larger
number of extensions, so it's not necessary to pay for a separate line for every office
employee or workstation, which saves money.However, you can save even more money by
using VoIP instead of traditional public switched telephone network (PSTN) lines. There are
many IP PBX solutions available. But the implementation and on going maintenance of an IP
PBX system requires a type of expertise that your IT staff may not have. And if you go with a
commercial product, the up-front costs for the hardware and software may be high.One
alternative is to use a hosted IP PBX service. Just as some organizations prefer to use a Web
hosting service rather than run their own Web servers, some find it easier and/or more
cost-effective to have their IP PBX services hosted offsite.

This makes for a scable solution as well, since the provider usually has the means to upgrade
your service easily as you add more users or need more sophisticated features. The number
of users is almost unlimited with a hosted service, whereas when you use an on-sitee IP PBX,
hardware and/or software can limit the number of phones that can connect to the system.
Telephone companies seeing the benefits of hosted VoIP PBX have developed or are
developing their own systems.

Portability, this is one of unique features of VoIP. Phones can be moved from one location to
another and still be able to communicate with your VoIP phone. Because your VoIP phone
travels with you wherever go. You can connect to the internet anywhere and still
communicate with your VoIP phone. With hosted VoIP service, moving, adding, or changing
the phone system is easy. Therefore, saving money, time, is simple and easy,
