Hosted PBX - Cloud Phone Systems
A Hosted PBX system, is sometimes know as a Virtual PBX, virtual phone system or virtual phone service. This type of cloud based communications service offers all of the functions of a traditional PBX (Private Branch Exchange) system without requiring wires, equipment or any other physical connections. Hosted PBX systems are also significantly cheaper than a traditional PBX.
Traditional PBX systems connect an internal (office) network of phones, extensions and fax lines to the outside telephone network. The system typically includes features such as call forwarding, conference calling and hold music. Hosted PBX systems offer all of these same business phone features but are hosted and maintained by the service provider and require only an Internet connection to set up and access.
Hosted PBX systems offer the following:
- A telephone number without an associated phone line (i.e. a “virtual number”)
- An online interface where you can manage your calls, voicemails and settings
A business will typically obtain a Hosted PBX in order to forward their virtual numbers to:
- A Voice-over IP service (i.e. an online calling service like Skype)
- A different phone line (fixed or mobile line)
- A VOIP phone provided by the Hosted PBX vendor
