The advantages of hosted pbx for a business are endless! Hosted pbx is the future for business communication. Business managers are choosing hosted pbx more and more these days, but why?

Well, for starters it's less expensive, especially for a large business corporation.

1) Only one hosted pbx phone system. With traditional land-line phones a business with office locations all around the globe would have to purchase phone system servers, software, and hardware for every business location. Anyone in business management knows that phone systems are not cheap! A pbx is what routes every phone call. With hosted pbx your business doesn't even have to purchase a phone system server for any of your business locations. How? Because hosted pbx means that your phone service provider "hosts" or keeps up and manages your phone system server as part of their phone and pbx services. The hosted pbx provider buys the phone system server on your behalf and all your business locations share that same hosted pbx phone system via the internet.

2) Phone calls within the company have no costs. Since every business office location is tapped into your one business hosted pbx phone system and phone services they can call each other through that system as if they were in the same business office building! So your New York office calling California business offices would be making a phone call within the business directory, just dialing an extension--just like they were on the third floor up of your business office building on the same land-line phone services. This hosted pbx feature is especially beneficial when calling internationally. Same situation as above, only calling to your international business locations by dialing an extension and reaching them on the phone as if they were on the next floor.

Faxmail Features Save time and heighten security.

One feature available with most hosted pbx providers is faxmail. Businesses still use facsimile because the confidentiality and security is better for sending sensitive business information. Rather than having faxed paperwork sit on the fax machine, hosted pbx faxmail is still faxed using a fax number, but it is received as faxmail--easily accessible like an email, but more secure and confidential than an email because it's sent as faxmail, through the hosted pbx system. How does this save time? Ever wait in line to use a fax or for a fax to come through? Now you can send a fax from your computer or digital device via hosted pbx, just like making a phone call over the internet (voip), but sending a fax over the internet. Hosted pbx faxmail feature saves time and money.

Voip Voicemail Feature via Hosted PBX

Rather than the old "answering-machine" method of getting voicemail, because hosted pbx uses voip and internet, voicemail can be received like email. Managing hosted pbx voicemail is much easier and saves time. Also, your hosted pbx voicemail is accessible from anywhere you have the internet--smart-phone, home computer, etc. This brings us to another advantage of using hosted pbx...

Hosted PBX increases the mobility of a business.

Because your hosted pbx business phone system is accessible via the internet, your employees can take calls on-the-road. Anywhere that a business employee can access the internet, they can access your hosted pbx business phone system to take phone calls, get voicemail, etc. Communication within your business and with customers increases drastically with hosted pbx!
