With Virtual PBX you can easily design and manage a phone system for a big business, right from your home-office, small office, or virtual office.
A traditional PBX system consists of a "Phone Box", which is in essence a computer that is set up to manage your office telecommunications, several phones (each with its own extension), phone lines connecting the Phone Box to the outside world and interoffice cabling connecting the phones to the phone box.
This is a cost effective alternative to a traditional PBX system for most businesses. The only equipment you have to buy is the phones, which are significantly less expensive than phones for a traditional PBX system.
