Why Your Small Business Needs a Hosted PBX Phone System • • You’ll be able to do things like call switching and routing when you use hosted PBX, and you’ll also have the capabilities to manage your software that comes with PBX service. You’ll have the ability to use hosted PBX solely or a combination of VoIP and conventional phone service, depending on how reliable your internet connection is and what your business’ communication needs are. Previously, conventional phone systems that were designed for small businesses were costly and had features that were hard to understand and configure. You may also recall that you had to add or take away certain features of the phone service depending on your business needs if you had a traditional phone system before. When you use hosted PBX, you can easily install the phone service, even if you’re not a technology whiz. You can also take advantage of certain features that you wouldn’t be able to use with conventional phone service, such as the softphone feature that lets you make and answer calls using your computer instead of having to have a traditional phone device.
