Switching to a cloud-based VoIP business phone system can help your business instantly reduce service costs by as much as 80%, enhance reliability, and add greater functionality over a traditional telephone-line-based system.
What is a PBX Phone system?
PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a general term that is described as a business telephone system that offers multiple lines and phone numbers. It also has features like call routing, voicemail, and call management.
PBX is a system that handles the routing and switching of calls between a business location and the telephone network.
How does a PBX system work?
Benefits of a traditional PBX System

What is VoIP?
And how will it help my business?
VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. VoIP is technology that can transfer voice calls and messages over the web instead of through a traditional copper wire network. Skype and Vonage, for instance, are two popular consumer-level VoIP platforms for video and telephony.
VoIP for business phone systems works essentially the same way, but with the expected features of a business PBX phone system such as call forwarding and multi-user conferencing.
PBX systems vs. VoIP systems
With so many phone system options out there, many businesses are looking to save time, money, and the irritation of dropped or low-quality phone calls. Business owners often decide between PBX and VoIP systems.
Both PBX and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) come with benefits and disadvantages. PBX might be an easier option for internal phone calls or conference calls on one telephone line. With this, an employee can dial an extension to talk to another internal employee rather than dial a full telephone number.
With a VoIP system, calls are made over the internet and can save you up to 80% on monthly phone bills. VoIP technology converts your voice into a digital signal, allowing you to make phone calls from a computer, a VoIP phone, or other data-driven devices. This phone system can save you money while providing excellent sound quality over the internet.
