What Is VoIP?
VoIP, which stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol, is a type of technology that converts your voice into a data signal, allowing you to make and receive phone calls from any device. You must have a reliable internet connection for your phone calls to be made or received.
What Is A PBX Phone System?
PBX, Private Branch Exchange, phone systems are central networks within an organization. These networks can route both your incoming and outgoing calls while offering a wide variety of advanced features. Compared to other phones, PBX systems are more scalable, flexible, and cost-effective.
What Is A Softphone?
Softphones are pieces of software, such as Skype, Facetime, or Slack, that allow you to make and receive calls through devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets, and others.
What Is Auto-Attendant?
Auto-attendant is a software that allows incoming calls to be transferred to a particular extension automatically without the need for an operator or receptionist. This is an excellent feature for companies that receive a large number of incoming calls.
What Is A Cloud-Based Office Phone System?
Cloud-based phone systems are taken off-site to a provider who will handle all maintenance, hardware, and software needs for your business. These phone systems can grow with your business throughout the years without costing you an ex-tensive amount of money.

Can I Record Calls?
The recording feature depends on the type of phone system you invest in. While some phone systems offer the call recording feature automatically, others only offer it for an additional cost.

The voicemail-to-text feature simplifies the entire calling process. This type of phone service converts all your voice messages to texts, providing you with a tran-scription you can read anytime.
