Virtual PABX systems operate just like a traditional PABX, however with one difference. The PABX equipment is hosted within the Broadband Solutions data center, and your telephone handsets connect to the PABX equipment over a dedicated DSL link to your office(s) using Voice over IP (VoIP). This significantly reduces your upfront costs for the PABX, as the PABX unit itself is owned and maintained by Broadband Solutions! You simply purchase your handsets and your DSL line, and start using your new PABX immediately! It also significantly reduces your line rental costs, as your multiple lines are now delivered over a single DSL connection!
Our Virtual PABXs are suitable for businesses with anywhere from 1 to 30 staff. They are also perfectly suited to businesses with multiple office locations, or for businesses with staff who work from home. With only the one Virtual PABX, and with DSL connections to each office, businesses can now take advantage of the many benefits of having office phones at all locations connected to the same Virtual PABX, and all able to make free calls between locations using 3 digit extension numbers.
All the standard PABX features exist with Virtual PABXs, including IVRs, voicemail, call transfer, call hold, call queing, music on hold, and many more.
As with traditional PABXs, each Virtual PABX is allocated a certain number of telephone lines, and also a certain number of telephone handsets, depending on exact requirements. The various packages that we offer are listed below:
| Type | Phone Handsets | Phone Lines | Monthly Fee |
| Small Business | Up to 10 | 5 | $149/month |
| Medium Business | Up to 20 | 10 | $189/month |
