Economical
By avoiding the need for expensive PBX hardware, PBX as a service is the financially sensible solution. Using PBX as a service eliminates the need for a costly PBX base system, extra, overpriced phones, cabling needs, monthly line rental fees and potential large phone bills. These expenses often place PBX systems outside the budget of small and medium businesses.
Cloudfire Hosting’s PBX as a service opens up PBX functionality to any sized business by providing services at a fraction of the cost of traditional PBX systems. On top of this, our call rates are lower than the major providers, including Telstra and Optus.
