HarleyBabe Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Have established my own firm but now that there are staff in other states I need a good virtual phone system and other communication programs. Can anyone save me some time and give me some advise on this. We would like a virtual receptionist and the client ability to then dial by extension or dial to any of our desks. Also looking for virtual conference software. Any hints would be great. Of course need this yesterday. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJo Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Depends on how "geeky" you are/want to be. I use 3CX (www.3cx.com) as a virtual PBX in house, with a VOIP service provider. They offer a fully functional "free version" (limiting the number of line to 8, I think). You can have remote "extensions," and a virtual receptionist, voicemail, etc. I even have it set to "simulring" my desk phone, cell phone, and even "skype" if I'm travelling. You can "set it up yourself" or pay to have it done. The more complex the setup, the more valuable a consultant/reseller would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KristenE Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 For things like this, I find that the web site "TopTenReviews" pretty helpful. Here is a link to their reviews for phone systems: http://business-voip-review.toptenreviews.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Below Ground Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 If you are using this system/service for faxes, be very careful. We have a fairly good system, but the internet fex is horrible. Faxes are difficult to do, and average wait to recieve the fax is 2 hours. Just horrible. Having braved the blizzard, I take a moment to contemplate the meaning of life. Should I really be riding in such cold? Why are my goggles covered with a thin layer of ice? Will this effect coverage testing? QPA, QKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
