A hosted IP-PBX, also known as a Virtual PBX, is a service that uses the Internet Protocol to provide private branch exchange (PBX) features and functionality. It does not require any additional equipment located in your office to manage these features or calls which offers many advantages. In other words, a hosted IP-PBX is a business-class phone system provided over the Internet.

* Free IP Phones are given to customers that pay their annual subscription up front. If service is cancelled prior to the 1st year anniversary date, the cost of the IP phones are taken out of the prorated amount of credit. Free phones given are a Cisco XXXX Series IP Telephone. If you wish to use an Admin Console or presence you must purchase different equipment.

Unfortunately – Yes. Voice over IP is still telephone service and subject to the same intra/interstate taxes and tariffs as traditional phone service.  See below for a complete list of those rates.

  • Federal Taxes 3.00%
  • Federal Universal Service Fund 15.70%
  • State & Local Taxes 5.60%
  • State Universal Service Fund 1.35%
  • State E911 Tax $0.20

Add an 8XX number to any existing enhanced DID. This number can be attached to any extension, or inbound number

An Enhanced DID has caller ID and E911 information attached to it.  It also allows you to publish your calling party name, or telephone number to any destination that has caller id as a feature. Most mobile devices will however only recognize the calling party number and utilize the internal address book to associate a name to the calling party.

An additional number can be attached to any extension CGI provides. This does not allow the telephone line to receive an additional call, only allows an additional number to be routed to the destination.

A listing allows you to publish your Name in the white pages associated to the Telephone Number and E911 location.
