As we all know very well, it is esse
ntial for a home office or small business to manage their front office with a Voicemail PBX Telephone System for that professional image in answering your phone calls, routing callers and taking voice mail messages.
The reality is, most can’t afford the luxury of a corporate PBX Phone System, as the capital investment is prohibitive for a starting new and small company.
This is where the economical Virtual PBX Phone System, integrated even with a Toll Free Number, comes in at a price where a smaller home business can't afford not to be without.
For a minimal monthly rental fee of less than ten dollars, plus a low per minute toll free charge, you can now sound and play on the same level as the big enterprises.
Typically, a Virtual PBX communication telephone system requires no equipment to purchase or maintain by you and seamlessly integrates with your existing telephone lines and infrastructure.
Most Virtual PBX System features an Auto Attendant to greet callers with your own voice message or with a professionally recorded greeting and then distributing the calls throughout your system.
Think of an Auto Attendant as a receptionist that will consistently and pleasantly answer your phone calls 24/7 and is NOT on your payroll!
Voicemail plays a big part in a virtual phone system, in which it can include, multiple mailboxes for assignment of a private password protected mailbox and telephone extensions for each key person in your establishment. Your associates can all be located in the same office or geographically scattered in different states or provinces.
Look for a Virtual Phone System that has standard calling features such as, call forwarding, call blocking, call limiting, call announce, call transfer and caller I.D.
Email delivery of voice mail messages and online personal Internet Control Panel is often an optional service but a very practical way of receiving your voice messages in your inbox as MP3 audio files and also for setting up your entire system online at the click of a mouse.
The Online Internet Control Panel let’s you instantly make changes to your call forwarding numbers and let’s you schedule the time and date you want your calls routed or sent to voicemail. It also allows you to assign and make changes to mailboxes for your associates and departments in your organization.
Most sophisticated Virtual PBX Systems have an array of optional services to help you manage your business more efficiently and to simplify your busy life. Here are some of the options available that you may want to add to your basic virtual phone system…
Dial by Name, After Hours Greeting, Call Queuing, Mailbox Rotation, Fax Mail, Fax Back, Email Delivery, Voice on Demand (the ultimate marketing hotline) and many more to choose from.
The obvious advantages of the Virtual PBX Phone System over the on premises hardware PBX owned is, the low cost, portability, versatility in setting-up your own system online or by phone, and the ability to cancel your service at any time you wish. Many have a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee from start of service.
