Hosted PBX
Hosted PBX is used to describe a phone system that is hosted in the cloud (or Internet) and works via VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). Some benefits of Hosted PBX include being location independent, not needing equipment, and being easy to manage. Add and remove phones when required, with minimal configuration. Hosted PBX offers a significantly richer feature set compared to older on-premise deployments

Ring group
A ring group is a feature that will allow you to assign a set of users or devices that ring simultaneously or in a hunt mode, one after another. The common practice for this feature is for a department such as sales or support, where you want inbound calls to ring on all staff associated to these departments.
Voice menu
An automated attendant can be used to prompt the callers to a range of interactive options which directs to the appropriate department. Press 1 for support, 2 for sales or 3 for accounts. You can create multi-level IVRs using our call-flow block diagram.
Caller ID prefix
The caller ID prefix will prepend a custom text to the inbound caller ID. This can help you to identify how the call was processed. For example, if the call went via IVR menu and the caller selected 1 for sales, you can prepend the text ‘sales’ as a caller ID prefix.
PIN code
Add a PIN code to your inbound call flow for security for applications such as conference rooms, DISA and also to stop callers accessing certain users or groups. As an example, add a PIN code to a ring group for premium support.

Every recording emailed will include caller ID, time of the call, user ID and custom subject field. Connect to your CRM to be automatically added to client profiles or store within a custom recording’s mailbox for compliance for years to come.
Queue
When you are unable to pick up a call immediately the call can be placed in a queue with your customised music on hold. Users can answer the calls when they become available. Configure a range of metrics for timeout clauses, exit codes, periodic announcements and wrap up times.
Caller ID routing
Route inbound calls to specific destinations based on their caller ID. As an example, send calls inbound from a specific location to the local office or branch.
Blacklist
Add your problem callers to a blacklist that will automatically terminate inbound calls. A good example of this feature would be to add the caller ID’s of your problem callers so that they get a busy tone every time they attempt to dial your number.
