Big news today! We've officially announced Cloud Phone, a new virtual PBX service designed for one-10 person businesses. Cloud Phone’s features go beyond the scope of Voxox's consumer applications, but are more basic than Voxox's hosted IP-PBX and SIP trunking business phone solution.

The all Web-based service provides a dedicated business telephone number, supports multiple users per account, and integrates sophisticated call routing and voicemail-to-email delivery within a sleek, simple design. It's accessible and cost-effective for even the smallest of businesses! We have three subscription options, ranging from $19.95 to $49.95 and a 30 day free trial.

We'll be demo'ing Cloud Phone this week at Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Spain, February 24-27, 2014 (Booth #1E43 – Hall 1) and at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo held in Las Vegas, Nevada, February 26-28, 2014 (Booth #4036). If you're at either show, come get a demo!  Full press release below...

Most of our favorite sites, applications and OTT services are available on our mobiles, but they probably didn’t start out that way. Take Facebook, Twitter and Voxox for example. These three networks launched on the web and crossed over to mobile due the soaring number of mobile users demanding on-the-go services. However, many businesses today are shifting their focus onto designing and developing for mobile first to stay ahead in a world with an increasingly mobile-centric consumer experience.

If you’ve been following the Voxox blog, you already know a few great reasons to choose a virtual PBX solution for your small business phone service – cost savings, easy set-up, scalability, tons of features, etc. So, today we will focus on one special feature: telephone extension numbers and how they can help improve your business communications.

What exactly is a telephone extension number, anyway? It's a phone line connected to an internal phone system like a virtual PBX. Extensions allow multiple lines inside an office or within a business’ network to connect without each phone requiring a separate outside line. For larger businesses with a virtual PBX system, this set-up is a no-brainer, but even very small companies can benefit from phone extensions!

Today, VoIP services are a perfect match for growing companies because the service expands along with business needs. Historically there has been a gap in services for small to medium sized businesses. These include the small business owner who uses their cell phone as their main line of business communication, the business owner who conducts their business virtually, and the owner who has between 1 and 10 employees. These entrepreneurs seek to be perceived as a larger more established business.
