  • We were able to have secretaries from two different companies answer each other's lines and transfer as needed. No other company could provide that service without a lot of issues, error, or convenience being negatively impacted. SO IMPRESSED!
  • Using the app let's us enjoy the holiday by staying home and doing fun activities while still being able to be connected to clients or potential clients. LOVE LOVE LOVE that we can answer the phone from anywhere at any time!
  • Setting controls: As the PBX portal offers so many options and controls, it's important that the right people are doing the right thing. Setting administrator levels really helps resolve this issue!
