A hosted PBX moves your phone system off the closet hardware and into a managed cloud platform. No on-site PBX to maintain, no big upfront purchase, and the ability to add or move numbers without a truck roll. We build, run, and support it, so your staff manage calls, not equipment.

What a hosted PBX is, in plain terms

PBX stands for Private Branch Exchange, the system that connects calls inside your organization and out to the public network. A traditional PBX is a box on your premises that you buy, maintain, and pay to expand. A hosted PBX runs that same call routing in the cloud and reaches your handsets and apps over your internet connection. We manage the platform off-site, so there are no installation costs and no IT burden on your end.

Why organizations move to a hosted PBX

Lower cost, no capital outlay

No purchase, no maintenance contract, no periodic forklift upgrade. A predictable monthly cost instead of a capital project that clears a board vote.

Faster to stand up

No PBX to rack, wire, and provision on site, so a new office, wing, or department is answering calls in a fraction of the time.

Remote and multi-site by design

Staff use their office extension from home, a satellite office, or a second campus, with the same number and the same features.

Scale lines on demand

Add or remove numbers and extensions as enrollment swings or you hire seasonally, with no wait on a carrier to install physical lines.

Easy moves

Plug the IP handset into broadband at the new location. The extension and number follow the device, so a move is not a reprogramming project.

Resilient when the building is not

Call routing lives in the cloud, so calls roll to voicemail, a mobile, or another site automatically when a building loses power or connectivity.

Frequently asked questions

What is a hosted PBX and how is it different from a traditional PBX?

A traditional PBX is hardware you own and maintain on site. A hosted PBX runs the same call routing in a managed cloud platform and reaches your phones over the internet. You keep the features and your numbers, but skip the hardware purchase, the maintenance, and the on-site failure point.

Will a hosted PBX work with my existing phone numbers?

In most cases, yes. We port your existing numbers to the hosted platform so callers reach you exactly as they do today, and we handle the porting paperwork and coordinate the cutover so there is no service gap.

Can a hosted PBX support remote and multi-site staff?

Yes. Each user keeps the same extension and number whether they are at the main office, a satellite site, a second campus, or working from home. Adding a location is a configuration change, not a hardware install.

Is a hosted PBX a good fit for schools and government offices?

It is. Hosted phone systems give districts and county offices central management across every building, predictable operating cost instead of large capital purchases, and continuity when a site loses power. The platform supports Kari's Law direct 911 dialing.

What happens to my phones during a power outage or building emergency?

Because the call routing lives in the cloud, calls can automatically roll to voicemail, a mobile phone, or another location when a building loses power or connectivity, so your lines stay reachable.

Who maintains the hosted PBX?

True IP Solutions does. We run and support the platform off-site, so there is no PBX hardware for your team to maintain. Your staff manage users and routing through a control panel, and you call us when you need anything more.
