PBX at a glance

A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a telephone switching system. It provides a central connection hub for all the telephones in your company, switching connections between them. All phone lines in your company are connected to a single external line. A PABX thus allows an SMME to have a single external phone line that all staff in the company can use, while each has their own extension.

What is VoIP?

The most basic form of VoIP that most people are familiar with is using a microphone to chat over Skype. Vodacom Business VoIP allows you to make voice calls over a broadband connection, rather than using traditional telephone lines. It combines the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of Internet data transfer with telephony. VoIP technology can offer an SMME substantial voice call cost savings on local, national, international and cellular calls.
