What is 3CX Phone System for Windows?
3CX Phone System is a software based PBX for Windows that works with SIP standard based IP Phones, SIP Trunks and VoIP Gateways to provide a
complete PBX solution – without the inflated cost and management headaches of an ‘old style’ PBX. The IP PBX supports all traditional PBX features
but also includes many new mobility and productivity features. An IP PBX is also referred to as a VoIP Phone System or SIP Server. Calls are
sent as data packets over the computer data network instead of the traditional phone network. Phones share the network with computers so no
separate phone wiring is required. With the use of a VoIP/PSTN gateway, you can connect existing phone lines to the IP PBX to make and receive
phone calls via a regular PSTN line. You can also use a VoIP Provider, which removes the requirement for a gateway. 3CX Phone System interoperates
with standard SIP softphones, IP phones or smartphones, and provides internal call switching, as well as inbound and outbound calling via the
standard phone network or via a VoIP service.
Features

(not necessarily dedicated).
