Overview of Traditional PBX Systems PBX is an acronym for Private Branch Exchange and the equipment is used for interconnecting telephone lines and extensions in an office or within a business premises. The exchange is similar to a central office exchange but it is much smaller and privately owned. The primary purpose of a PBX is to route incoming calls to the appropriate extensions within the business premises and to share a group of trunk lines amongst extensions. When an outside call is required, an access number is dialed to access an outside trunk line. The PBX then transfers the call to the phone company s Central Office. The telephone company then connects the call to the desired external number. Instead of manually connecting a call with a patch cable, a traditional PBX uses a miniature switch to route the analog signal. Traditional PBX systems were initially based on analog technology and could support only a limited number of telephone lines. Eventually, analog PBX sw

Cost-Effective Toll Free Numbers for Small Business A toll free number is quite often euphemistically described as a ‘phone number with reverse charges’. It is called so, because it is the called party that pays for the call charges and not the caller. Traditionally, the toll-free numbers have the 800 area code as prefix and hence the users commonly refer to toll free numbers as 800 numbers. Due to the overwhelming popularity of toll free numbers - particularly amongst the business community - all 800 numbers stand almost exhausted.
