You need to decide how important add on features are vs cost. While our entry level systems do everything required of a modern PABX/PBX solution, you do have to make some trade-offs when pursuing a budget.

There are three core phone systems types to choose from and in a rapidly developing environment like sub-Saharan Africa, it’s not always easy to decide on which one. Often in cases it’s a matter of looking at what infrastructure (i.e Fibre, VOIP, Wireless) is available in your area and secondly what your needs are both now and in the future. Some clients wish to future proof, others just want to ensure they can keep their numbers if they move premises and some want to be able to have full unified communication across many branches. It’s all possible with the right PABX solution.
