If clients call your company Number the Virtual Receptionist is greeting them. This is a great way of leaving a professional first impression with your clients when they are contacting you while you can distribute incoming calls to the right members of your team.

What is the difference between a “Hosted IVR”, Hosted IVR Plus” and a “Hosted IP PBX”?

Our “Hosted IVR” does not require any hardware and forwards incoming calls to mobile phones. The key advantage is that this system is very cost effective and lean. No hardware needs to be purchased. You don’t even need an Internet connection. Hosted in a Tier3+ Data Center in Bangkok your IVR is very reliable. The Hosted IVR is charged 1000 THB per month.

Our “Hosted IVR Plus” allow you to connect up to 8 Softphone extensions on Android and I Phones for 2500 THB per month. This Solution is aimed at teams that also want to make outbound calls via their office phone number and make free calls between team members. Incoming calls are free of charge as they are not forwarded.

A “Hosted or Onsite IP PBX” on the other hand has more functionally and is used by companies that have their own office space. See our comparison chart below:
