At OnSIP, joining new advancements has dependably been a concentration of our business telephone benefit offering, and as of late, we declared our entrance into the free virtual PBX space.
What is a Free Virtual PBX?

At the point when two SIP endpoints make a call to each other, the call never “leaves” the Internet (like email). At the point when a SIP endpoint calls a plain old telephone number, in any case, it needs to “bounce” from the web lines to the telephone lines. That “bounce” obliges assets to make the transformation and causes costs en route. This is the thing that makes SIP-to-SIP calling through a PBX free, while a telephone line empowered framework must be paid for.
A free virtual PBX supplier deals with associating the two closures of those SIP-to-SIP voice calls, yet they can be prepared to do more than that, as well.
