Frequently Asked Questions about Business Phone Systems
Like the name implies, cloud phone systems deliver PBX functionally as a service through the cloud. This means that users get the same calling features of a traditional phone system—call routing, call recording, call transfer, call forwarding, call waiting, auto-attendant, and more—while using voice over internet protocol (VoIP) to facilitate calls over the internet. This is far more cost effective, flexible and scalable infrastructure. Plus you only pay for what you use, not a cent more.
Additionally, hosted PBX usually offers other capabilities for better business communications. RingCentral, for example, is more than just a regular business phone system. We also integrate the features of team messaging, HD video calling, business SMS, eFaxing, IT and line of business analytics, embedded apps, and APIs to give you an all-in-one communications solution that works according to your business needs.
You can get local, toll-free, local, or international business phone numbers along with your VoIP phone systems. This step is important in making sure your employees and clients can reach you anytime, anywhere.
With RingCentral, the process is very easy:
- Sign up for any RingCentral plan.
- Indicate what type of business phone number you need (toll-free or local), and you will be given a list of available numbers to choose from
- You can also port your existing phone numbers, and we’ll take care of that for you. Read more here.
- Need to order more numbers? Once your account is ready, go to your dashboard. Go to Phone Numbers, then choose the Add Number option.
When choosing the best cloud communications solution for your company, you need to consider reliability and SLAs, pricing, advanced telephony features you may need in the future, the cloud vendor’s security practices, the depth and breadth of their integration ecosystem, and the overall value it can add to your business. Here are some points to look for:
- Costs - One of the main reasons you are switching from traditional phones to business VoIP systems is for the savings. Be sure to find a plan that can help your company lessen equipment procurement, maintenance, and upgrade costs. A good virtual phone system, like RingCentral, can be up and running in minutes—meaning no downtime for your business! According to a 2022 survey, RingCentral customers saw a 23% decrease in average telecommunication costs, a 20% decrease in hardware costs, and a 16% decrease in overall IT spend when they migrated to RingCentral MVP.
- Productivity - While the primary purpose of your IP telephony is to manage voice calls, it can also do so much more. With RingCentral, for example, you get unlimited calling, PBX functionality as well as the following unified communications features:
- Audio conferencing
- Business SMS
- Device switching and call to video in 1 click
- Call logs and history

At RingCentral, we have strong, financially backed 99.999% SLAs, and a 15+ quarter proven track record of reliability.

With RingCentral, for instance, you can easily purchase, activate, and assign business phone numbers and virtual extensions to new users or departments. This can quickly be done on your computers or smartphones, too, so there’s no need for additional help or training to complete your expansion.
Businesses have different requirements when it comes to streamlining workflows, improving productivity, and enhancing communications.
