Onebox Gives Away Free Month of Service
What’s better than Onebox’s cloud-based communications services? A free month of Onebox’s cloud-based communications services.
Onebox this week announced a new free trial offer that gives businesses up to 30 days risk-free to try out its services. During that month, you can tap into the power of a virtual phone system that offers voice, fax, e-mail and conference calling in one cloud-based package. Onebox positions it as a “suite of business-critical communications services.”
Here’s the Onebox advantage: You don’t need any hardware because Onebox offers a virtual PBX. You don’t have to spend on maintenance and support that accompanies installed PBX systems because Onebox offers free 24/7 customer support. And you still get the benefits and features that big corporations with fancy PBXes brag about because Onebox offers a laundry list of cloud-based services. Even better, you don’t have to sign a long-term contract with Onebox, and you get free activation.
What features, exactly? More than a handful with this virtual PBX system:
- An auto-attendant and a customized, professionally-recorded greeting.
- Multi-level menus and extensions
- Voicemail
- Voice-to-Text transcription
- Online faxing
- Call recording
- Conference calling
- Web conferencing
- Administrative tools for tracking usage and managing users
- Free apps for the iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry mobile phones
When you look at it that way, it’s even better than a traditional PBX system because it becomes portable with the free smartphone apps. That’s part of the power of the cloud.
If you are just getting started, try the Onebox Receptionist. You’ll pay a starter price of $49.95 a month (after your first month of free service, that is). This package includes a selection of toll-free or local phone numbers. You can choose from a 2,000-, 3,000- or 5,000-minute plan for each month. And you can get up to 20 extensions per account.
