Fonality announced today that its award-winning PBXtra^® business phone system came out with top honors in a round-up of SMB VoIP products in this week’s Infoworld. PBXtra, a low-cost and easy-to-use business phone system for small and medium-sized businesses, beat out Microsoft Response Point and four other industry competitors with “a low-cost combination of usability, unlimited extensions, good Outlook integration, and slick reporting.”

The review praised PBXtra as “value-laden” and credited its scalability and user-friendly interface with making it easy to install, use and maintain. Fonality’s fanatical focus on delivering the right balance of rich, accessible functionality at affordable price points has made it the IP-PBX of choice for growing businesses. More than 5,000 companies in over 100 countries are now using Fonality’s business phone systems.

“Time is money and people often overlook ease of use until after they have made their phone system purchase. This can end up being an expensive mistake,” said Fonality CEO Chris Lyman. “We work very hard to deliver a phone system that is feature-rich but installs without the complexities of open heart surgery. We’re proud that Infoworld has recognized this one-two combo.”

Fonality business phone systems are designed for modern workplaces and allow mobile employees to participate on the PBX wherever they work, be it in the office, at home, on the road, or on a mobile device. PBXtra supports both VoIP calling and traditional phone lines, allowing a smooth transition for businesses upgrading their calling services. Its patented Hybrid-Hosted^™ architecture allows employee identity to be maintained as employees travel between work, home, and hotel. PBXtra, when paired with the award-winning HUD^® presence software, provides a unified view of chat, email, and calling for all fixed and mobile workers.
