The NextPBX is the ultimate Virtual PBX for your small business. Whether you require a local or toll free number, this auto attendant service will adapt to the way you work by providing a main greeting with multiple mailboxes. Each mailbox can be configured between four different applications of your choice. These applications include: voicemail, hotline, direct dial or your own personal virtual assistant.
When your callers call your NextPBX number they will hear your professionally recorded main greeting and can dial any of the mailbox extensions. Your calls can be forwarded to you on your cell phone, home phone, VOIP line etc. Or if you are in a meeting, just status your extension to go to voicemail. For easy management, all messages are sent to your e-mail in MP3 or WAV file format and your NextPBX number will also act as a fax machine, allowing you to send and receive faxes. Just like messages, faxes are sent to your email as a PDF or TIF file. You will have the ability to send files to a fax machine from your account dashboard online.
