Press Release

Virtual PBX® Receives Unified Communications® Magazine’s 2010 Product of the Year Award

Open VoIP Peering Recognized for Exceptional Innovation

SAN JOSE, CALIF. (April 19, 2011) – Virtual PBX, the inventor and leading supplier of hosted business phone services, announced today that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has named Virtual PBX’s Open VoIP Peering as a recipient of its 2010 Unified Communications magazine Product of the Year Award.

The pioneer of the hosted PBX market, Virtual PBX became the first company to allow customers to have choice when it comes to using VoIP – known as Open VoIP Peering. Virtual PBX Open VoIP Peering provides businesses with greater flexibility to mix-and-match a VoIP network with any SIP-compliant phone.

“We developed the Open VoIP Peering blended service to give our users the option to use VoIP for cost savings, as well give them the ability to take a call anywhere,” says Paul Hammond, CEO of Virtual PBX. “We pride ourselves on being affordable for our customers, while still providing them with all the features and functionality a small business looks for and needs in a phone system.”

Open VoIP Peering gives users the ability to deploy an enterprise-class phone solution for a very low cash outlay. Existing businesses can now add VoIP interoperability to reduce costs since there is no additional cost from Virtual PBX for accessing soft phones, as is common with competitors who charge extra for proprietary digital-enabled phone extensions.

“Virtual PBX has proven they are committed to quality and excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace. Unified Communications is pleased to grant a 2010 Product of the Year Award for Virtual PBX’s Open VoIP Peering,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “We’re proud to honor their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions from Virtual PBX in the future.”
