VirtualPBX, an award-winning business VoIP service provider, is excited to announce a new cost-effective plan and price reductions to its 2022 Business Phone Plans. In a focused effort to consistently deliver innovative customer experiences at an affordable cost, the phone system developer now offers a new cost-effective pricing plan – VirtualPBX Starter Plan.
The New Cost-Effective “Starter Plan”
Our newest Starter plan was created for our customers that only have the need for our Web Phone or to forward calls to a cell phone or landline. Although this plan does not include VoIP devices, it does include unlimited local minutes, 1 Auto Attendant, Ring Groups, Audio Conferencing, Business Texting, Faxing, and Call Logs. Offered at a monthly rate of $9 user/ month or an annual rate of $7 user/month, you can’t beat the value that this plan offers!
Also Introducing Virtual Extensions!
Need to step away from your desk phone and don’t want to miss an important phone call? The Virtual Extension feature can help you stay connected by providing an extension to another phone number. Below are some examples of where you can have your calls redirected:
- A self-serve phone in a reception area
- Forwarding calls to a landline or mobile phone
- Redirect calls to a conference room, breakroom, lab, warehouse, or common phone area
What’s Changed?
Price reductions on the Flex, Pro, and Premier Plans!
Now offered at $16/month or $18/month annually, the entry-level Flex Plan is still the perfect product for hybrid workers or entrepreneurs, now adding better-than-basic features, including SMS, Video, Ring Groups, and Call Recording with 250 GB of storage and more.
The Pro Plan is a step up from Flex, a perfect option for most businesses needing advanced department insights. Features on Pro will include multiple Auto-Attendants, ACD Queues Pro, Microsoft Teams Integration, API Access, Hot Desking, Dynamic Caller ID, and 1,000 Toll-Free Minutes for only $20/month or $24/month annually.
Finally, our Premier Plan is our most elite offering at $28/month or $34/month annually, with features such as Advanced Call Reports, Dial In System Access, Live Wallboards, Custom Call Flows, and 2,500 Toll-Free minutes.

Meet the NEW VirtualText App
Posted on April 12, 2022 by Jenae Townsend
VirtualPBX, an award-winning business VoIP service provider, announced a powerhouse addition to their VirtualPBX products, the new VirtualText App. In their consistent effort to always deliver innovative customer experiences, the phone system developer is offering an early release look of this unlimited business texting benefit. Chief Marketing Officer Rachel Anderson had this to say about the new VirtualText release:
“We are so excited for this early release opening of the VirtualText App to our customers. At VirtualPBX, we pride ourselves on listening closely to what our customers need to succeed. This new endeavor enhances our communications and will open up more opportunities for us to explore as a company.”
What’s the New VirtualText?
The VirtualText App will allow users to share business numbers across groups to enhance communication with customers, associates, and more. Anyone can send and receive text messages from main business phone numbers, and it enables users to text from unique local or toll-free phone numbers. It will go beyond basic text capabilities and elevate business functionality. The VirtualText App can manage multiple messages across various devices—keeping all business conversations in one place. Here are some of the perks of VirtualText.
Appointment Reminders
The missed appointment is detrimental to any industry when customers are no-shows. VirtualText App allows users to send automatic appointment reminders and confirmations to customers. It will alleviate the issues of missed appointments and help schedule out bulk reminders through the ease of one portal.
Curbside Pickup Convenience
Another benefit to VirtualText is the real-time notifications sent over text messaging that will prioritize businesses’ time management. The product will also provide canned responses that immediately activate through keyword push notifications. Users can utilize this benefit by tracking the progress of curbside orders and knowing when customers arrive to pick up purchases.
Delivery Prompts
Online shipping and deliveries will be even easier to manage for businesses. The VirtualText App will let enterprises give customers access to the package shipping journey when it leaves distribution. This text messaging application will sync with various mobile apps, allowing delivery drivers to notify customers when a package is at the front door.
The VirtualText App delivers SMS and MMS messaging with support for multi-user management of conversations for all business contacts. Learn more about early access to VirtualText.

VirtualPBX Launches NEW Business Phone Plans
Posted on January 19, 2022 by Jenae Townsend
VirtualPBX, an award-winning business VoIP service provider, announced some exciting changes to its 2022 Business Phone Plans. In a focused effort to consistently deliver innovative customer experiences, the phone system developer now offers an updated business phone lineup – VirtualPBX Flex and VirtualPBX Pro. CEO and Chairman Paul Hammond shared what inspired this new direction to replace existing plans.
“We take great pride in our service and support for our customer’s trust. As a direct result, their needs and values have always been first and foremost our priority since we started over 20 years ago.
These past couple of years have provided an opportunity to deliver the right solutions that match the changing landscape of business communications today and tomorrow in a post-pandemic world. With these new business phone plans, we made a point to listen and supply our customers with a more straightforward way of transitioning their business to the next level of success.”
What’s Included?
The Flex and Pro Plan takes customers through a straightforward self-service sign-up process, creating a more streamlined experience for the user. The entry-level Flex Plan is still the perfect product for hybrid workers or entrepreneurs, now adding better-than-basic features, including SMS, Video, Ring Groups, and Call Recording with 250 GB of storage and more.
A step up from Flex is the Pro Plan, a perfect option for most businesses needing advanced department insights. Features on Pro will include multiple Auto-Attendants, ACD Queues Pro, Microsoft Teams Integration, API Access, Hot Desking, Advanced Call Reports, and 1,000 Toll-Free Minutes. As a bonus, Pro Plan now comes with 1TB of Call Recording storage – the most of any previous VirtualPBX plan.
Custom and CRM Plans
Enterprises looking to upgrade from Pro will have VirtualPBX Custom and CRM Plans. These business phone plans will not include free trials or self-service sign-up. But instead, it will direct prospective customers to a dedicated Sales Team for a more personal touch to deliver on specific deliverables. The Custom Plan includes advanced features like Dynamic Caller ID, DISA, SIP Trunks, Custom Call Flows, Auto-Route, Select Route, Auto Forward, 2,500 Toll-Free Minutes, on top of everything in the Pro package. CRM Plan consists of Salesforce CRM Integration and 5,000 Toll-Free Minutes, and both plans will include 2TB of Call Recording storage.
VirtualPBX’s popular Call Recording feature will be a staple for all the new 2022 plans.
Free Trials Are Back
FREE trial offers are back with the Flex and Pro Plan! This 14-day benefit will be available for customers who utilize the self-service sign-up and begins automatically on the first day. There are no restrictions on features or minutes during the trial period of their chosen plan. After the trial period, the customer can expect to be billed per the product plan selected.
Dedication to Support
These new plans have been created after a close examination of how VirtualPBX customers use their service. Of those conversations, the points that struck a chord came from new customers who had recently changed service from other providers. The most standout point? Support. While VirtualPBX has many competitors in the VoIP market, fewer and fewer offer substantial support to their customer base. After over 20 years in business, VirtualPBX shows no signs of changing course. Personalized account configuration and optimization, weekly webinar training sessions, and 24/7 support are still offered to ALL customers, regardless of their size.

VirtualPBX Announces Microsoft Teams Integration
Posted on October 19, 2021 by Rachel Anderson
VirtualPBX, award-winning business VoIP service provider, announced today that they’ve released a new integration with Microsoft Teams. This latest integration joins a family of popular integrations from VirtualPBX including Zapier, Webhooks, Salesforce CRM, Amazon AWS, and API. According to COO, Lon Baker, “this latest integration is in line with one of our most core intentions – to be where our customers are. Especially when we’re dealing with an integration, we want to capitalize on what customers appreciate about the tool they’re integrating with, bringing more value without breaking down where they’re finding success.”
In the case of the VirtualPBX + Microsoft Teams Integration, the indication from customers who requested this feature was clear. These customers find great value in Microsoft Teams; it keeps their employees productive, organizes files and events, and maintains a level of focus by providing an all-in-one interface. It was important that an integration with VirtualPBX not create a rift and instead take advantage of existing options in Microsoft Teams to answer and make calls, view call history, and check voicemail.
But what these customers were looking for was a way to keep their employees in Microsoft Teams while also providing a better experience for incoming callers and more useful data for business leaders. This is where VirtualPBX shines. While employees in Microsoft Teams enjoy the same experience they’re used to, this integration adds professional call routing features, Advanced Call Reports, Auto Attendant menus, and department options. The Microsoft Teams integration simply acts as an endpoint – a device associated with a user. Calls flow as they would with any other device, users simply answer or begin calls within the Microsoft Teams native interface.
New and existing customers can integrate with Microsoft Teams on a variety of VirtualPBX Unlimited Minute Plans: Essentials, Advanced, and through Custom Voice Solutions – an outside-the-box option for customers. More details can be found on the Microsoft Teams Integration feature page.
