Just wanted to know when any updates on the hosted PBX. On the date this year or next. By the way the resential service is great.

No current ETA. It's basically backburnered at this point.

We're exploding with growth with the residential service and need to make sure we can keep up with that first.

I have a requirement for a hosted PBX solution in our corporation for smaller (less than 10) remote marketing offices. With the economy the way it is, more support to look at ways to provide more cost effective solution (as compared to Avaya G250 switches, full T1, etc....). All of these users carry Blackberry/cell phone devices and climate supports an more "open minded" or "tradeoff" of cost (hardened, bullet proof type of solution) for a much less expensive approach that may have minor availability issues (such as DSL/Cable Modem, Hosted PBX, VPN from connected devices.

Any recommendations from anyone on someone to use that someone has had experience with and is happy with?

Thanks,

If you're looking for a fully hosted solution, here are some I'd recommend checking out:

http://bandwidth.com/hostedvoip/

http://business.packet8.net/virtual_office/

If you want to do something internally, http://switchvox.com is a good software option as well. It's built on Asterisk (so I guess it could be duplicated for free), but is point and click and very easy to use/stable. No Asterisk skills needed.

Those are the ones I have experience with. HostGator still uses Switchvox (running on VOIPo service) for almost 300 employees now with virtually no issues.
