I can seamlessly pick up calls on either the computer or on my cell phone > > **Cons**: Both the PC and Cell phone APP could use interface update as it is a bit clunky and hard to find certain functions like how to transfer a call unless you read up on it. > > I work fully remote and am using Cellular internet and it works great; I make calls and receive calls all day and rarely run into a issue. ----- ### "Very good and cost effective" — 4.0/5 > **Dennis** | *4 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: 3CX is very easy to set up and get going. The soft phone, web interface, and admin software are all well designed and easy to use. > > **Cons**: Unlike other VoIP / SIP based systems, to connect physical phones to 3CX you need to either have one of their phones that acts as an SBC or you need to set up an SBC in a small Linux VM. Other systems do not require this. > > Overall 3CX is very good and you can start out for foree. ----- ### "Best VoIP Solutions" — 5.0/5 > **Orlando** | *18 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that we can configure a digital receptionist instead of hiring an actual reception to manage and direct calls. > > **Cons**: The Microsoft integration doesn't work in real-time for Microsoft Teams availability status, and Microsoft profile pictures can't be managed from admin console unless it is auto populated using Microsoft 365 sync. ----- ### "Great Phone System with Texting Option" — 5.0/5 > **Emma** | *24 January 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 3CX is very easy to use, in the office and outside of the office. Their app is user friendly and has amazing features that make it easy to use. The SMS option is easy to use as well and helpful for our clients. Any issues we have are quickly resolved with their customer support team. > > **Cons**: The only complaint our firm has is there is sometimes a delay in receiving texts, and clients have complained it is difficult to hear us at times. ----- ### "3CX the Easy way to do Voice and Unified Communications" — 4.0/5 > **Fernando** | *6 February 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 3CX is a feature full VoIP PBX for small, medium, and enterprise businesses. It can use several IP Phones like CISCO, Yealink, Fanvil, and more, including mobile and web apps. The number of available service providers give several choices for business services. It is powerful and flexible, > > **Cons**: 3CX has been changing the licensing format for some years now and has moved away from perpetual licenses in favor of annual licenses. > > I have been working with 3CX since it was on version 3 and have seen it get better with more and more features and capabilities. It is currently on version 20. After 20+ years of using 3CX I am very familiar with its features, capabilities and use. ----- Page: 1 / 20\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/4936/3cx-phone-system?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/4936/3cx-phone-system) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
