Verizon Connects Smartphones, PBXes
InformationWeek Wed Apr 9, 1:00 PM ET
Verizon Business has begun offering PBX software that transfers the capabilities of an office phone to a smartphone.
The company said last week that it’s using Ascendent Systems’ Voice Mobility Suite as the basis for its PBX Mobile Extension to support secure access for BlackBerry users back to the corporate PBX or VoIP server. Ascendent’s parent company, Research In Motion, is also the maker of the BlackBerry.
The software-based service, enables large-business and government customers to avoid the complexity and cost inherent in purchasing and deploying separate hardware,” Verizon said, in a statement. “With this offering, companies will be able to use standard off-the-shelf servers.”

Tollfreenumber.ORG works with this new Verizon service. Users of the two services use a Tollfreenumber.ORG 1-800 phone number which ring directly into Verizon’s software-based phone system. Tollfreenumber.ORG users report typical bills 40% cheaper than the national main line telephone when it comes to having their own 1-800 phone number..
