Remote Call Forward (RCF)
Remote call forward (RCF) service is a type of call routing that lets your customers reach you by calling a local phone number – even when you don't have an office in that local calling area. With RCF, incoming calls forward directly to your choice of any phone number! Since your customers don't dial a long-distance number, RCF service can help you create a local identity for your company without having an office, landlines or employees in a particular region. The number of RCF "paths" you order will allow you to handle the volume of incoming calls you anticipate and the number at which you decide to have calls terminate on will determine the cost per minute of each incoming call.
Foreign Exchange (FX)
FX and virtual FX services are call routing features that, similarly to remote call forwarding, allow your customers to dial a local phone number to reach you – even though your office is not in that customer's local calling area. FX service can be delivered by a dedicated circuit that supports both inbound and outbound calls with a fixed monthly price that is distance sensitive. Virtual FX service provides a less expensive alternative and supports inbound calls.
Centrex
Centrex service provides a rich and flexible feature set that integrates office communications within a single office or across multiple offices in an area served by the same telephone central office. Centrex can be used as an alternative to purchasing a Key or PBX phone system or can be directed to accommodate growth that can't be supported by an existing phone system. The most-often used Centrex features include direct inward dialing (DID), station-to-station calling and itemized call detail records for outbound calls.
ISDN PRI
Integrated services digital network (ISDN) PRI provides reliable and cost-effective solution for carrying voice and data services for customers who prefer a circuit that's dedicated to their direct inward dialing (DID), direct outbound dialing (DOD), data, and toll-free traffic.
