Previously, I'd recommend 3cx to anyone looking for a PBX. Unfortunately, I no longer can, as they just don't care about their customers. I've not spoken to a single person who thinks the v20 GUI is... See more

The 3CX V18 backup can't be restored to V20 if you don't set a 'system owner' To make matters ridiculous, V18 can't be activated to make the necessary modification, nor can the backup be restored... See more

Awful Company

3CX by far exceeds my needs

As a solo and owner of 101SkinBody.com in Houston-TX. I was so frustrated when I was looking for an online chat to add to my website. EVERY SINGLE ONE I found was expensive for my budget. After reviewing over 25+ "FREE" to use which by free had nothing. 3CX by far exceeds my needs.

After the 25+ online chats, NONE(ZERO) of those was 3CX. I am not sure what's up with that!

I found 3CX by Youtubing another "open-source" online chat and luck me, 3CX pop up in the organic list with 1(ONE) video of this guy explaining "How to get online chat on your website for free"

I have the whole thing up and running in less than 15 minutes - and to my surprise, I can even get phone calls.

I see some reviews here that I don't see to be authentic. Whatever how you decide to use it - the UI is super intuitive. You just need to read with attention and follow the direction (If you don't have computer knowledge enough- call a friend that does before complaining it does not work)

After having the whole thing set up in 15 minutes, I jump into their online chat support to thank the free service for small businesses. In a matter of 1-2 minutes, someone show up asking me if I had a question - it can be better than that!

Anyway, this review start getting too long, but I couldn't be quiet about this great platform. You can't go wrong.

Bad connectivity and very poor sound quality (3CX Hosted Startup Pro, 3CX App)

I cannot recommend 3CX hosted cloud subscriptions, because BASICS do not work! See the other ratings at Google Play Store for the 3CX app. The app is very silent, you have to talk all the time VERY LOUD, 175% is set already! Then everyone of our team gets PERMANENTLY displayed this BAD CONNECTIVITY banner in the app. We all have small interrupts and the callers report many times a bad phone quality. Even outside of any company network (fiberglass) with mobile connection 4G or 5G and high speed internet test results it stays the same. Then we tested with different smartphones and all employees report this poor performance in any network! 3CX Startup Pro is used and maybe they want you to buy a higher subscription so that you get a better performance? We will quit and take something else!

Superb customer service

I have been using 3cx since version 3 and the service I just received within a couple minutes of having an issues was superb. I find the configurability of the phone system to be top notch and call routing, ease of phone connectivity, dect devices, and all around connectivity and communication options to be way beyond other offerings. The price point is a 1/10th of other options as well.

Excellent

Excellent, professional service. Fast customer service, quality service. Tested the self hosted service when it was free a few years ago and it was interesting. This time Im trying the free tier for less than 10 users, Integration to Wordpress is a breeze for communication and I look forward to testing the service further, its great to be able to get them on chat to sort out problems.

Effective Online Agent Support

The online help via chat is good and the ability to call an agent or convert/combine the chat into a voice call is even more helpful. The agents seem very knowledgeable and can offer guidance and help to get things setup or make system configuration changes. I have only had to use the help a couple of times but have found this facility very helpful.
