Many people ask us what the difference is between a PBX and one virtual call center. The short answer: are the same thing. PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is the technical term; in Spanish, we call it a virtual or cloud-based phone system. Both handle your company’s calls—extensions, voice menus, call transfers, and reports—but the virtual version operates over the internet, without a metal box in your office.
