What is 3CX?
3CX is an award winning, software-based VoIP telephone system, that provides a feature-rich solution at a cost-effective price, with over half a million running systems globally and 12 million users.
3CX is continuously developed to ensure that it offers a market leading set of features.
It is a great, flexible product for small and growing businesses, and especially good for remote and hybrid working.
3CX is also trusted by global brands such as McDonalds, Carlsberg and Holiday Inn, so you will be in good company.
What makes 3CX different?
In the world of Cloud telephony and SaaS, 3CX is unusual in that it does not use a per seat licence model. Instead, 3CX licencing is based on the number of simultaneous calls that you need to make, which ensures you only pay for what you actually use.
What is Hosted 3CX?
3CX is a software-based solution, which can be used in all sorts of different ways. PurpleUC offers 3CX as a hosted solution, so we take out all the complexities for you…

Can it replace my traditional phone system?
Yes, Hosted 3CX can entirely replace your traditional phone system or stand-alone Voice over IP (VoIP) phone system. In fact, it will provide you with more flexibility, lower costs and better resilience.
Is it reliable?
