3CX is a powerful, open-standards software PBX that disrupts traditional VoIP pricing. Instead of paying per user, you pay for simultaneous calls. Enjoy enterprise-grade features, deep CRM integration, and omnichannel contact centre capabilities—whether hosted in the cloud or deployed on-premise.
3CX offers unparalleled value and flexibility. It is designed for businesses that want maximum feature sets without being penalised by expensive per-user monthly subscriptions as they scale.
From basic call routing to advanced contact centre operations, 3CX provides an all-inclusive feature set out of the box, managed through a single, intuitive web console.
Because 3CX is a software-based PBX, you aren't forced into a single deployment model. T2K VoIP can build the system exactly where you want it.
3CX licenses are traditionally billed annually based on Simultaneous Calls (SimCalls) rather than per user. Below are the three main feature editions available. T2K bundles these with secure SIP trunks and support for a complete solution.
