Looking for a system/setup of Press 1 for x, Press 2 for y, etc.

I had thought Google Voice did this .....

Interesting question. I design these (among other things) for a living, but I can't think of any hosted ones to recommend.

I do hosted PBX, is this for personal or business use?

I've had good luck with http://www.Anveo.com .  It lets you build rather complicated workflows.

Go with 8x8, you wont tear out your hair and it's dirt cheap and simple to run.


No hardware other than your phones.



If you go 8x8, let me know, I'll refer you.

For business.

Just 3 options for now that forward to another phone


Main - 1 Phone1
........ - 2 Phone 2
........ - 3, goes to Phone 3

Cell phones in our case.

Physical phones? Soft phones?

Sorry replying on my phone so my replies are short.

I use Vonage Business, formerly Vocalocity.  They had best price/feature for my needs (free unlimited eFax and free 800 service were the kickers).  They can do what you want (i.e. extensions route right to cell phones).

I have it set up so that my extension rings my cell phone and IP phone at the same time.  I use Bria 3 softphone on my computer, which allows me to highlight phone number is documents/websites and dial them automatically by hitting <ctrl><shift><d>.  We also have some Cisco 303's which work well.

ETA I demo'ed 8x8 briefly, and they worked fine.  I passed over RingCentral as I tested their fax service in the past and it would fail silently -- not sending or receiving faxes, and not giving the sender or myself any feed back that there was an issue.

Check here. I work more in the ACD/IVR design side of telecom so I can't really recommend one over another.

I would run from any big phone company. Go with a small company that will get it setup correctly, charge less and have real "english speaking americans" available to fix problems if they arise: https://gocentrix.com

Ditto. Wish I could, but I just don't have any personal experience with them.

I can do what you want, either to soft phones on your computers + cell phones, or hard phones on your desk + cell phones.
