Kelsey B.: My name's Kelsey, and I'm an IT specialist for a volunteer fire department in rural south Louisiana. I give 3CX a five star rating. We've tried other providers such as Vonage, RingCentral, and all those were primarily not cost-effective for us because they were on a per user basis and all the extra bells and whistles were a whole lot more money. Since we're basically operate off of fundraising and grants, it was well out of our budget. So, 3CX enabled us to basically provide phone service for everybody in our office at a very, very low cost compared to the competitors. Again, we chose 3CX because it was flexible, easy to implement, and the cost was very, very low compared to the others. I mean, when we were paying for a small business license as opposed to paying $300 a month for everyone having phone access at their desk, it's a very, very big cost difference. And when you're relying on fundraising to pay the bills, it's always good to try and find a good option at a really good price. Implementing 3CX was very easy because we use CallCentric, and that again, is also a very affordable option. So, combining the two and getting it all set up for all of our people, it required minimal effort. I mean, it was really, support was great when we had to call in. But the online tutorials were also great, so it was an ease to implement 3CX in our workplace. For anybody out there considering options for phone service in their small business, I would highly recommend 3CX to anyone to try out, because again, with the feature rich aspect of it, as far as the cost and the ease of implementation, you won't be disappointed. I think you highly appreciate the value for the product you receive.
