What is VoIP.ms PBX?
VoIP.ms includes PBX features directly in the customer portal at no additional cost. Incoming calls arrive on a DID, pass through your configured routing — an IVR, ring group, queue, time condition, or voicemail — and reach the right device or destination. No server to manage, no software to install.
Prefer to run your own PBX software? See PBXs for third-party options including Asterisk, FreePBX, and 3CX.

Call Routing
- IVR (Digital Receptionist) — Play a menu and route callers to the right destination based on their input.
- Ring Groups — Ring multiple devices simultaneously or in sequence.
- Call Queues — Queue incoming calls and distribute them to available agents.
- Time Conditions — Route calls differently based on time of day, day of week, or defined holidays.
- Call Forwarding — Forward a DID to an external number or SIP address.
- Callback — Let callers trigger an outbound call back to themselves through VoIP.ms.
