Tell us a little about your team. We’ll pass your request to up to three South African providers that cover your area and your size. Then you compare and choose. No pressure, and no cost to you.
“We compare providers, we don’t sell for them. Tell us what you need in plain words. You don’t have to know the jargon.”
No. At most three providers receive your request, and only if they cover your area and size.
No. A quote is just a quote. You can compare, ask questions and decide to stay where you are.
Nothing. Want a feel for prices first? See published prices on our Cloud PBX comparison.
“WhichVoIP was able to connect me with reasonable suppliers within a few minutes who were able to assist me easily and speedily.”
A Cloud PBX (also called hosted PBX) replaces your traditional on-site phone system with a virtual one delivered over the internet. A complete quote should detail the per-extension monthly cost, the included features (call routing, IVR, voicemail-to-email, mobile app, call recording), any minute bundles, and the per-minute rates for usage outside the bundle.
Look out for once-off setup fees, the contract term (12, 24 or 36 months) and whether handsets are included, rented or sold separately. The cheapest headline price often hides a longer commitment or stripped-down feature set.
For a full breakdown of how Cloud PBX works and the trade-offs versus on-premise, read our Cloud PBX guide.
It depends on how many extensions you need, the features you choose and the contract term. Our Cloud PBX comparison shows each provider's published prices, with the source and the date we checked them.
A Cloud PBX is hosted by your provider and accessed over the internet, with no on-site server or PBX hardware required. An on-premise PBX runs on physical equipment in your office. Cloud PBX has lower upfront cost, faster deployment and easier remote work; on-premise gives more control but more CapEx.
Usually yes. Most Cloud PBX providers support standards-based SIP handsets from Yealink, Grandstream, Polycom, Cisco and Snom. Mention any existing hardware in the requirements field and providers will confirm compatibility in their quote.
Cloud PBX is bandwidth-light — about 100 kbps per concurrent call. Any stable fibre or quality LTE connection with low jitter will work. Providers will normally do a quick line check as part of their proposal.
Yes. There is no charge for using WhichVoIP to request quotes. Providers pay us instead: either for each request they accept, or as a sponsored partner, which gives them priority when your needs match what they offer. You never pay us, and no provider can pay to change our scores. How we make money.
