PBX Cloud — cloud PBX from R145 a month with no setup fees
PBX Cloud sells a cloud phone system the way hosting is sold: pick your tier, activate instantly, cancel when you like. Pricing is published per extension band, there are no setup fees, porting is free and unlimited, and there is no contract — a genuinely unusual combination in a market built on multi-year seat deals.

Read the exclusion, then read it again
The pricing is genuinely transparent and the terms are genuinely buyer-friendly — no setup fee, free unlimited porting and no contract remove the three things that usually make switching painful. The line to read twice is the one the company itself puts in the note: the published price is for the system only and excludes call usage. That is honest, and it also means the monthly figure is not your bill. Get the call rates alongside the seat price before comparing this to a bundled competitor, because a low system cost with high per-minute rates can land above a higher all-in package. The absent founding year and address are the other gap — on a month-to-month service with no lock-in the commercial risk is limited, but ask who you are contracting with.
Who PBX Cloud is a fit for
- Small offices that want a phone system live today without a sales process
- Businesses porting several numbers who would otherwise pay per-number porting fees
- Companies unwilling to sign a multi-year seat contract for a phone system
