3CX
Wizards offer the 3CX Software Based VoIP PBX; this is a phone system that runs on a conventional computer rather than a dedicated piece of proprietary hardware. This computer may be located on your premises or remotely in a data centre meaning you have options over the availablity of your phone system.

Hunt Groups
3CX can be set to call multiple extensions or sequential extensions as required meaning calls are answered by the staff member most appropriate to dealing with the enquiry. Each hunt group is allocated an incoming outside number, and an extension number. A call coming in to either number can be set to:
- Ring all the phones in the group at once
- Ring each phone in turn, starting with the extension that least recently rang
- Ring each phone in turn starting with the extension which has been idle longest
Twinning
3CX includes twinning which allows you to twin your extension with a mobile, home landline, or any number of your choice. In this way a call, internal or external, rings your extension and simultaneously your mobile or other twinned phone and you answer the call on either device.
Flexible choice of lines
3CX supports traditional phone trunks from individual PSTN (ordinary) lines, ISDN2, and ISDN30, and also supports VoIP based "SIP Trunk" connections - in whatever combination suits you. Wizards provide phone lines with non-geographic numbers (e.g. 0808, 0300) and geographic numbers for any location which means you can have a "London" number even if your offices are in Amersham, if that suits your purposes.
