Brilliant business comms at zero cost

Whether you choose 3CX Free or 3CX SMB V20, it's time to say goodbye to per-user pricing and bundle rip-offs
Brilliant business comms at zero cost

They're two of the most dangerous words in the English language: "per user". See them next to a software licensing price and watch your monthly costs rocket, and it's as true for communications solutions as it is for every other service you pay for. If not worse, with dangerous hidden T&Cs designed to make it tricky to escape a contract's clutches.

3CX has the answer in the form of the all-new 3CX V20. As you've become used to with 3CX, the service is free forever for up to ten users. And that includes all the features highlighted below.

In short, where others are charging $20 per user per month for their communications platforms, 3CX is offering you a full service for free. And where others tie you into long-term contracts with phone numbers owned by the platform, making it hard for you to move away, 3CX keeps things simple. You own the numbers, you decide the calling package.

And if you want to take advantage of 3CX's most advanced contact centre features, 3CX SMB costs just £195 for a year. No contracts, no hidden extras and no gotchas either.

What's new in V20

There's never been a better time to start using 3CX, as it has just been upgraded to version 20. More than two years in the making, 3CX V20 includes a rewritten Call Manager to deliver the best call centre features; a new native Windows softphone (more on that below); plus a new Admin Console, replacing the former Management Console.
