Cloud VoIP PBX phone systems are more popular than ever, thanks to advancements in cloud technology and cybersecurity. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) enables calls over the Internet, removing the need for traditional phone lines. As a result, many businesses are transitioning to cloud VoIP systems. PBX (Private Branch Exchange) refers to business phone systems that offer multiple lines and a variety of useful features.
Zadarma offers a secure, turnkey cloud PBX phone system. It's quick and cost-effective to set up. Zadarma cloud PBX includes features like call transfer, call recording, call forwarding, call routing, call management, speech analytics, voicemail, video conferencing, and more.

4. Speech recognition and analytics
Zadarma’s PBX lets you listen to call recordings, review text transcriptions, and access call analytics for business insights and improvements. Speech recognition is a paid service with pricing based on selected recognition language and your price plan, but all plans include free transcription minutes and analytics. Speech analytics, or call analytics, is advanced technology that quickly extracts relevant data from recorded conversations by transcribing audio files in seconds.
5. Multiple lines and phone numbers
Zadarma provides multichannel phone numbers in 100 countries. If you prefer to keep your existing numbers, you can link up to 20 numbers from different providers to our PBX. Connecting external numbers to your Zadarma virtual PBX is simple: just ensure your provider supports SIP call forwarding, and obtain the server, domain (which may be the same as the server), login, and password from them. Additionally, you can port your existing phone numbers to Zadarma.
6. Incoming call routing and voice menu configuration
Zadarma’s PBX offers a useful voice menu that helps sales and customer service teams route calls based on working hours, pone numbers, and availability. This setup boosts productivity and minimizes client dissatisfaction by providing clear prompts when no one is available to answer calls. Incoming call scenarios use preset algorithms to direct calls to specific departments or numbers based on different factors, such as working hours. You can customize how calls are managed by adjusting IVR (Interactive Voice Response) settings, hold music, working hours, and missed call notifications within your voice menu.
7. Voicemail and automated responses
The scheduled voice greeting feature lets you automate responses to common questions. You can record and customize your greeting message and set up a personalized voicemail for missed calls outside business hours. Choose to upload a pre-recorded greeting or use an automated message.
8. Caller IDs
Zadarma PBX offers CallerID functionality, allowing you to choose the number displayed for outgoing calls. You can easily set almost any connected or verified number as your CallerID. Additionally, you can use different CallerIDs for calls made to or from various countries, cities, or devices. To configure your CallerID settings, visit the ‘My PBX’ page, go to ‘Outgoing Calls,’ and select ‘CallerID by Destination.’ You can assign different CallerIDs to individual users, or use a single ID for all calls.
9. Visual PBX editor
The Visual PBX Editor provides a clear, intuitive interface for visualizing and customizing your PBX configuration. With block diagrams, you can easily set up and adjust call scenarios according to your needs, making it simple to adapt the system to your requirements.
10. Automatic call forwarding
Zadarma’s PBX enables both conditional and unconditional call forwarding. This feature lets you redirect calls to mobile or landline numbers, so you can receive calls without needing extra programs, equipment, or an internet connection.
