I have to agree with both Jordon and J.B. Malik on their recommendation of RingCentral. RingCentral has been one of the best services that I have used for Virtual PBX. They provide great services at a reasonable rate. I would have gone with GrandCentral but they don't have pricing up (at least not since they were bought by Google) and I need to make sure that my company's phone numbers stay online. Another piece that I didn't find with all Virtual PBX providers is that RingCentral allows me to port my number away from them or to them. That means that my number is owned by me in case I want to switch companies later.

My company uses Callture-Telcan’s services and they provide absolutely everything we need at excellent prices (I’ve compared their prices to that of competitors). In terms of quality they do not give anything up either. Great company, great service.

My firm has been using virtual phone systems for a while and we found that we needed more than just the standard set of features. After some research we found PowrFone.com and it integrates with our CRM system as well as records all the calls into my company so that they can be regularly audited to identify quality assurance issues. You can find them at http://www.powrfone.com

I am a RingCentral customer (Virtual PBX only) and I love it (you can read my review here: http://small-business-phone.com/?p=4)

For phone service in conjunction with my RingCentral account, I use Vonage and Skype, both of whom I don’t see disappearing anytime soon, despite troubles. (Read my review of Skype here: http://small-business-phone.com/?p=13)

Good luck,

RingCentral.com if you’re willing to pay — great interface, great features, more than just voicemail. I’ve been happy with it so far.

I would also suggest http://www.grandcentral.com for Freelance professionals. Some great features and it is free.

It was mentioned in the article… but the gotcha of all of these plans is in the per minute charges. Also sound quality can be an issue, but you get what you pay for.
