Fonality unveiled PBXtra Softphone with integrated chat client and a Plantronics headset to boot in a highly affordable package. The new Softphone allows small businesses to connect a central office with branch and home office at varying locations, allowing local, remote and mobile workers to keep in touch via free four-digit dialing on the same phone system.

For remote users, it provides least-cost routing and unified messaging. Other features include call forwarding, allowing a call to be redirected to a cell phone, for example. They can also connect back to their offices with free VoIP.

Ideal for call centers and other small businesses, the PBXtra Softphone is geared at cutting communication costs. Costing just US $49, more information about it is available from Fonality's website.
