Description
Centrex is a voice communications system that uses the power of the AT&T network to provide you with internal and external communications services with valuable features. Centrex operates out of our local central offices and provides you with a powerful and flexible alternative to premises-based switching systems. Centrex minimizes expensive switching equipment and the need for additional floor space. Because Centrex is inherently scalable, your business can expand without adding or replacing communications equipment in your building. Instead, we can make all those changes at the AT&T central office.
We monitor and maintain each AT&T central office 24/7. Because the equipment that drives Centrex is in our central office, we’ll promptly repair any unforeseen problems in our lines at no charge. Centrex is perfect for multiple-location businesses (based upon service address location, within the same serving area) wanting a single, easy-to-use system.
How it works
With Centrex, your phone system resides in the AT&T central office. Main user station lines run from our central office to each telephone, fax, or modem. Your users are connected whether they’re located in your main office, in your branch offices, or at remote sites.
Features and Benefits
Centrex gives you these features:
- Dedicated Phone Number for Each Employee—is possible with Centrex.
- Call Management—Easy-to-use features allow you to redial automatically, block calls, forward calls, forward select calls, prioritize calls, know who’s calling, use Call Waiting, and conference call.
- Flexibility—All features can operate at every phone.
- Electrical Backup—We house the system and provide 24-hour maintenance by skilled technicians. If there’s a power outage, dial tone remains available, except for phone sets that require power units. If there’s a brownout or a storm at your location, Centrex continues to function because it runs on the power at our central office.
