Is Allworx right for your company’s phone system?

When you compare features, turns out you’re better off with Vodia.

Apps for Remote Users

You can connect your customers to the Vodia App, which is available for iOS. We give you Android and Windows Desktop, SMS support, presences, chat and more. The Allworx app doesn’t support SMS and chat.

Use Your Existing SIP Trunks

Connect your SIP trunk provider to the Vodia PBX with our pre-loaded templates – all you have to do is enter the SIP trunk provider’s account information. Vodia will register with the trunk provider and automatically create a dial plan, so your users can start making and receiving calls right away.

Use Your Existing IP Phones

Vodia supports all IP phones that “talk” SIP – we even provision them! This means the Vodia PBX will auto-configure each phone with your customer’s name, extension number, the IP phone buttons and more. No need for new phones. Allworx? It doesn’t support full auto-configure (no RPS server).

Turn Your Customers into Subscribers

Stop giving away your leads to other companies. With Vodia, you keep your relationships with your customers and the revenue you derive from servicing them. Healthy long-term relationships build value for you and for your customers.

Desk phones, mobile apps, or both? Choosing the right setup for business calls

Desk phones and mobile apps both have a place in modern business communications. IP desk phones remain a strong choice for receptionists, support teams, customer service agents, and employees who handle a high volume of calls from a fixed location. Mobile apps, on the other hand, give remote, hybrid, and field-based users access to their business extension wherever they work. For many organizations, the best answer is not choosing one over the other, but using both through the same PBX environment so every user has the right calling tool for their role.
