The 5 Steps to Success

1. Choose a plan.
First, decide which hosted PBX plan is right for you. Remember, it's fast and easy to change plans at any time, so pick the plan that's right for you now!

2. Choose a phone number.
Whether you want a local telephone number, a toll free number, or to port an existing number, a telephone number is available to you within our signup order form. *

3. Equip your new phone system with hardware.
Press8 provides an array of telephones and accessories for your phone system, ranging from IP telephones, to analog telephone adapters, to headsets! We make it easy by allowing you to purchase hardware directly from your Control Panel, and we'll even pre-configure the device(s) before delivery. Have your own hardware? No problem! We recommend that you contact us first to ensure your devices are compatible, however.

4. Setup your emergency calling address.
Safety first! By associating a physical address with your telephone number(s), you can be assured that in the case of an emergency (911 call), your local emergency response personnel will instantly know your physical location without needing to ask. This is done directly from your Press8 Control Panel.

5. Start customizing your phone system.
Using your Press8 Control Panel, you can begin creating telephone extensions, voicemail boxes, recording your greeting messages, and virtually any other aspect of your phone system. We have a wealth of information to make it even easier, including a user guide, FAQs, and a knowledge base. See our support page for more details. Plug your telephone devices in, and enjoy!

*During the order process, you are only asked for your local address. A sales associate will contact you directly to discuss telephone number options in your area, as well as the addition of toll free and number porting.
