I newly joined this community and I have some basic questions that I would like to ask. What is PBX? And how does it work in small business office. I know little bit but I want collect more information on that. So you please drop me your answers.

Thanks!

PBX stands for Private Branch Exchange or to put it simply, a sort of private telephone exchange. There's really not much to know about PBX, big companies use them to manage all their internal phone connections, thus meaning that they don't have to expend large sums of cash on leasing multiple lines for each phone connection in the office.

This really isn’t our field though and a quick search of google will no doubt turn up a lot of useful information. Many small businesses have cut-down versions of the same technology.
 
there are also many voip alternatives i believe.

BT do also do feature lines which do the same for small business, something to remember though is that current broadband technologies are 99.9% incompatible with PBX's and feature lines.

PBX: Abbreviation for private branch exchange. A subscriber-owned telecommunications exchange that usually includes access to the public switched network.
 
A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a switch station for telephone systems. It consists mainly of several branches of telephone systems and it switches connections to and from them, thereby linking phone lines.

Companies use a PBX for connecting all their internal phones to an external line. This way, they can lease only one line and have many people using it, with each one having a phone at the desk with different number. The number is not in the same format as a phone number though, as it depends on the internal numbering. Inside a PBX, you only need to dial three-digit or four-digit numbers to make a call to another phone in the network. We often refer to this number as an extension.
