Why Switch to FreePBX/Asterisk?

The High Costs of Legacy PBX Systems

Many businesses continue to rely on legacy PBX systems or HPBX solutions, unaware of the hidden costs associated with them. Legacy systems often involve hefty upfront costs for hardware and licensing fees, while ongoing maintenance contracts can lead to recurring expenses that add up quickly. These contracts lock you into expensive agreements, and if something goes wrong, you’re forced to pay inflated rates for repairs and updates.

With Tomahawk Internet Technologies, you don’t need a maintenance contract. Our FreePBX/Asterisk solution is a one-time investment, with no ongoing maintenance fees. Because it's an open-source platform, updates and maintenance are manageable without relying on third-party contractors that charge for routine tasks. This removes the financial burden of maintaining outdated equipment and allows you to invest your resources in more important areas of your business.

Save Money, Gain Flexibility

Switching to FreePBX/Asterisk doesn’t just save you money—it gives you more control. You’re no longer tied to rigid, expensive systems. With FreePBX, you get a customizable, feature-rich system that grows with your business. No longer do you need to pay for unnecessary features in a package deal, nor do you need to rely on a maintenance contract that eats into your profits.

Instead, you get the freedom to choose exactly the features you need, whether it’s voicemail-to-email, call forwarding, or custom IVR options. The ability to choose and adapt these features means you're only paying for what you need — leading to even greater savings in the long run.

Mobile and Desktop Flexibility with Soft Client Apps

Another major advantage of switching to FreePBX/Asterisk is its compatibility with soft client apps for mobile devices and desktop computers. With traditional PBX systems, your communication is limited to physical desk phones. This can be restrictive, especially for businesses that need the flexibility to work remotely or manage their operations from multiple locations.

With FreePBX/Asterisk, you can use softphones — applications that run on smartphones, tablets, and computers—making it easier than ever for your team to stay connected, whether they’re in the office, working from home, or traveling.

These soft client apps allow your employees to make and receive calls, access voicemail, and even transfer calls—all from the comfort of their mobile or desktop device. This increased flexibility improves productivity, reduces downtime, and ensures that your team can stay in touch, no matter where they are.
