"Ufone is gaining significant traction in the VoIP spec with it's 3CX in premise and cloud offering," says Nigel Rayneau, managing director of Ufone. "We are predominantly selling through channel partners and work closely with Soft Solutions, the New Zealand Distributor for 3CX."

The companies say the success of the interoperability testing guarantees full operation of all 3CX Phone System's features enabling 3CX customers to make cost-effective calls.

“With the technical support provided by both 3CX and Ufone, as well as regular testing of the configuration templates, customers can be assured of good and reliable call quality,” they say in a statement.

“Furthermore,” Rayneau adds, “both Ufone and 3CX provide full technical support, not just on installation and configuration phase, but right through the lifetime of their phone system.
