What to do when your cloud PBX stops working

If your cloud PBX stops working, act quickly to limit the disruption to your business. A cloud PBX is a business phone system that uses Voice over IP (VoIP) to handle calls and bring business communications together.

Common reasons your cloud PBX may stop working

If your cloud PBX stops working, check for:

• Internet connectivity problems
• An outage at your cloud PBX provider
• Incorrect settings
• Integration problems with other systems, such as your CRM

Steps to troubleshoot the problem

Check your internet connection

Make sure your internet connection is working. A connection failure may be the cause.

Check your provider’s service status

Check whether your cloud PBX provider has reported a service issue. Visit its website or contact it directly. If you use Universal Telecom’s contact center or SIP Trunk, check whether either service is affected.

Check your settings

Review your cloud PBX settings, including your DID (direct inward dialling) numbers and call routing.

Check integrations with other systems

If your cloud PBX is connected to a CRM or digital marketing tools, check that those integrations are working.

Benefits of a reliable cloud PBX

A cloud PBX that is properly configured and maintained can:

• Reduce hardware and maintenance costs compared with an on-site PBX
• Improve customer service with features such as call recording and smart call routing
• Automate tasks through integrations with other systems
• Scale as your business needs change
