Many systems of business phone services actually consist of a lot of fax machines, internal phones and other devices, all being linked to one another and to outside phone lines by use of a switching system. PBXs, or usually called switching systems are determined by their sizes. Smaller systems are distinguished by the external lines that usually cannot be selected with any individual extension.

Key systems or smaller systems are a lot cheaper compared to PBXs. A particular outgoing line is chosen to make calls and external numbers are dialed on the key system. When making a call using PBX system, users must punch 9 or 0 then dial the external number. Punching 9 or 0 sometimes differ depending on some systems. PBX automatically chooses unused outgoing trunk lines to be able to make and complete the specific call.

A PBX system performs in three essential function, first it establishes the connection between two phone lines of two users, second, it maintains the connection made to both of the users and provides them the duration of the call that has been made and third, it keeps the connection stable and ensures that no disturbances to the connection occurs. Even with the mentioned basic functions, PBXs that are used in businesses still need more improvement in its capabilities.
