See What 3CX V16 Has In Store


Having launched last month, 3CX’s new V16 offers a host of new features and benefits, some of which we think add great value.

So, What’s New?

Innovative Call Centre Features

3CX has completely revamped its call centre module by introducing the following features:

  • Skill-based routing distributes calls based on the individual agent skill
  • With CRM integration, V16 can retrieve customer details and journal calls from popular CRM systems and databases
  • Improved call recording management which enables:
    • Advanced search
    • Call transcription
    • Archive call recording to FTP or Google Drive
Live Chat & Talk and Team Communications

3CX Live Chat & Talk comes as a WordPress plugin for easy installation or can be added to any website via script and enables website visitors to either ‘click to chat’ or ‘click to talk to an agent’ directly from their computer.

With seamless Office 365 integration, contacts and their status are synced in real time, enabling easy team communications from a 3CX extension.
Simplified Management

V16 makes the admin’s role easier with:

  • Multi instance manager, enabling you to manage all of your 3CX deployments from the reseller portal.
  • Enhanced security features including console restriction.
  • Remove the need for downloads and access 3CX from your web browser.

3CX Part Code/Ordering Guide

There are lots of different 3CX licences available and you’ll need to make sure you order the right system for your customer depending on whether they would like a subscription or perpetual licence, the number of users they have and what features they require.

The list of licence part codes looks long but really they are quite simple. We’ve put this quick reference guide together to help you to quickly pick out the correct part code for your install.

Please note, that from November 2020 new perpetual Standard and Professional licences are no longer available to purchase and therefore the list below has been updated to reflect this change.

What’s New? 3CX V16 & Pricing

With less than a week to go until the launch of 3CX’s V16, 3CX are inviting partners to join their Live Launch Session at 15:00 on Wednesday 27th March, simply head over to their YouTube Channel on Wednesday to find out more about the much anticipated version update.

New Pricing

As part of their revamp, 3CX implemented a new pricing structure last week. The new pricing saw reductions of up to 40%, making many licences become more competitively priced. Please note, however, the pricing of some perpetual licences has now increased.

4 & 8 Seat Licences

Licences for anything below 16 sc are now only available as annual licences. Customers who currently have 4 and 8 sc licences on a perpetual basis can continue to renew their maintenance or upgrade to 16 sc.

Automatic Updates

In order to maintain the same license features on V16 commercial standard keys will be upgraded to professional. If you do not wish to upgrade to V16 or to be upgraded to a professional licence, please disable automatic updates on the PBX now.

If you would like to speak to a member of our team about 3CX and how these changes may affect you, please call 01484 840048 or email contact@provu.co.uk.

What’s New? 3CX Standard & Free Licences

As you may be aware, 3CX are changing their free and standard licences as of 1st April 2019. In order to help you prepare for these changes, we will be putting together a series of blogs which will break down the changes for you.

Changes to Standard Licences:

As part of the revamp, some features are being removed from Standard licences, these include:

  • Call recording
  • Call reporting
  • Queues
  • Office 365 Integration
  • Bridges

These features will remain available on Pro and Enterprise level licences. If you are already on a paid version of the Standard licence and still have valid maintenance you do not need to do anything, your licences will be upgraded to Pro free of charge for the remainder of the licence contract. Following the licence duration, you will need to renew your licence via Pro maintenance to maintain these features.

Changes to Free Version

All free licences downloaded from 3CX’s website after 1st April 2019 will be a V16 Pro annual licence. This licence will be valid for 40 days from the initial activation date. Following this, the licence key will then revert to a standard licence unless it is upgraded.

ProVu can also now help you source a proof of concept key for any licence for 30 days. Simply contact our sales team to discuss your projects and organise a free trial key.

New Licence Sizes

There are a number of new licence sizes coming to annual licences (only), giving you even more options to cater for customers whose requirements fall somewhere in between, these include:

  • 24 SC
  • 48 SC
  • 96 SC
  • 192 SC

To discuss any of the above information with a member of our team please call 01484 840048 or email contact@provu.co.uk.

We’ve Added a New Date to our 3CX Basic Training Courses

We’ve added an additional date to our 3CX basic training course in April. Following a successful kick start to 2019 with our January basic training course, our 4th April course is now full, but worry not, we have added an extra date on the 3rd April 2019. Register now to reserve your free space!
