>POTS
Plain old telephone service, or POTS, is the standard, analog telephone service that remains the basic form of residential and small business telephone service nearly everywhere in the world. The obvious benefits with this service is cost and functionality. From single-line phones, to multi-line PBXs, basic dial tone is still a necessity!
>Centrex
Short for central office exchange service, Centrex is a type of PBX service in which switching occurs at a local telephone station instead of at the company premises. Centrex eliminates the need to use separate exchange lines delivered to a site for use with a PBX. Instead, telephone extensions, called Centrex lines, are delivered directly from the local exchange to the user. Centrex is perfect for multiple-location businesses wanting a single, easy-to-use service. This service allows you to add or remove lines and features so that you pay only for the capacity and features you need, without requiring investment into phone equipment.
Private Branch Exchange service, commonly known as PBX service, provides an arrangement of switching equipment and stations for intercommunicating among the stations and for connections through the local and long distance telephone network to other subscribers.
