#5 - Lightwire Hosted 3CX Trial 

Choosing a new voice platform can be daunting, as a wholesaler you are looking to standardise your offering and provide an exceptional experience for your end users.

We don’t expect you to take our word for it that 3CX (and Lightwire) is great, we want to prove it, that why we offer a free, and obligation free, 14 day trial.

The 3CX 14-day trial is provided using a production instance that is reserved for testing, so it’s like any other 3CX we host, but we just add trial users to it. It’s already set up to handle Australian and New Zealand calling.

You’ll have 14 days to try 3CX, no contracts and totally risk free. We will set you up with test extensions and temporary numbers, leaving you to get a feel for call quality and user experience.
