Nextiva, a provider of cloud-based virtual PBX services, now offers and supports Cisco’s latest line of business VoIP phones. The Cisco SPA 300 and 500 series IP phones offer many popular features and hardware reliability, and are priced competitively.

The Cisco SPA 300 and 500 VoIP phones are designed for use with full-featured virtual PBX services like Nextiva's. Each Cisco phone provides all the traditional business phone features, such as call waiting, call forwarding, and call transfer.

--Employees can take advantage of their phone systems features, including: speakerphone, redial, call transfer, conferencing, paging, intercom, volume control, message-waiting and voicemail indicator lights, mute key, headset use, and call history directories.
