1990s–2010s

3Com's NBX (NBX 100, V3000) and VCX IP phone systems were early IP-PBX pioneers, but 3Com was acquired by HP in 2010 and the lines were discontinued. There's been no manufacturer support for well over a decade.

fvoip replaces the NBX/VCX call processor with a maintained cloud platform, keeps your numbers, and provides mobile and desktop apps that these systems never offered.

Why it's time to move.

End-of-life and support details reflect published information at the time of writing and can change — always confirm current status with the vendor.

Your migration, step by step.

We rebuild your call flows on fvoip — auto-attendant menus, ring groups, business hours, and voicemail boxes — while 3Com NBX & VCX keeps answering. You test everything on temporary numbers, and we port the real numbers only once you sign off. If anything looks wrong, the old system is still there.

What you keep

  • Your phone numbersWe port every direct-dial and main line to fvoip — callers keep reaching you at the same numbers, with no gap in service.
  • Your extensions & menusWe rebuild the extension map, auto-attendant, ring groups, and business hours your team already knows.
  • Business continuityfvoip runs in parallel with the old system and cuts over only when you approve — phones never stop ringing.
  • Compatible SIP phonesReuse standards-based SIP desk phones where possible, or rent auto-provisioned handsets from $8.99/mo.

Frequently asked questions

Are 3Com NBX and VCX systems supported?
No. 3Com was acquired by HP in 2010 and these lines were discontinued. There has been no manufacturer support for many years.
Can I keep my 3Com phones?
NBX handsets are proprietary and won't work on fvoip. Use them until cutover, then move to SIP phones you can rent from $8.99/mo.
How long does an NBX migration take?
Usually 1–3 weeks depending on size. We build fvoip alongside the NBX and port numbers only when you approve.
