Panasonic left the business phone market, winding down PBX sales through 2022 and 2023. fvoip gives KX-series offices a supported home with their numbers intact.
Panasonic KX-series systems, from analog KX-TDA cabinets to the IP-based KX-NS line, were the quiet workhorses of small offices, medical practices, and hotels. But Panasonic announced its withdrawal from the business communications market, winding down PBX and SIP phone sales through roughly 2022 and 2023 as it refocused on other divisions. No successor products are coming, remaining support commitments run out on a clock, and the dealer network that installed these systems has been steadily moving its customers elsewhere. A KX-NS700 still doing its job today is doing it without a manufacturer behind it.
The exit path is well-worn and free. fvoip ports your local numbers in 3 to 10 business days and toll-free in 10 to 15, at no charge, while your Panasonic system continues answering calls. Before the port lands, our team rebuilds your setup in the cloud: the auto-attendant your callers know, ring groups for the front desk, business-hours and holiday routing, and voicemail that now arrives in email with an AI transcript. Cutover is a parallel-run switch, not a leap: both systems are live until the moment the numbers move, so there is no gap your customers could notice.
For most Panasonic owners the move also ends a slow financial leak. Legacy analog or PRI trunks from carriers like Spectrum Business, Comcast Business, or AT&T often cost more per month than modern service, before counting maintenance visits billed by the hour. fvoip is a flat, published price from $21 per user per month, $18 on annual billing, with unlimited US and Canada calling, no setup fees, no contract, and no regulatory recovery surcharges. Businesses replacing trunk-and-maintenance spend typically save 40 to 60 percent. From a 2-person practice on a KX-TDA30 to a 30-room property on a KX-NS1000, the migration is free and handled for you.
