Bring your own trunk

Hosted PBX pricing for businesses that keep their own phone lines

Hosted PBX from MapleReceptionist costs $99 CAD/month for up to 10 extensions, $219 up to 25, $399 up to 50, and $699 up to 100. One flat monthly fee, no per-seat maths. You keep your existing phone lines, numbers and carrier. This price covers the phone system only: no numbers, no minutes, no SMS.

Exactly what you get, and what you do not

This is a deliberately narrow product. Being clear about the edges is cheaper for everyone than a surprise later.

Included in every band

  • Every extension hosted on our Canadian infrastructure
  • Voicemail, and voicemail delivered to email
  • Auto-attendant / IVR and call-flow routing
  • Ring groups, call queues and hunt groups
  • Call transfer, hold, park and intercom
  • Business-hours and holiday routing
  • Works with standard SIP desk phones (Yealink, Grandstream, Polycom, Cisco and others)
  • Connects to your existing analog lines through your own FXO gateway
  • Or connects to your existing SIP trunk from your own carrier
  • Platform patching, security updates and monitoring
  • Daily configuration backups
  • Routine moves, adds and changes (roughly 30-60 minutes of admin time a month)
  • Data stored in Canada. PIPEDA aligned.

Not included - and not charged for

  • Phone numbers (DIDs) - you keep and pay for your own
  • Calling minutes - they stay on your carrier bill
  • SMS or text messaging
  • Number porting
  • Desk phones, gateways or any hardware
  • An AI receptionist or AI call answering

You already pay a carrier for your lines and minutes, so we do not resell them back to you. If you would rather we supplied numbers and minutes as well, that is our other pricing page.

How it connects to what you already have

Two setups cover almost everyone.

You have analog lines from your local carrier

Your lines plug into a small gateway box at your office, which links up to your hosted phone system. Your lines, your numbers and your carrier bill all stay exactly where they are. If you already have a gateway, you keep using it.

You already have a SIP trunk

We point your existing trunk at your new phone system. Nothing changes on your carrier account, and your numbers never move.

Where our responsibility starts and stops

We are responsible for the hosted phone system, the call routing, and the configuration of your handsets. The physical lines stay your carrier's responsibility - line quality, static, and carrier outages are between you and them. We will help you work out which side a fault sits on, and we put this boundary in writing before you sign, so nobody is guessing when something breaks.

The gear that goes around it

A phone system is only as steady as the rack it sits in. We keep a short list of the racks, battery backups and rack power bars we actually put in front of customers, so you are not guessing which of the forty listings is the right one.

Equipment picks

Rack enclosures and open frames, battery backups sized for a phone system that has to keep answering through an outage, and metered or switched rack power bars.

Browse the equipment list

These are Amazon links and we earn a small commission on qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Buying through them is optional - if you already have the gear, or you would rather source it elsewhere, that is completely fine and changes nothing about your quote.

Why this costs less than a quote from a big provider

Most Canadian hosted phone providers quote somewhere between $20 and $35 per seat per month. That is a fair price - but it includes your phone lines and your calling minutes, because they become your carrier.

You already have a carrier. So we are selling you the smaller thing: the phone system on its own. In the Canadian market that runs $8 to $15 per seat per month, and our bands land at $9.90 per extension or less.

Which is genuinely better depends on your situation. If you want one bill and one company for everything, a full-service provider may suit you and we will say so. If you are happy with your lines, locked into a carrier contract, or simply do not want to move your numbers, this is the cheaper and less disruptive path.

Questions people actually ask

The last few are lifted straight from the main MapleReceptionist help centre, because billing and support work the same way on this product. If you came here for AI call answering instead, that is the AI receptionist product page.

What does "bring your own trunk" actually mean?

It means you keep your existing phone lines and your existing phone numbers exactly as they are. We host the phone system itself - the part that rings the right desk, takes messages, and runs your menus - and it connects out through the lines you already pay for. Nothing moves at your carrier, and your published number never changes.

Why is this cheaper than other hosted phone providers?

Because it is a smaller product. Most hosted phone providers quote $20 to $35 per seat per month, but that price includes your phone lines and your calling minutes. Ours does not - you already have those. We are pricing the phone system on its own, which is the $8 to $15 per seat range in the Canadian market. Our bands work out at $9.90 per seat or less.

Do I have to move my phone numbers?

No, and that is the point of this product. Your numbers stay with your current carrier on your current contract. Many businesses are locked into multi-year carrier agreements where leaving early triggers a termination charge, or where the phone lines are discounted because they are bundled with the internet. Keeping your lines avoids all of that.

What happens if I go over my band?

You move up to the next band at your next renewal, never retroactively and never as a surprise mid-month bill. If you are at 10 extensions and you hire an eleventh person, add them - we will talk about the band at renewal.

Can I keep my existing desk phones?

Almost always, yes. Standard SIP handsets from Yealink, Grandstream, Polycom, Cisco and most other manufacturers will work. We reconfigure them to register with your new system as part of setup. You do not buy hardware from us.

What is the setup fee for?

Building your system: creating every extension, building your call flow and menus, configuring your gateway or SIP trunk, and configuring each handset. For ten phones that is most of a working day. It is a one-time fee, and in the entry band it drops from $350 to $250 if you commit to twelve months.

Who is responsible if my phone lines go down?

Your carrier is, and we say so in writing. Line quality, static, and outages on the physical lines are between you and the company that supplies them. We are responsible for the hosted phone system, the call routing, and the configuration of your handsets. We will help you diagnose which side a fault is on, but we cannot fix your carrier.

Does this include the AI receptionist?

No. This page prices the hosted phone system only. The AI receptionist is a separate product with its own pricing, and the two can be combined if you want them to be. Plenty of businesses on this plan deliberately do not want AI answering their phone, and that is a perfectly good reason to be here.

Is there a contract?

Month to month, unless you choose the discounted setup fee in the entry band, which asks for twelve months. Cancel any time otherwise.

Do you bill in CAD?

Yes. Hosted PBX is priced and billed in Canadian Dollars, same as every other MapleReceptionist plan. HST is added at checkout based on your province. There are no USD conversions, no foreign-exchange surprises, and no hidden currency fees.

What payment methods do you accept?

Visa, Mastercard and American Express via Stripe, plus Interac e-Transfer for Canadian customers who prefer to pay directly from a Canadian bank account. Either way you get a proper Canadian invoice with HST line items and CAD totals emailed after every charge.

How do I get support once the system is live?

The same way every MapleReceptionist customer does: email support@mapleworksuite.com, or book a time with us directly. Configuration changes - a new extension, a changed menu, a different ring order - are part of the monthly fee, not a billable ticket. Our help centre answers the common questions first if you would rather not wait.

Can I add the AI receptionist to this later?

Yes, and plenty of people do. The hosted phone system and the AI receptionist are separate products that sit together cleanly: the AI answers the calls you want it to answer and hands the rest to the extensions you already have. You can add it whenever you are ready, and nothing about your lines or your handsets has to change again.
