3CX Weekly Brief · Feb 17 – Feb 23, 2026

/in /by

The week of February 17 capped off the month with a flurry of client-facing improvements: refreshed mobile apps, firmware updates for desk phones, and a bold vision for turning 3CX into an AI colleague instead of just a PBX.

Highlights for Feb 17 – Feb 23

  • Major app refreshes hit beta. 3CX pushed new builds for iOS (source), Android (source) and Windows softphone (source), focusing on stability, contact handling and CallKit features.
  • Desk phone firmware updates. New Yealink and Snom packages (source) were certified for V20, eliminating the random BLF glitches we’ve been tracking.
  • Security hygiene reminders. 3CX published an SSL chain best-practice guide (source) so admins stop deploying half-baked cert bundles.
  • 3CX reframed itself as an AI colleague. The new positioning article (source) spells out how the AI receptionist, transcription and agent workflows change the conversation from “phone system” to “productivity platform.”

What we’re doing for HTS customers

  1. Beta testing. We’re piloting the iOS/Android/Windows betas with internal users so we can green-light them for client rollout the moment they exit beta.
  2. Firmware push. Our RMM schedule now includes the Yealink/Snom updates for every managed desk phone to keep BLFs and call pickup rock solid.
  3. Certificate audits. During each maintenance window we’re double-checking Nginx bundles so multi-tenant installs present the full trust chain.
  4. Storytelling. Sales and account managers are using the “AI colleague” narrative to upsell AI receptionist + transcription bundles to existing voice customers.
