### Most mentioned pros

- It gives EmberBuild a professional image with a dedicated business number and call routing that makes sure client calls never get missed, even when we’re on job sites.
- I have used grashopper for 2 years & voice quality & phone support very good having good features like call forwarding, Auto Attendent,Extensions etc. which is essential for any good business softphone
- Grasshopper has helped streamline communication and reduce missed calls for our contracting team.

### Most mentioned cons

- By the time I got through, our phone number had already been ported to another provider, meaning Grasshopper was no longer providing any service. Despite that, they continued to charge us. When I asked for a refund for the months we were not using the service, I was told the representative “did not have the option” to issue one.
- That I was not able to text due to Federal Communications Commission who had a ton of red tape for anti-spam requirements for 7 digit phone numbers, it took us months to modify our website and regain texting capabilities.
- I wish it were a cleaner look and feel. When I get calls and answer them, it takes 20-30 seconds for my phone to hijack the call.

### Costly, But Lots of Features

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Joshua K.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Utilities
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: December 2019
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall, I was highly pleased with the quick onboarding process. It took less than 30 minutes to have the app fully set up and my number activated. My business chose to go with Grasshopper primarily because it's a trusted and well-known name in VOIP. Grasshopper has enabled us to have a separate phone number for our business and adds a ton of convenience in that we are able to use it with their app on our smartphones.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I like that, compared to its competitors, Grasshopper offers a wider variety of useful features. Some of my favorite features are visual voicemail, conference calling, Wi-Fi calling, virtual fax, and business texting. All of those features and more are included in all of their plans at no additional cost.

#### Cons

There are only two things that I dislike about Grasshopper. The plan pricing is the first on my list. They offer three different plans; I have the cheapest one which costs $29 per month which includes the phone number plus three lines. Second, I dislike that in order to use the Wi-Fi calling feature, you must first disable the Wi-Fi calling feature if you already use it with your cellular plan.

#### Reasons for choosing Grasshopper

We chose Grasshopper over the alternatives primarily because of their added features.

### Reliable Business Phone System That Keeps Our Team Connected

- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: November 2025

Grasshopper has helped streamline communication and reduce missed calls for our contracting team. It feels like having a small business phone system without the big-company overhead. Reliable, professional, and ideal for trades or service-based businesses that need flexibility and solid customer contact tools.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Grasshopper has been a great fit for our construction and home improvement business. It gives EmberBuild a professional image with a dedicated business number and call routing that makes sure client calls never get missed, even when we’re on job sites. The voicemail-to-email feature is especially helpful for tracking project inquiries and scheduling follow-ups quickly.

#### Cons

The only drawback is a small learning curve when setting up custom greetings and voicemail flows. Once configured, it’s smooth, but a more visual setup tool would make it even easier.

#### Reasons for choosing Grasshopper

I chose Grasshopper because it offered the best balance of affordability, strong customer reviews, and simple setup for a small business like ours.

### Growing with Grasshopper

Overall, my experience using Grasshopper has been very positive. It has made managing business communication simpler and more efficient. Calls come through clearly, voicemail transcription has been helpful, and the app is easy to use. It’s been a great tool for keeping work communication separate and organized without needing a full phone system.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I really like how easy Grasshopper makes it to manage business calls and messages from anywhere. The setup was simple, and I appreciate that I can use a dedicated business number without needing extra equipment. It keeps communication organized and professional, whether I’m in the office or on the go. The call quality has also been reliable so far.

#### Cons

The only downside I’ve noticed so far is mostly related to small interface preferences. For example, the app icon and overall design feel a bit dated and could be more modern. It doesn’t affect functionality, but visually it could look cleaner. Other than that, I haven’t had any real performance issues to complain about.

As mentioned above, Grasshopper allows me to have the functionality of a full-fledged office phone system using only my cell phone. It was incredibly easy to get started, to set up and to add users later on. Every voicemail is available to listen to in the app itself, or, more conveniently, is emailed directly to me. One great feature Grasshopper offers is receiving faxes. You can use your same phone number with Grasshopper to receive faxes. Any fax that is sent to your number gets emailed to you. Even though faxing is not as common these days, people still use it. Not needing to have a separate fax number is great!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I love the fact that I can have a business phone number, with extensions, departments, transferring, voice mail and fax and it all goes straight to my cell phone (or my employees' phones who work remotely). It means that no matter where I am, I can take a call as if I were right in my office and the caller needn't know the difference.

#### Cons

I know this is going to sound silly, but since it's so easy to get set up and then it just works, the thing that I like least is when I do need to log back into my account to do something, it's usually been so long since I've visited the site that I need to reorient myself with the website and platform. It doesn't take long to figure my way around but rarely having to log in all the time definitely means that I need a little more time when I do log in.

We use it to run a "website question" 1-800 phone number that routes to different stores and remote individuals at different times with multiple options for service.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It's extremely easy to use and very affordable. You can setup custom phone numbers and create routing between all kinds of phones. It gives the appearance of having a more sophisticated setup than you really do. You can setup holding music, routing rules, voicemail, multiple users, and more between office phone systems, personal cell phones, and everything in-between. You can set hours for each number and routing rules such as order, how many times to ring, and what numbers ring to which numbers.

#### Cons

The only thing I wish it could do that it doesn't is record calls, and that is a big downside to me. A nice to have feature might be being able to assign calls to specific users. Otherwise, it handles everything I need very well.

### Good for price but still needs more features

Overall experience with Grasshopper is good. I've used their service for over 2 years now and I do still consider other options, but always stick with Grasshopper due to their ease of use and competitive price.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

It's competitively priced and easy to use. As for functionality, it connects with whatever other phone line you have through forwarding and it also sends an email with a voice message recording. It's straight forward and works well.

#### Cons

The biggest issue is that when a call comes in on the toll-free number, the phone you've got it linked to will show the call as your toll free number rather than whoever is calling. It would be great to simply have a caller ID. Also, it needs texting service. Perhaps a toll free number can't work with texting but in case it can, than Grasshopper needs to get on board with it.

### Why Invest in PBX Hardware?

We've used Grasshopper for years and dollar for dollar it has been a great investment.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Our company made the move away from a PBX VOIP system years ago opting instead for employee cell phones and Grasshopper. It is much more flexible and economical. The administration interface is easy to work with. Each user can have their own extension and there is a directory that works by the spelling of the user's last name. You can also set up a roll sequence for incoming calls.

#### Cons

It is really not the product's fault but you have to teach your users about the way voicemail is handled when using a virtual PBX. Messages coming in via the PBX number and extension are routed through Grasshopper while messages coming from a direct call a handled by the cell carrier.

#### Pros

Overall this product offers great and easy call routing to all users within our company. Not only has it saved on extremely high in-office phone costs it allows users to manage their calls from their cells/computers. The customer service is also fantastic. I once made mistake when adding and removing an employee, after calling in not only did they resolve the issue but they also fixed it without me having to do it myself. That shows me a high level of training that I respect. Teaching someone what to do, but also acknowledging there time is a high PRO in my books for this modern age.

#### Cons

The only cons were getting my office line released from our previous carrier. This took much longer than expected. Also, some of the online instructions were a bit vague. BUT if you called in they helped out great over the phone.

#### Reasons for choosing Grasshopper

Cheaper and seemed like there were less strings attached

#### Reasons for switching to Grasshopper

It is an economical, efficient system to use. The app with the little grasshopper face is memorable and cute.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I like having a transcription of a voice mail (even when it isn't really clear.) Logging in or out is simple to do. Texting is an added tool that is most helpful when people will read a text quicker than listen to a voice message.

#### Cons

The call logs are difficult to 'translate' when I need to see if a number has actually called us. The interface at the website for working with calls already in is not intuitive. About once a week, I must uninstall and reinstall the app on my phone to keep it working smooth. I know when the system won't let me answer a call, but keeps saying which numbers to press for certain actions, the time has come to refresh the installation.

### Grasshopper is Awesome!

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Kellyn D.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Computer Software
- Product usage: Used unspecified for unspecified
- Reviewed: April 2015
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

When I started my computer repair and consulting business I wanted to make sure that I would be able to take calls from clients and greet them professionally. To do this I needed to know whether my calls that were coming in were for business or personal. That's difficult to do when all you have is a cell phone. I found Grasshopper and now my calls show up with my Grasshopper number as my caller ID and it even announces calls based on what extension they dialed so I have an idea what the call is about. It's a really awesome service for me and I recommend it to anyone who is running a business who needs their home and business calls separate without breaking the bank and while still being able to work from anywhere.

#### Pros

Affordable pricing, Easy to use dashboard, Unlimited Extensions, Amazing Customer Support, Receiving Faxes in your Email.

#### Cons

No ability to send and receive text messages as this is popular among businesses now, no new feature upgrades since I started using the service a few years ago, Every once in a while a call won't go through for some odd reason but it is rare, the interface could use a fresh coat of paint while still retaining some of the advanced features. I had to downgrade to the old interface to use the Informational Extensions feature.

#### Vendor response

Thanks so much for the feedback and kind words! We have texting on our radar, it just isn't something we've put in the works yet. We love the idea of being able to text customers, so it's something we're hoping to add in the future. I'll communicate your thoughts on the interface to our product team. Thanks again for the feedback! - Mary

### Up to recently, my experience has been very good. Something has changed.

We can make long distance phone calls without an additional charge and we can make calls from any phone using our business number.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5

#### Pros

The ability to have calls, texts, and messages follow us to whatever phone we happen to be using is very beneficial to our business. The availability to get a transcription of a voice mail makes keeping up with our clients' needs when we can't listen to a voice mail much easier.

#### Cons

Up until recently making calls using Grasshopper, from our office, was very easy. All it took was to register the phone number 1 time and after that, it would be recognized every time we dialed the toll-free number. Recently, something changed, and Grasshopper is no longer receiving a caller id, which means that we have to register the phone number every time we want to make a call through the Grasshopper system, from our office. This is very frustrating since we are using Grasshopper so we don't have to pay another carrier.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for the review, Sheree! Looking at your ticket history we believe this is an issue with your local number carrier unfortunately. I can see how frustrating that must be so if you need help reaching out to your carrier to resolve, please let us know.

I really miss more features on the phone directly, like a feature to name the extensions by user name. With the current features it's needed to type letters of the name of the person you're searching in the directory.
