An awesome business phone and SMS Solution for today's mobile driven world.

OpenPhone is a business phone and SMS solution designed specifically to make communication easier for small businesses owners and their teams. It offers a wide range of features that are tailored to meet the needs of entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, freelancers, and other small teams without unnecessary friction or feature bloat . With OpenPhone, you can make and receive calls, send and receive text messages, and even schedule messages to be sent at a later date. I love that it lets me share my phone number with customers without revealing my personal cell phone. Plus, OpenPhone offers a simple, straightforward pricing structure that makes it an ideal choice for businesses on a budget. Works awesome with my iphone.

PROS

OpenPhone is one piece of my business toolkit that I simply cannot be without. I own and manage two small businesses and was finding giving out my personal number unmanageable as I didn't know who was calling me and for what purpose. Having a dedicated local number that I can tie to my business in google maps, facebook, and my websites was a huge piece of my business toolkit. Openphone has been amazing.

CONS

There have been a few service outages in the time I have been a customer, but the openphone team has been responsive about action taken, and have communicated well though it all. All have been resolved in a timely fashion.

Reason for choosing OpenPhone

Ease of managing multiple numbers and sms inboxes.

Reasons for switching to OpenPhone

The ability to easily manage multiple numbers

Great 2nd line phone service for business

Had problems initially porting my number due to my problems from my previous service. I worked with one tech person at OpenPhone who was proactive, communicative, and really made me feel like my business was super important to them. The service is crystal clear, and everyone I've reached out with has been responsive very quick. Love the new services that keep being introduced, especially the auto transcript of voicemail and call recordings. Havent used the auto attendant, but plan to soon. So many features all for one low price. OpenPhone is a great business partner to have.

PROS

separate contacts lists, windows desktop app, many features with new ones constantly being rolled out, and all for a very reasonable monthly charge are why I love Openphone, but what truly separates them from others I've tried has been the support I received during implementation and porting my number.

CONS

The only thing I'd like to see is the ability to set a (or for it to have its own) custom ringtone

Reason for choosing OpenPhone

What initially sold me was the ability to keep a separate contacts list for my business contacts out of my phone's regular contacts app, along with a reasonable cost

Reasons for switching to OpenPhone

Dingatone was full of nonsense, like it was designed for teenagers (maybe it was). The worst was a game they had where other customers could go in and steal your credits. Not a good service for business use. What annoyed me was, like most other low cost phone apps, was it requiring to connect to your phone contact list. Its important to me to keep my business and personal contacts separate.

Do NOT waste your time or business with OpenPhone - I've lost a lot of money

I have lost business while using OpenPhone since calls cannot be actually answered (they are automatically disconnected). I thought maybe they had an automatic robo detector but turns out, their system just doesn't work. I have had family members trying to call that have to email us because they cannot call or text. I honestly don't know how they can do this to businesses.

PROS

Nothing works and IT keeps asking me to waste a ton of time to help them figure it out.

CONS

Syncing doesn't work - EVER. I have numerous screenshots and have sent them to IT. They keep asking for more details but seeing as how I'm trying to run a business, it's hard to track everything over and over again to help them figure it out. I don't receive calls and am not able to make calls. The phone rings (sometimes), I pick up and it automatically disconnects me. IT again, wanted me to give them phone numbers, times, etc. AND wanted to put some tracer on my phone. I don't think so. After months of begging for a better outcome, nothing has changed.

Reason for choosing OpenPhone

Seemed like it would at least do the basics. Boy was I wrong.

Reasons for switching to OpenPhone

Google voice quality on calls is less than desirable. OpenPhone has better call quality (IF you can get and stay on a call). But I had zero issues with GV syncing and actually receiving text messages, etc.

Powerful, reliable, simple to use! It works.

We needed an uncomplicated phone. Previously we were paying too much for what we needed and the system was overly complex. Openphone has been easy to work with from the get-go. The customer support has been fantastic whenever we've had a feature request or run into issues (rare). Highly recommend for small businesses and solopreneurs to separate personal phones from business.

PROS

Quick and easy setup. Excellent customer support including new feature requests. Works very well on a daily basis.

CONS

As one we run two businesses with the same team in the same industry, initially we were hoping to use the same phone number and then redirect to the correct company. There was a small workaround initially however a feature has since been added to allow us to do this without a "hack".

Reason for choosing OpenPhone

Their feature set was clearly communicated (met our needs) and offered at a competitive price.

Reasons for switching to OpenPhone

Was looking for a more affordable phone service that provided the features that we needed and not have us paying for a lot extra.
