Though it was affordable, I probably lost business as a result in the final analysis.

They also raise the price of it without informing you. I had to go through 4 people to cancel my account.

Also, at times it takes a long time to log in and it can be frustrating if you need to access the app quickly.

So let this review be your warning. The low price comes with a massive.

To say that the invoices are confusing would be a gross understatement.

We had problems with the app crashing mid-call. For awhile it would happen at the same time stamp for every call.

Dont need any hardware for this system and can use it anywhere. Has built in fax and sms capability and contact management, like the online portal for sms messaging very good and quick.

Customer service was great, good features and functionality, room for customizations, can keep personal phone number private.

That it was very affordable and that it was HIPAA compliant. The app was relatively easy to navigate as well.

It's HIPAA compliant with a signed BAA. Voice quality is excellent.

State of the art PBX was highly customizable and made our business sound like a fortune 500 company.

Most functionality is available but it can be very difficult to navigate. They could use a big UX cleanup across most of their website.

Good product, not super great. Ended up switching to something that fit my needs better.

IP phone system for on-the-go small business owners - great features that can make you look like a full-fledged company. Prices are competitive, too.

I am not sure exactly how it works with Ring Central for all our companies, which makes it hard for me to sort out my bills.

Given the affordability of the phone plan, I've decided I can live with the bugs, but they're still a pain.

15 years of great experience with phone. Com It is easy to use, it has a flexibility for work that improves business performance.

Overall my experience is positive. It's easy to set up and use.

There customer service is really good, answered quickly, no holding on line and they answered my questions and helped with using my recorded message as my first answer greeting.

I absolutely loved it except that it doesn't have a google chrome extention which made click-to-call- difficult for me.

AMAZING customer service/support. Easy configuration and sensible flow/interface.

Easy to set-up, easy to use. Great Business Phone System.

I like that it's scalable as my business grows and I can put a high-quality Polycom SIP phone right in my home office. The Android app is also useful if I want to make calls from that number remotely.

I like that the interface is simple to understand and is easy to integrate onto my phone without confusion.

Billing nightmare and missing critical Self-Help solutions/support.

I appreciate the versatility that phone.com has to offer when it comes to how you want to handle calls.

Great software when ready to upgrade from all the free apps.

I cant say enough great things. We love how it is over the internet so our phone service can go anywhere.

Routing calls or forwarding directly to a number and not through an extension will incur per minute charges over the basic minimums.

When you contact customer support, there is no urgency for them to assist you and never return your phone calls or emails. This is highly unprofessional as a business.

Terrible user interface. No way to resend a fax through the dashboard.

Although the website is very useful, it is somewhat outdated and thus difficult to navigate at first. Some settings are difficult to find and are not intuitive at all.

Powerful Cloud Based Phone System at the right price.

Overall, a great phone system. Just began using it and very happy.

Customer support simply doesn't seem to care a single bit about the massive inconvenience to our business that this porting delay has caused our business.

Phone.com was the best choice for my lastest company. They have great prices, excellent support and all the features that I need for my business.

I like the Instant Meeting function the most. It is so easy to invite a colleague to join a meeting quickly, which really improves the efficiency.

It is a comfortable experience, as user and IT help desk doing troubleshoot to this application, easy to use and easy for the user.

This is best software for communication. It is highly recommend for video calls because the video quality is higher than other softwares.

I was very happy with the customer service we received as we were deciding to upgrade our account, and I love that I can use it on my phone but also as an app on my computer.

What I like most about this software is that it is reliable and provides a much better user experience than the competition.

It offers better quality in video calls. Cloud storage for recordings is an awesome feature of the software.

It's amazing what a clean, clear interface can do to provide clarity before a meeting or conference call. That is not what Zoom offers.

Great and easy to use overall. Love the ability to integrate it into Outlook and use that as a means to book meetings and join them.

This could be very frustrating as some attendees are disruptive whether that is on purpose or not. This makes it very hard for some people to learn and to teach etc.

Everyone knows how to use it, you can use it on any device because you have specific apps and it works seamlessly. So it's kind of the most popular meeting software which everyone knows how to use it.

I think its a great software to facilitate meetings and  feel like you are in the same room as others. I love using the different backgrounds.

I love he fact that its free for 40 minute meetings. I love gathering my team for training on this lovely app.

The integration with Outlook and Slack is a game-changer. The ease of use for our customers and other folks (like our board members!) helps us look professional and reliable.

It has been very helpful in conducting meetings during the pandemic. The voice and video clarity is great.

They make it super easy to use, the video and audio quality are great, and the chatbox to type in is a great additional feature.

BUT with 2020 and organizing remote events for large audiences, Zoom has been great and a life-saver.

When we switched to online learning at the beginning of the pandemic, I was so thrilled that this software was easy to use.

The ability to seamlessly involve hundreds of participants at the same time  as well as easy UI makes Zoom an amazing alternative to other competitors.

I think we were so overwhelmed by the zoom at this bad time that there is nothing to worry about.

We love being able to hold meetings and the ease of inviting and logging on is worth the money spent on this service.

My favorite thing about this software is the price: FREE. You can't beat that, but not only is the software free the basic functionality that come with the free account are great.

Nothing so much to complain about the tool but sometimes the integration with google calender does not work properly.

I love how user friendly this application is. It was a breeze to purchase and sign up, the customer service is amazing.

This is the most user friendly platform of its kind and it is very reliable to work all throughout the day.

The experience was great and good product but the price isn't where it needs to be for small and medium-sized businesses to take advantage.

If you have set it to 9.30am, if somebody has technical problems at their end they will miss it because one cannot change the time from 9.30am to later.

Calls were often hacked and weird things would occur. This was hands down scary, created paranoia, and just an overall bad vibe.

Ease of use (even my elderly mom can use it!), no fee for 40 min option, good quality, well-known & respected; screen share option is nice; polls are nice.

The integration to select browsers has been a life-saver and I'd say the price is more affordable than other software in its category.

It's very easy to use, I just literally just click a button to start and that was it, the quality was great.

Was simple to integrate into Outlook so scheduling meetings is a breeze. Connection quality is superb even internationally.

I love that I can give my students the ability to write and draw on the screen, which can create more of a sense of community within the class as well.

Recently I read that Zoom had a security vulnerability, I'm worried about that and about the info hackers could get from my computer.

The ability to integrate external video devices is great for connecting broadcast equipment and have better quality meetings.

If your wifi connect is bad it can cut in and out. Whenever someone enters the meeting a sound plays that can be very annoying when your trying to listen to a presentation and someone joins late.

I honestly am not sure if it is one of the users in the meeting or if it internet related or what. However, the sound sometimes echos really bad and then the delay can be frustrating.
