The Future is Here!!
We are a small, but growing team and have always battled with our phone systems. Number of incoming lines, number of handsets, complex configuration, no options for remote workers. Spoke has solved all these problems and given us much more functionality for less cost per month. We will never need to think about another phone system again. If we have 20 or 200 team members, or have 1 or 10 different locations, Spoke will make it all so simple.
PROSSpoke provides our team with freedom of communication. They have access to the rich feature set of an enterprise telephone system right on their mobile phone. Our team members have conversions with each other and/or our customers from anywhere. We are no longer tied to our desk phone. Importantly, our team can also control when they are available for calls and easily access voice mail and call recordings. Conference Calls - WOW! They are so simple on Spoke. No special numbers to remember, no pin codes. Just setup the call and the Spoke does the rest.
CONSNothing about the software, just be careful with blue tooth headset compatibility. Best to stick to the ones that have been tested and recommended by Spoke.

Good functions, easy to use, great support
Day to day operations are great and easy to onboard our staff into. There is no hardware investment in maintaining devices for our remote team. Administrative functions are also great in setting up and managing users and the integration into Hubspot to track calls is really beneficial to manage our sales team quotas.
CONSThere is a bit of a lag in our VoiP calls, in which our team have gotten use to but still remains a bit jarring in our customer calls.
Reason for choosing Spoke Phone
Whilst researching an inappropriate product, pricing and functionality were the key drivers for our choice for Spoke.
Reasons for switching to Spoke Phone
We switched from zoom because at the time zoom telephone was not available in Australia.

Awesome Telephone Solution
Easy to setup, use and integrate with and great support when or if you need it.
CONSLike any VOIP system, you are reliant on the quality internet connection. Nothing Spoke Phone can do about that thought!
Reason for choosing Spoke Phone
We wanted a VOIP system so that our distributed team can all be contactable as though they were in the main office.

This platform works well and support is Excellent.
FANTASTIC. We are really impressed with such a wonderful way to run call management in a very flexible way with very reasonable costs. The customer support is also far beyond what we have received from telcos here in Australia such as telstra, optus and iinet.
PROSEasy and fast to set up and learn. Feature packed with many options to customise. Fantastic support and fair about allowing you to use on trial longer until you are sure you want to implement a change to this modern platform. They are always updating and giving plenty of information on what is new.
CONSCalls received will not experience the usual answered by a person. I didn't look into changing the Nina with our own pre recorded tape, however it works well.
Reason for choosing Spoke Phone
Much better customer support and clear calls, easy to set up in minutes.
Reasons for switching to Spoke Phone
This platform is modern, customisable and easy to use, giving functionality and mobility for a much more flexible office.

Thanks for the great review, Alan. So glad Spoke Phone is working well for you and your business!

Much easier than other well known brands
It has replaced our desk phone meaning multiple people can be 'in the office' without actually being in the office! It also helps over the weekend, we never miss any calls.
PROSWe have a part time office managers, meaning we need to switch between who gets calls for the day. With our previous supplier it was clunky and would take on average 10 minutes just to switch users. Spoke Phone is SO EASY to do and all within 4 clicks! Once we were set up (heaps of support and help with this) we were off and racing. We still have questions every now and then and the online chat box is really easy and convenient.
CONSBit confusing during set up with an auto-attendant but understand it all now . We'd really like an automatic text function so if someone leaves a voicemail they get a text saying we will call you back soon.
Reasons for switching to Spoke Phone
Because Optus we're way too clunky and all over the place. They have an online portal - not as easy to use and that would never save the changes so you would end up having to call anyway meaning it would take at least 10 minutes to make a simple change. I put in several complaints and "tickets" with no response or action. Very annoying having to prove my identity all the time as well!
Vendor Response
Hi Jami-Lee. Thanks so much for the review and feedback about the auto-attendants. We've some good plans for simplifying auto-attendants and the entire onboarding, so your feedback is helpful. Best regards, Jason

Great software for calls
Helpful support team, easy to understand the systems and implement. Great notifications system and cheap way to call international numbers.
CONSOccasionally has issues with the wifi making receiving calls difficult. Would love a feature to select regular unavailability, at the moment restricted to normal weekends, but hospitality staff usually have weekdays off so would be nice to set that up instead of each week having to mark ourselves as on holiday.

Great product to invest in.
I like that it's very user-friendly and simple. Updates are also very great - they listen to what the customers want and make the improvements with them in mind. I also like the fact that this software is able to cross the borders between different team members no matter where in the world you are. Customer support is also superb and very friendly. I haven't encountered one single rude person when I ask for help via spoke. They are always ready to help - especially [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. Thank you for your help.
CONSDropped calls are happening from time to time but it's not really the software fault. Mostly it's because of the carrier or the internet connection. It can be a bit frustrating when that happens but the customer support are always ready to give clarification on what is happening and also how to fix the problem- that is if it can be fixed at the moment.

Spoke Review
Just great overall. I like the fact that we can call from our "landline" number making us look bigger than we are!
PROSVery easy to set up, and the support is fantastic. They are always online and super helpful. The system itself is also really easy to use and amend as you need it to.
CONSThe only thing I dislike about it is that it doesn't work with Apple Carplay, so if I am in my car and a call comes in, I can "answer" the call but nothing is there and they can't hear me or me hear them.
Reason for choosing Spoke Phone

Reasons for switching to Spoke Phone
Expense! The cost of diversion is crazy
Vendor Response
Thanks Mandi! Re: the Apple car play. Please try this. Answer the call on the Spoke app. The audio should be coming out the iPhone. then tap the audio button on Spoke and select your car Bluetooth. Then see if the audio comes out the car. We see issues with some folks on iPhones where if you answer on the phone, Apple will route the audio to the phone speaker even if you are connected to Bluetooth

Thanks for your review Dave. We are glad your team is enjoying the productivity that Spoke Phone can provide. Yes, we understand the issues in areas of poor reception. As with all VoIP calls, you need to have good data connection (4G/LTE) to ensure good call quality. Alternatively, in poor reception areas you can flick over to carrier calling mode which will provide a better calling experience.

Future proofing your telecommunications
Spoke phone is a fantastic product that has allowed us to consolidate our entire work network to mobile, and future proof our business communications. Interface is clean and easy to use. Great customer service, support and frequent updates to the service. Would highly recommend to anybody who values a remote or out of office workspace, a rich set of features, and allowance for flexible user arrangements
PROSYour business network entirely on mobile! Clean and easy to use interface Rich feature set with lots of additional options to add value Integration with many third party services (such as CRM) Great tech support

Well on the way to something amazing
Spoke allows us to work from anywhere with a professional phone service at our disposal. Staff can keep their personal phone numbers private while making and receiving calls on their own mobile phones. Voicemail, transferring calls between users and call conferencing are all a breeze and features such as call recording and dictation are beginning to change our workflows for the better.
PROSSpoke brings the best bits of the office phone systems we’ve always known using the tool we always have with us. More than that it extends beyond the abilities of traditional systems by leveraging the latest technological advances. Somehow it does all of this at a very reasonable price with excellent customer service.
CONSWhile Spoke is well on the way to greatness it’s still a work in progress. Features like the address book are still a little clunky but I’m told there are plans afoot for making it more user friendly and capable.

The team at Spoke have been extraordinarily helpful in getting our new system setup and running.
The best thing is knowing that we are not missing incoming calls or that calls are sitting on an answering machine somewhere unchecked. The other feature we like the most is the ability to transfer incoming calls between people regardless of which office they are located in. We are also very impressed with the technical support and customer service provided - at times going above and beyond to fix problems that we created at our end and need not have been they problem to fix.
CONSWe are located in a regional community where data and cell connections are sometimes patchy which means that on occasion call quality can be a problem - but this is not unique to Spoke and is an issue with mobile coverage in our area.
