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.
PROSOpenPhone 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.
CONSThere 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

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.
PROSseparate 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.
CONSThe 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.
PROSNothing works and IT keeps asking me to waste a ton of time to help them figure it out.
CONSSyncing 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.
PROSQuick and easy setup. Excellent customer support including new feature requests. Works very well on a daily basis.
CONSAs 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.

Love this phone app!
I love many things - it works wonderfully, hardly ever a glitch! Customer service is great. Love that I can see texts, phone calls and voice mails from customers all in one spot!Anyone on my team can log into open phone from their device and make a call/respond to the customer from the app.
CONSThere is only one con. Once in a while, I run into a glitch where I want to enter this number into documents, but the phone number is not recognized as real phone number, so I have to put my personal number....so it's great as the forward facing phone number for customers for my business, but I have to use my personal number for certain administrative accounts.

Cheaper and better quality, more reliable calls.

Pray you don’t have a power outage
The idea of not having a handheld phone and answering calls from home.
CONSRuns on internet so if your internet goes down, you can’t receive or make calls. Also, some employees would rather have a handheld phone but it’s not an option. Only a headset.
Vendor Response
Hi Lindsay, thanks for your review, we appreciate you taking the time out. I noted that you mentioned not being able to use our service if your internet/power goes down. OpenPhone is also available on your phone or tablet (iOS/Android). You just need to download the app from the app store or visit https://www.openphone.com/downloads. That way, you can have access to OpenPhone whenever you need to. Hope that helps!

Using OpenPhone to always stay connected
In my two years of using OpenPhone, I have never felt the need to replace this app because it has pretty much everything I need in a calling app.
PROSThe interface of both the PC and mobile version are very smooth and user friendly.
CONSWhenever an update occurs, there is usually a minor inconvenience that comes along with it. Something like call logs not getting updated, or the app itself taken too long to update.
Reasons for switching to OpenPhone
Lack of options with regards to calling and texting.

Best Business Phone Ever!
My experience with OpenPhone is really awesome. I use this every day to communicate with my prospects and clients. I always keep this in my arsenal. Their mobile app is too good and user friendly plus UI looks too good. You can do everything from their mobile like calls, sms, and voicemails and the most interesting part is their snippets feature.
PROSThis is my daily use business phone. I use OpenPhone to call and text my prospects and clients and this is a very helpful solution that I found on the Internet because when it comes to features there's no other software provided at this price. Their support is too fast like lightning speed, and they respond too quickly whenever you have a problem. OpenPhone gives you everything you need to start a business from scratch like calls, text messages, sending voicemails, voicemail transcriptions, call forwarding, round-robin and you can also add new numbers. Incredible app!
CONSThere's nothing to dislike about OpenPhone but it would be very helpful for sales if they provide a power dialer. This will save a lot of time, no doubt. But still, I love this app.

Great for business. Lots of options. Some slight call lag.
I really like Open Phone. It makes it easy to take phone calls with multiple numbers on my computer or cell phone. Easy to forward, text message, etc.
PROSI love how easy it is to use Open Phone. It's easy to set up, and reasonably priced.
CONSThere is a bit of a lag on my phone calls. It's not brutal, but enough to be noticeable. It has gotten better over time, but still exists. They are working on integrations, but I am still waiting for a native Integromat/Make integration. They need to contact Integromat/Make to set this up, but haven't done so. Not sure why.

Not ready for mainstream
I wanted a phone system that can be used by a distributed team with phone, sms, mms capabilities. Sadly the poor call quality is rendering this product a 'looks good but it is far from good'.
PROSGood user interface. Ability to manage several lines from a central location. A lot of common sense features.
CONSCall quality is terrible on mobile devices, whether you are on wifi or data. If on data, unless you have full bars don't bother answering the phone. The SMS replies do not appear to be working properly. We have some programmed for when the customer has left a voice mail and some for missed calls. The caller receives 2 text messages when they leave a message. This seems like an easy thing to fix. We regularly experience an issue where the phone randomly switches from the headset to the speaker or phone and are unable to switch back. Tech support more or less told us that there is nothing they can do, but that they have forwarded the issue to their engineering team, but there is no timeline of when it would get looked at.
Reason for choosing OpenPhone
Had some common sense features that were lucking in other providers, main ones being MMS, and the ability to manage multiple lines from the interface.
Reasons for switching to OpenPhone
Poor call quality, and terrible support.

Lots of dropped calls and buggy features
Poor. I just want calls to not get dropped. How have zoom figured out voice + video but openphone cannot figure out just voice alone?
PROSUser interface is nice. It's easy to use and designed well the core function does not work well
CONSLots of dropped calls. The number one function is to answer calls and it cannot get that right. Loads of bugs generally, and the development team don't care. It's been months of me reporting issues and getting no fixes. The "do no disturb" feature for example just does not work, I keep getting calls when it's turned on, and my team members, the people who should be taking the calls, are not seeing the calls come through even though they should be.

Not worth the difficulty
Less than acceptable. Set up was problematic, could figure out what took so long. Promises to get connection soon..which is about two weeks. Even more a problem when leaving, they couldn’t care about requirement to have the number ported in a week.
PROSThe system worked fine once the number is ported, which took about two weeks. Lucky I didn’t need a phone right away. Receiving and making call functions worked as long as you have internet connection
CONSThe time to get set up and more the time to get my number ported to a cellular service provider when I needed it. About three weeks to get the number released, two weeks after the requirement for a phone for work was needed. They say they will reply within 48 hours, but is more like 48 to 60 hours...sometime in the second day after my inquiry. No urgency or proficiency in getting the routine administrative process of porting the number to another provider. They would rather you don’t have phone access let a paying customer leave when their service is no longer required. They promise to get the job done, but it will be a long wait, if it happens at all.

Easy-to-use business phone for calling US clients!
Overall, it is simple, easy and with a user-friendly interface, in terms of reliability, there were days that the software would crash, but customer service is quick to attend to your concerns. It runs much faster/better on the phone than in the computer (requires more bandwidth).
PROSI can see if my colleagues are on a call, there is an option for recording calls which is essential for call reviews, transferring calls is possible as well.Text messaging runs smoothly, although if using the desktop version, it doesn't include much emojis. Voicemail also transcribes to a text with the recorded voicemail which is great!
CONSMy colleagues and I tried to set up the caller id feature, which is an impressive feature, since we do a lot of inbound calls to families but after setting it up, databases can't pick up our caller id still, and some clients do not answer our phone calls because of it. Have also been notified by some clients that sound quality is bad at times, but this can be due to varied factors.

CONSCore features don't work. They have a bug in their call routing that kept calls from coming to my team until I figured out a way to work around it.

Great product providing a professional and efficient presence

OpenPhone takes away all the complications and hurdles in getting a phone solution for a small business.

Great Product!
OpenPhone is simple, affordable, and well organized. Customer service is great. I like how texts and phone calls are in one place. And I like being able to have an app on my phone for business, so that I can separate business calls/texts from personal calls/texts.
