### "Phone.com is the best VOIP Office phone service"

June 13, 2022

5.0

Overall I absolutely love Phone.com. It's by far the best business grade phone service I've ever used. We also use it for our home phone service and it's been rock solid. I've recommended it to several friends.

Pros

Phone.com is by far the best VOIP phone system I've ever used. It has a variety of features and a good mobile app. Plus their mobile app is good. The best part is their customer service though. It is bar none.

Cons

Their mobile app could be a little better and it's been a long time but it used to be a tiny bit confusing but I heard they've fixed it. I set up our services once and haven't been back in years to change anything.

### "Affordable and Easy Business Phone Solution with Some Limitations"

June 11, 2026

5.0

Overall experience is generally positive, especially for small businesses and startups that need an affordable communication system. It is easy to set up and use, with helpful features like call forwarding, voicemail-to-email, texting, and virtual receptionist tools that improve business communication. The flexibility of using it on mobile devices and computers makes it convenient for remote work and on-the-go access.

Pros

One major advantage is its VALUE FOR MONEY, since it offers affordable plans for small businesses compared to traditional phone systems. It provides strong EASE OF USE, with a simple setup and an easy-to-navigate dashboard that doesn’t require technical skills. It also has useful FEATURES like call forwarding, voicemail-to-email, texting, and virtual receptionist tools, which help businesses manage communication professionally. The service supports flexible MOBILITY, allowing users to make and receive business calls from mobile devices or computers anywhere. In terms of CUSTOMER SUPPORT, users generally have access to helpful assistance when issues arise. Overall, it is a convenient and cost-effective communication tool for small businesses and remote teams.

Cons

What I like least about Phone.com is that it can feel limited for larger or fast-growing businesses.

### "Great when it works"

November 22, 2024

3.0

Awesome when it works, but super glitchy and lately has been failing completely.

Pros

The features you get for the price are awesome. I love that we can call, text, fax and video chat from the same platform. It really streamlines communication with our clients. The customer service is also really great. Acutally get a real human, and they can almost always help solve your problem (except when their system is down).

Cons

The system is super glitchy. I don't think I have ever had a video chat that did not have some issues. October and Nov 2024 the system has actually crashed (servers down) several times - right in the middle of big client meetings. It has completely disrupted our business and reflects poorly. We would like to stay with Phone.com, but unfortunately we are probably going to have to leave, and pay a lot more for a more reliable platform.

### "Still a bit clunky"

May 14, 2026

4.0

Works well for what I need it for - not phone call heavy. Allows for texting with clients and can retrieve messages on my cell phone

Pros

Fast and easy setup for on the go businesses without a physical location. Can be anywhere and use the services

Cons

Interface is still a bit clunky and I have been using for 5 years now hoping it will improve, but it doesn't.

### "Look professional like a big organization"

February 17, 2023

5.0

My experience with Phone.com has been a wonderful experience. I will continue to use phone.com due to the wonderful customer service, the price and the ease of use.

Pros

I love that I am able to have a 1800 number and I can also text from that number and receive messages as well. Their customer service is very helpful and if the agent at the time isn't able to find the solution, which has been a rare case for me, they forward you to someone that can assist you or make a ticket for you and someone with the answer will get back to you within no later than a couple of hours.

Cons

I honestly don't have any cons that I can think of at the moment due to me having a pretty good experience so far and the software meets all of my business needs.

### "They will torture you when you cancel"

December 5, 2023

2.0

Pros

Good price, good number, decent reliability.

Cons

I don't want to associate with ANY company that puts you on hold for one hour when cancelling service. You have no other option. YOU HAVE TO CALL. And then they put you one hold for 1+ hour. And the person was difficult to understand when I finally got through.

### "Dialing for Dollars is EASY!"

January 30, 2026

5.0

I have been using it for two years, and everything is as described. The toll-free office phone number costs so little it is a boon.

Pros

Everything about Phone.com is terrific! From initial setup to ongoing support, pricing, and ease of use.

Cons

The ability (maybe I just don't know how to do it) to create an outgoing phone can from my phone. It just doesn't happen.

August 10, 2019

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

Pros

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

Cons

It currently does not have a google chrome extention.

Hello Jack, Thank you for you feedback! The google chrome extension for the 'Click to Call' feature is actually something that is in high demand for some of our customers. We have been hard at work getting this implemented and will hopefully be launching this in the near feature! If you ever need assistance with your account, features, or setup please call (844) 755-8566.

### "More than doubled their price"

August 8, 2017

2.0

Pros

Worked well for several years, before they changed their plans. Had good phone support when I set up a number of years ago and hassle free service until this past month.

Cons

I received a note stating that "unlimited minutes" didn't really mean that if I looked at the fine print and that I would have to upgrade to a plan that was more than double of what I was paying if I wanted to receive this same level of service I had been receiving for more than two years.

### "Terrible User Interface"

August 27, 2014

2.0

I initially really liked phone.com for it's flexibility in creating phone tree queues and custom messages. However, their customer "dashboard" is terrible. When I log in (after getting an error message every time) I finally get to the main website sales page - uh, why doesn't it direct me to my dashboard if I'm already a customer? To send a fax or do anything with the system is NOT clear in the least. The first options displayed should be big buttons to 1.Check messages 2.Send a Fax. But instead the big buttons are to view your bill or make a payment. It's not clear where to go to send a fax which the other main reason I got this account. I am a webdesigner and understand User Interface Design. The system sends an email to tell you if and when the fax goes through which is nice. If it fails for some reason you click the button to resend the fax in the email, however, again, another error message about a redirect loop. And after chatting with customer support they said if the resend button doesn't work I have to start over again from scratch. There is no way to log into the account and see the saved fax and resend it. Strange, especially when the email says it will save the fax for 7 days. So I'm not happy at all with the user interface. Too bad because these issues are so unbelievably simple to fix. Oh well, I'll find something better.

Pros

Good custom message creation and phone queue.

Cons

Terrible user interface No way to resend a fax through the dashboard Lots of error messages when user their preferred browser (Chrome) 50/50 failure rate on faxes so most have to be sent at least a second time.

### "Beware, not compatible with Android cell phones! "

March 4, 2024

2.0

Pros

Seems to work well with laptop. It is easy to use when operating properly. Easy to reach tech support.

Cons

It seems to be incompatible with Android cell phone. I have spent many hours and days with tech support and still no solution. I have to reinstall app at least 1x weekly just to make a phone call from my cell. Caller ID will not show my company name on receiving end.

### "Easily Accessible Work Communication"

April 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

There are various options available, and the tool is very configurable. If you want assistance, their customer service professionals are merely a chat message away and are always willing to assist. They may be able to advise you on how to configure the system to meet your individual needs.

Cons

Making a call can take a while to go through, and the process of getting set up can be irritating.

### "Very Poor Quality and No Customer Support At All"

March 17, 2022

1.0

Horrible customer support. Buy this service if you like getting ignored and paying for a service you don't receive

Pros

Its available if you like paying for something that constantly has problems

Cons

At random times certain features stop working, such as notifying when you get messages or calls. This is very detrimental when you are running a business and getting back to your client sis important. Several other clinicians in my practice have also experienced these same issues and have had to cancel their service. 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.

Pros

None currently, nothing is working and the chat support sends me to phone support. Phone support drops you out of the queue.

Cons

This went from being a stable product to having broken routing, broken alerts, it's sending me notifications to the wrong places, sending multiple times and hours late. I can't tell who has called who and when. I can't tell what calls have been returned or not.

The porting process has been an absolute nightmare. I've never experienced a company who cares so little about helping it's customers.

Absolutely NEVER would have chosen Phone.com had we known the hassle this was going to be. No one in their right mind would rationally choose phone.com. So let this review be your warning.

Awful.

Pros

It's nice that you're able to speak to someone although you will be on hold for 40 minutes to then be told you cannot return an overpriced VoIP phone.

The customer service department is inadequate and cannot do anything including accept a return. They prefer to put you on hold to the point you want to hang up.

October 30, 2024

signing up was easy. I don't have a great need for the service, but it makes my business look more professional. Unfortunately, I changed my debit card and now I can't update the info. So.... I can't pay my bill! The online change form doesn't work, you can't change It via their chat feature and you can't reach them by phone! I'm just going to let it disconnect and get another number somewhere else

Pros

I liked the fact that I could have a toll free number to use in my business.

Cons

The customer service is a joke! As mentioned in other reviews, they seem to have zero urgency in helping and you can't reach anyone by phone! It's kind of ironic that they provide phone numbers, but theirs is worthless. Good luck getting through

It use to be good with the customer service was base out of USA all my issues were resolved immediately and in a timely manner. Now it's impossible to get help they switched to a 3rd party Indian company no one understands I spent hours on hold while the "looked at my account". Receptionist service was simple, efficient, and affordable. All of a sudden they changed providers and our bill has gone from $300 to $1,300 in 1 month with the same services. They will cancel your account even though they won't give you a breakdown of the additional charges. Use to be so good I loved it now it's horrible!!!!!!!

Pros

Easy to use once you understand how to use it Self us online kiosk

Cons

3rd party customer service that doesn't speak english over charges no clear bill with line by line items unclear updates receptionist services are inconsistent
