Our company got 8X8 and had trouble from the get go to set it up. I asked for help and even offered to pay someone to come out and set it up but was told they don't do that and I could watch some videos or look at their website for help. About 5 months later of never using the service and paying for it, the owner of the company passed away with Covid. I called and asked to cancel the service as we were deciding whether or not the company would continue. They said the only way to cancel is to pay the entire 2 year contract in full. Just a terrible customer service experience and a no very understanding or compassionate business. Think twice before signing up for their service!
The worst experience ever. I would put 0 stars if I could. It started off as a great partnership, but recently became a nightmare. Firstly - our call log history disappeared and it took them 4 DAYS to fix that, in the meanwhile we couldn’t even see the calls we might have missed during that time. Support was just terrible - unresponsive, unprofessional with a terrible English. They finally managed to fix that and I was almost certain to switch to another company, but they promised me that it is the last time something like this happens. Fast forward to today - we have been unable to send out any texts for a majority of our extensions since Thursday last week. It is Tuesday today and the issue is still there — even though they told me two or three times that it was fixed. As I am writing this review I have been listening to their TERRIBLE on hold melody for 39 minutes while they are supposedly transferring me to “a senior tech” — whatever it means. We are now in the sixth day of waiting, yesterday lost a $1500+ of revenue because of this and who know how much more we are going to lose because of this terrible company. We will be porting out our numbers and leaving 8x8 for good as soon as humanly possible and I will probably be putting a case together with my attorney to sue them for lost profits. My advise - never work with this company and if you are working with them now - run without looking back.
This has been the worst experience I’ve ever had. I switched to them from Verizon. They promised that my business partner and I would have all the same account access. Welp that was a lie, only one of us could get voicemails, texts and faxes. The other person got it via a email and we didn’t always get the email. I spent 3 months trying to fix it with them with no prevail. My business partner has been dealing with them for about an hour now trying to get a copy of a bill for the next year and they refuse to give it to us. They are telling us we need to pay our bill for the next 12 months before they will send us a statement. What kind of customer service is that? I will never recommend this company and the owners should be ashamed for putting such a garbage product put on the market. I will be leaving and will be giving negative reviews on every site I can so people know the real RingCentral.
I switched to RingCentral after our last VOIP provider failed us. It was the best move we ever made. Excellent features, excellent quality, and excellent support. I highly recommend RingCentral to any company looking for a high quality VOIP provider.
