STAY AWAY!!! I booked in yesterday with agent John Acre and within 5 minutes I had a phone. No one helped me start it or login, I asked the agent multiple times on what to do. When I asked about messaging he told me to contact support. I contacted support and was told it would be an additional $80 but no one stated that in the contract I signed. I told him I want the account cancelled and closed. He said that was fine and an agent would contact me within 24 hours. Its been over 24 hours AND NO ONE CONTACTS ME. I contacted their support service online and was told to wait 48 hours. When I said that would not happen I was told that cancellations take 30 days!!!! Excuse me, I cancelled within an hour of opening the service and they want me to wait 30 days to cancel. These posts will get worse and I am contacting BBB and Ive contacted my bank.
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!
I had used this service provider 10 years ago with great results. Recently, I needed a new VoIP line so I tried to use them again. I have been greatly disappointed. They still had a great price point and signup was quick and easy... but .. that's it. For the past year I have had my service just stop working either from their proxy servers being down or finding they have not properly processed payment ( my bank confirmed ). Calling or emailing support is a waist of time, you will never get through or get a response. Their payment system is unreliable and if a payment is declined during their outage, they cut your service, it's automated with no grace period. This has now happened twice in one year. I now am trying to close the account but can not since the web site function to delete the account fails, i get a message to contact support... No response.... I have had to resort to having my bank stop charges from them.
Price not the lowest, but as in all VoIP you definitely get what you pay for. They are my first choice for trunking with the 5 SMB's we service for VoiP
