I rarely give 5 stars to anyone, but CallCentric earned them. We were using PhonePower (1 or 2 stars, arrgh!) and learned that our home phone had been ringing busy for over a week and important calls had not gotten through. After much hassle with PP, I found CallCentric and got a new number. Getting setup was easy and the online customer support was prompt, professional, extremely competent, and patient working with me on customizing my account. My original home number (for 20+ years) was ported from PhonePower to CallCentric with assistance from CC support. Here are the benefits to having "unbundled" services from Callcentric: #1: My configuration now is: calls to the orig number are forwarded to the new CC number. That is Inbound only, $1.95/month, not calling out on it. New number is both In and Out, a "normal" phone number. We also have a number used by an alarm system, Outbound only, saving more than $29/month with most Voip servcies. #2: CallCentric allows me to customize features that most Voip providers do not. We have a new CallerID of our choosing; SMS texts can go straight through, as expected, forwarded to a mobile, or emailed -- our choice. When calls come in, they are filtered to deal with spam and then there are special "Call Treatments". Calls from MY doctor's office rings on the home landline AND simultaneously on MY personal mobile. Calls from my wife's family can go straight to her mobile and even not ring on the home phones. There is an option for "hunting": if a phone doesn't answer, the call goes to a second number (mobile) or a third, ... And the caller does not know about the treatments. A call to our original number is answered (or sent to voicemail, etc.) and they do not know what phone we answer. Might be away from the house on a mobile, the caller does not know that. Get a DID number for a family member and customize call treatments for them. Bottom-line: CallCentric has the highest quality network I have ever experienced, superb technical support, excellent custom features, and unbundled services so I pay only for what I need. I am paying less than 1/5th of what I would (did, sigh) pay for the same three numbers at PhonePower, Verizon, and many others. Reviews from 10 years ago may read differently, but CallCentric is world-class these days.
Callcentric offers the worst customer service imaginable. Listen to all the reviews. They offer only ticket based support for any issue you have. So if you're having technical/billing issues even emergency ones which are breaking your service, you will have to open a ticket and wait. Furthermore, based on my experience, much like other people's below, the technical support person will disclaim any responsibility even if it's clear he could help. Do you really want to trust your phone service to a company that offers only support tickets for help? Think about it ...
My phone stopped working, no dial tone, nothing. Contacted Support was on phone for over an hour trying to fix issue. Could not get phone to work and was told to send phone back and they will issue a new one. Two months later on my bill I am charged for phone I returned, first Net2Phone stated I did not return phone, they finally found phone I returned and I figured all was good. Receive my next bill and there is still the charge for phone I returned. Contact Net2Phone to be told they tested phone and it was deemed damaged and they are charging me. I ask for copy of testing they did on phone and to return the phone to me. I was told "THEY CANNOT DO THAT FOR ME" , i CANNOT HAVE PHONE BACK BECAUSE IT IS IN INVENTORY! This is some kind of scam this Company is doing! I have spent hours sending emails and still getting no where. Search for a better Company to do business with, do not trust Net2phone.
The service was not bad, until we had an issue with the cordless phones. They have a very difficult time with simple tasks. (it took them a long string of emails and about 5 people to understand that we needed to replace a broken phone, which took them over a week). After they finally sent us a replacement phone, it would not connect to the existing base. Don't worry, they said they can link in to our computer and sort it all out... before I knew it, none of the cordless phones worked. Now a couple weeks later they have sent us a new base and new cordless phones, but don't have time to call to help set them up. Don't even ask about onsite help, they don't do that. They were quick to send the monthly invoice despite us not having service for half of it.
