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 ...
I have been with OneSuite for over 18 yrs I have brought my modem with me for multiple overseas visits. I was able to make and receive calls with clarity and reliability. I used their smartphone app since 2015 when I got my first smartphone, until recent the implementation of 5G service when I had to get a new phone. For years I would buy a data SIM card when overseas and use the voip app through the data stream (this was before Wifi calling folks). it has worked beautifully. Thanks to Android software changes the app has not worked with any of my android 10 or 11 phones. (still works with my 2015 android). Incoming calls have always been free, out bound calls depends on the country your calling but has always been very low priced. This is still a small company, I think I have always spoken with the same customer service agent over the years. He has been great to work with, but they are overwhelmed much of the time because of the small staff. They are in process to upgrade their app but they did offer an alternative app to use in the meantime. If you are looking for an inexpensive way to have a voip line this is the one for you. Be sure to at least receive a few calls (I use an old fashioned message machine) within the use limit or they will shut off the account. I was able to get mine re-instated the couple of times I neglected the line.
We used OneSuite for years with no problems. Then we did not use it for a while because the person we used to call in another country died. We now have a new contact there, however OneSuite will not work and we cannot log in, getting the message that the account has expired. The documentation does not disclose that they will keep your money if you don't use the service for 6 months.
