Where do I start - The sales representatives are taught well. They will manipulate you into thinking their product is great and will give you no issues, but that's far from the truth. I heard their sales representative present their product and while all seems to be on the leading edge of technology, it really isn't. The company takes no responsibility for any of their network issues, from outages or no service on your phones. Not only will your phones only work 50% of the time (if that) but when submitting a ticket for support, you have to go through their help desk first and getting a response from someone on their technical side is a never ending cat and mouse chase. That is, if you get someone to reply to you. Outages happen every three or so weeks, sometimes less, causing your phones to go out every so often. So if you like paying for terrible service from tech reps who sound like they hate their jobs and never actually having your phones or circuits work, iCore/Vonage is great for you. Please do yourself a favor and stay far away from this atrocious company.
Customer service completely SUCKS, both technical support and account management in response time and in solving the issues. The quickest I have had a "high priority" ticket fixed is 6 hours, and right now there is one that it has been 3 days and it is still not fixed. And I have had multiple techs working on the same ticket because I call in to get an update and they try and walk me through the same troubleshooting steps the tech before them had be do because they don't manage their ticket system well or the employees are just too lazy to enter in what they already had me try.<br /> The phone system they gave us (Polycom VX500) has had issue after issue rising after 6 months of use. One major issue happened that it was proven it was the phones before 1 year warranty expired, but they procrastinated getting new phone and then after the one year tried to give the excuse they weren't under warranty anymore. Horrid reviews of the phones were found online after this. Our network partially discounts at least once a week for at least 1 employee's workstation, and again they take forever to get it fixed.
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.
