Multiple landlines being used. All lines have quality issues and at times so bad customer can not be understood. It sounds as a really bad connection as if a cell phone where being used and it was breaking up. After 3 months of verified problems they finally came out and determined some of the equipment was bad. After replacing some of the equipment we were back and operational with no problems. Now the same problem has come back up and we are again having to use our personal cell phones for company use even though we are paying close to $600 a month for their services. Quest came out and stated that there equipment is not even all hooked up. We can not get a simple signal technical off of their computer monitoring program to physically come out and look at their equipment. Also internet connection is really slow and at times don't even work. Simple signal states that if the other company that shares the lines is watching a video on the internet it will cause interference with the phone lines. $600 a month seems pricy if you can't use internet connection and phone lines at the same time. My cell phone is capable of this and it only runs $100 a month
Great sound quality, very creative staff. The team put together my phone system for me, asked me how i imagined it could work in a perfect world, then built the system to those specifications (i didn't know they could do it the way i described, but it's great). The training staff was very prompt and friendly, got my team up to speed on the new features that will keep my co-workers in contact. Provisioning team helped keep the setup simple, pre-programmed everything so i just needed to plug in phones around the office. The support team has also been great, tweaking my setup for me, very nice. Service has been very reliable, very happy with the quality and sound.
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 ...
