Here's my story: I've used this service for 2 weeks now. It started off shaky. My VOIP did not work at first, so I contacted online help. After a little while they informed me that it looked like I was being sent onto an American system or something like that. They told me to wait for an e-mail saying that it had been fixed. So I waited, and nothing came. So I tried to use it the next day and it worked. But, the sound quality was horrible. Tinny, with an echo. I contacted customer service, and they recommended I not use a wireless connection. Well that wasn't the problem. So I submitted a ticket and got no recommendations from Voipgo technical support on how to improve the sound. Then I realized that the soft phone available for download on the Voipgo site was the X-Lite 3...there is an X-Lite 4 now. So I downloaded that and everything is great. So I contacted online help and told them what I did and they credited me 5 dollars for being helpful. Online help is available most of the time, the price is a very reasonable 17.95 a month for unlimited incoming/outoing calls, and if you're on both lines the third call coming in will ring busy. (Busy signal is cheesy sounding but not a big deal.) I needed a busy signal for my business which is why I chose Voipgo and I am glad I did.
I have been a voipgo customer for almost 2 years, and the service has worked very well. I only emailed customer service once last year, about a credit that hadn't been applied, and never heard back. Given the previous reviews, I was expecting my phone to suddenly stop working one day and it hasn't.. I emailed sales yesterday and heard back in 24 hours. They have the best selection of features, flexibility, number availability and price. My annual contract is coming up... should I stay ... or should I go ??
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 ...
