Grasshopper Reviews

Grasshopper offers a virtual PBX phone system for entrepreneurs looking for an alternative to a traditional phone line. Grasshopper offers the advanced features and capabilities of an expensive business phone line for an entrepreneurs’ budget. It allows your business to sound like a larger, more professional organization every time you recieve a call.

Grasshopper Features

Every Grasshopper plan comes with one toll-free or local number, unlimited extensions, and a slew of standard features. These features include:

  • Call forwarding allows you to route calls from a single phone number to your cell phone
  • Unlimited call handling means you’ll never miss an important call
  • Free conference calling included on all plans
  • Online account management allows you to make changes to your account on the go
  • Voicemail-to-email: transfers voicemails into mp3 files and sends them to your email. It also includes a text transcription of the voicemail
  • Fax-to-email: transfers faxes into PDF files in your email, so you can read them on the go

Grasshopper plans

  • Solo
  • Partner
  • Small Business

Grasshopper Solo

Solo costs $26 per month and includes all standard features and unlimited minutes. Solo includes 1 phone number and 3 extensions.

Grasshopper Partner

Grasshopper’s most popular plan, Partner, will help your small business grow. It includes all standard features, plus unlimited minutes, 3 phone numbers, and 6 extensions. Grasshopper Partners costs $44 per month.

Grasshopper Small Business

Small Business is Grasshopper’s premium plan. It offers all the standard features, plus unlimited minutes, 5 phone numbers, and unlimited extensions.

More about Grasshopper

Because Grasshopper is a virtual PBX, it only handles incoming calls. Small businesses will need a traditional phone line to handle forwarded and outgoing calls.

Grasshopper doesn't require a contract and promises a 30 day money back guarantee, allowing small businesses to try the service, risk free. Users that want to cancel  need to submit an online support ticket to Grasshopper to start the cancellation process. Once the ticket is received, Grasshopper will make sure the account is closed within 1 business day. Grasshopper runs without hardware, so businesses avoid large up-front investments, too. (You also don't have to return any equipment.)

Grasshopper’s 24/7 live support can be reached at any time about any technical issues.  You can also manage your account online to deal with any problems.

Do not use this company - the company does not disclose all fees, auto renews with no email or reminder, will not refund money for yearly subscription after 30 days. Deceptive and does not show renewal date in your account anywhere. When I asked for the renewal communication they claim they sent, it has not been provided it. When I asked why the renewal terms and date are not posted in my account dashboard, subject was changed. When I asked for a refund, they said they can not refund the $437 they charged me for the year (not the $320 advertised on the solo package with no mention of fees, taxes, and other charges totaling an additional $117). So far they have not made this right. I will be reporting to my state attorney general, BBB, and everywhere I can.

Similar to other services who treat customers better I assume

Grasshopper has been a godsend for our small business. We are just 4 people, and it's an amazing phone system for our needs. Price point can't be beat, and the features and reliability is great.

Integrates with our mobile phones seamlessly. Makes us seem like a larger company than we are. Always works. No downtime.
We haven't ran into any issues yet with Grasshopper.

Grasshopper works extremely well for our company of 6 people. It's low cost and has all the features we need. As we have scaled (although still small) it is really easy to add extra seats and get new users up and running fast.

Low-cost, feature-rich, easy to use, quick setup, scales nicely
