Customer Service was very patient with me when I wanted to change to VoIP I had a dozen questions about the technology and how to get set up. They were able to answer my questions in laymens terms and made it simple. I was hesitate to change but it was easy.
I like being able to talk as much as I want and not worry about my bill. I have been very pleased with the quality of the phone AND I love the name "TinCanTalk" :)
Ruth says: I am pleased with the performance of VOIP from Tin Can Talk. They know what they are doing and fixed the start-up problems immediately. That was over a year ago, and no problems since then.
It was a pleasure to know I was dealing with someone based in the USA.
Using voip as our business phone in conjunction with the service provided by TinCanTalk is shaping a new future for us. Outstanding options, great customer service and a new venue for client contact and our availability where ever or when ever. A great tool for opening new doors to success.
TinCanTalk is very customer service oriented and so easy to work with. The owners/providers excel in their ability to provide a great product and problem solve any real or perceived challenge of the user. I highly recommend TinCanTalk.
Fifty dollars less per month than comparable features from Bellsouth landline. Fast, personal American support is outstanding. VOIP performance equivalent to Vonage et al but the customer support sets this company apart.
George says: Sound quality is good, access to Tincantalk is easy, customer service is local and fixed my problems very quickly every time I needed help.

This place works well where skype was un-usable. This email cus. service. AWESOME PRODUCT! Really hate to tell you how good they are then everyone WOULD abd SHOULD try them.
I've been a faithful Vonage customer for nearly 2 years, but with no innovation and the rates increasing with taxes, it was time for a change. I found Callcentric through various reviews and completely concur with most people's opinions. The customer support, although email only has been incredibly fast and always helpful. The pricing tiers are fair, although can be confusing to anyone new.
This is not one of the best service plans out there in the market for VoIP. With this service you have to pay for unlimited outgoing calls(19.99/mon)and unlimited incoming calls with is an extra 19.99/mon. They also have other plans where you can just pay for however many mins you expect to use for the month. I figure this service is not good on your pockets if you are looking to save money for regular features which are in any modern day phone packages anyway. If you are looking for a limited package deal this would be a good plan, but most people are looking for unlimited. This company will have you paying big time for unlimited service. That is like $40.00/mon just for those two features. Not going with this service plan saves me a lot of money in the first place lol.
Excellent customer service, good sound quality, good price.
View all Callcentric plans

4. Great online management tools
5. Free option to try service out without investing a lot or a long term contract.
6. Good reliabilty and call quality so far.
7. Great web site and online support
I've read reviews here and decided to settle on callcentric as it was bring your own equipment, relatively low cost rates and ratings were relatively good. I have been using the service for almost 6 months and i give it 5 stars across the board, didn't experience any problems other than a few with my equipment but that was the fault of my hardware not the callcentric. Service works relatively well with my Linksys SPA2102 with fax and regular phone hooked up to it though you need to play around with fax settings a bit to get at right settings.
Not happy with service. Ok, I'm mostly unhappy with voipreview.org, but I guess it is my fault for not researching more about Callcentric. The price doesn't seem too bad, ... until you find out that you don't get a phone number with their "unlimited" plan. Yes, I *am* new to VOIP, but shouldn't that be noted somewhere on the voipreview.org phone service plan information web page?
Callcentric should certainly explicitly state this.
As for the sound quality, it is less than what I expected, but I am probably more demanding that most--yes I have a solid connection with plenty of upload and nothing else going on during sub-par voice quality calls.
I put $5 into my account for a try and made a few calls. I download the software and called from my Laptop. The sound quality is terrible.
It has been just over an hour since I got my line. Took less than 5 minutes to setup. And the price is great ! Just $0!! Pay per use price - 2 cents a minute.
All connections went through and the quality is excellent.
this is my 3rd voip provider in 4 years and far it has been the best!! Ive had Verizon;unreliable and costly, then I tried Sunrocket;out of business, and now with CallCentric i get EASY to use service, setup was a breeze, worked right out of the box! Support returns e-mail questions, and the pricing options are great!! This is the service to get HANDS DOWN. You can e-mail me directly if you have any questions.
Thx
Hyperdog Digital offers residential and business VoIP plans to best accommodate your communication needs. For low monthly fees and unbeatable deals, Hyperdog Digital provides customers with a wide variety of plans.
I run a small business out of my home and I got this to use as my business phone and it has been a dream! Highly recommend!
Great service. Set up in minutes and haven't had a problem since. Talked to sales through email and they were very responsive. I've already referred two friends and hope to get a few more on.
I probably asked them about a million questions and they answered all of them without pressuring me. I probably sent about 15 emails with new questions as I came up with them...probably driving them crazy. Their technical support guys were just as helpful. Service is probably the most important thing to me, and they went above and beyond for me.
I signed up with HyperDog Digital on the suggestion of a friend. It was a little difficult to get in touch with someone from sales, but they answered email very fast and answered all my questions. I tried a call in to support and got through right away. I've been through a few different VOIPs and most don't even respond to you.
Other than that the adapter worked great and setup very fast. Call quality is good and I haven't had any drops.
I actually bought this for my son who was heading out for school across country. He's been using it for a couple weeks now and it's great! Sounds really good and he said it was really easy to setup and get going. We have a big family here and it's good to still be able to talk to him on a local number without racking up the phone bill. We were so pleased we signed up for it ourselves and now use it out of our home as well.
After SunRocket I got passed off to Teleband and that was a joke. I've been with HyperDog since then and I am glad I found them. Great service, great sound quality, and the prices aren't bad either!
I have been cut off by SunRocket, Hosed by ViaTalk and Voip.com.
Finally found a company that answers their phone, works to give you support and service, calls you back to make sure they get it right
I've been with these guys for awhile now and have been trying to get friends and coworkers to sign up as well. Each person that I was able to sign up actually gets me money back. I didn't think it would actually work but i got enough people signed up that it's basically paying for my monthly bill now! Can't beat that!
I'm not technical by any means but a friend of mine recently bought into VOIP Phone service and is very happy. After doing some research myself I decided to go with HyperDog Digital. I sent over a load of questions through and they answered them all very quickly. I'm really surprised at the quality of broadband phone is...it sounds just like my regular land line. I was hesitant at first but I am glad I made the switch. I'm not sure if all VOIPs are as good as HyperDog Digital but I am very happey with them!
I signed up for HyperDog about a month ago and couldn't be happier. I wanted to wait a good month before deciding how I liked it. Service and quality have been great and I think this is a great VOIP for anyone looking to go broadband for their phone service!
magicJack is an extremely cheap VoIP provider that works by using your existing Internet connection to make and receive calls. magicJack provides a plug-and-play device (like a USB drive) that you can connect to your computer or high-speed modem to start making local and long-distance calls. You can use magicJack for as little as $19.95/year per line.
Have had the magicJackPlus device for almost a year. After a few months I often had to disconnect the device from power adapter and router in order for it do respond when dialing out on the phone. Person on other end of a call complains of terrible echo. Got worse and worse. Now device does not respond to dialing on the phone and person on other end can't hear me. After waiting for 30 mins I finally could start a support chat with "Jerry". After a lot of back and forth he wanted me to do a speed test! We had already established that using the magicJack app on the computer worked fine. If you want to use magicJackPlus with a phone, don't get it! Finn
I've been a customer of this company for years. After I got recommended to buy a new device, I decided to put some money for a better product, I've received the device but had an issue to make it work. I call the number on the booklet provided but was told that I need to pay additional money to get help to troubleshoot the problem. The guy who called himself John refused to my request to speak to the manager. He was rude and unwilling to help. After minutes of useless talk I talked to someone who pretended to be his manager by name Brain with exactly the same voice and accent and same treatment. The call ended with no result. I feel very angry for the way this company treated me being their customers for many years. This absolutely unacceptable.
This company is horrible to deal with, nothing like they used to be. I signed up for Concierge service, $14.99+tax ($17.33) )which entitled me to a replacement adapter for $17.95+shipping & tax. They shipped an adapter and charged me 39.95+shipping, tax and administration fee.( $55.43) That is supposed to include a year service that they don't give me until my remaining 1 year 2 months is expired. I'm sure in November of 2020 they will do that! So, I'm on the hook for a total of $72.76 for something that should have cost me about $25 with the shipping and tax. As soon as I got the email with the prices on it, I tried to call. Was on hold for 2 hours and they cut me off. After 3 more holding calls, the girl told me that I didn't call sooner after receiving the email. Stay away from this MagicJack!!!!!!
where can I start , just to let you know i am so frustrated I decided to create a website just for people who had to deal with this crazy company when they first started I bought one and even advised some of my friends to buy it , I stopped using it after one year and when i decided to buy another one recently despite all the negative reviews I had to pay the price of not trusting customers . I ordered the 30 days free trial to see how the device is now , the same day I decided after reading more reviews to not buy magic jack it s not like we dont have any other options now , I called , I had to select new customer otherwise nobody answers if you select existing customer trust me . I asked them to cancel the order and they said they cant and they will try , after few days i received magicjack , i decided to keep it since nobody answered again , device stopped working after 4 minutes , no lights on , called back they said if you want the device you have to pay a new one even the device is still under warranty of 1 month , I had the device for one day . the other option was to return the device and pay the shipment and hopw they will get it before the 30 days or they are going to charge you 66 $ . they were rude and useless on the phone if you are lucky enough to get someone on the phone
This product is awful!! Save your money. I have bought this device a few times over the last 10 years and you would think they could get it right by now but, it’s get worse. 1. Sound quality is awe full 2. Drops in and out all the time 3. If anything on your phone goes off like an alarm or a message, it goes to automatically out the caller on hold and you can’t get them back! You guy should be ashamed for charge people this type of money and producing a horrible product! Run Forest RUN!!!!
Awful service. We got the MagicJack and the texting did not work on the app. We returned it and there was a problem with the Canadian mail, so it was returned back to us. We spoke to the customer representative and they said they would refund us, so we returned it. Then they would not give us our money back. We sat on hold for hours, literally hours and they would not connect us to a manager to speak with. If they say they have recordings of our conversations, then they should be able to hear THEIR customer representative saying that they would refund us. Terrible company. Texting does not work. Terrible service. Do not waste a moment of your precious time. If I could give 0 stars, I would.
While the service is O.K. when it works, my problem is with billing. In February 2019, I renewed with a three year subscription for my older sister. In July, she received an email saying her subscription was ending, then cam the cut off. I renewed again for one year, Then I went to her email on an account set up just for Magic Jack. There was the thank you for the three year subscription AND the reminder to renew, plus another thanking us for the one year subscription. This happened to me earlier on my account,but I thought I must have been mistaken on the date. Now I know this is a grubby unethical regular practice on the part of Magic Jack. I am turning this over to California Consumer protection. I would recommend anyone else with this issue do the same.
When the service works OK, technically, life is good. If you have any issue, you'll not get any serious support from their customer service. Lots of promises, slightly condescending tone but no real service or ethics. I requested porting of a phone number. They said it was completed but, calling that number from land line would still ring on the my old cell phone, with the current service provider, for which I was still paying service. If the transfer had been successful, the provider account would have been closed. I paid for service on that old cell phone for 4 months, arguing with MagicJack that the transfer was not completed. They would force me to uninstall Android app and reinstall, while I'm explaining that it's still ringing at the old provider. They did that 3 times and then I ask for reimbursement. They said they cannot reimburse because it's more than 30 days!! They would escalate to manager which said that the transfer was complete. I can my cell service with previous provider and then called MagicJack to close/cancel my account, which cannot be done. You have to wait until it expires (and makes sure it's not set to auto-renew). Sucks!!
Have been using MagicJack the traditional way plugging it into the USB power adapter connected to a land line and router for over 10 years. The price is cheaper than traditional service $74.03 per year including the Canadian phone #. I was even using a second MagicJackGO for about 5 years. I got an email from MagicJack one month prior to my service ending asking me to renew my Canadian phone # and service. I just assumed that they would charge me when my current subscription ended but they charged my credit card and added a year prior to the end of my service. My needs have changed and I wanted to connect to the MagicJack using a USB headset. MagicJack supports this feature. Instead of plugging the MagicJack into a USB charger it's plugged into a computer. First off I noticed neither of my 2 Macs would detect the MagicJackGO. On both My Windows 10 PCs the mic input is 2% with both MagicJack dialler and the PCs mic set for maximum. I spent 3 hours chatting with MagicJack Support. They weren’t helpful and not knowledgable ie: one Support guy asked me if I disconnected the USB power cable from the MagicJack while plugged into the PC? MagicJack only has one USB port. I kept hinting that the issue was a defective MagicJack but they would have none of that. Two Tech Support reps just ended the chat without explanation. The next day I found my MagicJackPlus and asked Tech Support to activate it and transfer my months onto it so I could test the service. She did this for me and I confirmed that MagicJackPLUS was detected on my Macs and the sound was louder on the PCs. I wanted to get a new MagicJackGO because it’s a newer device but they wanted to charge me $34 + delivery for this. I decided that it was a better value to buy a MagicJackGO with 12 year subscription for $49. I told MagicJack Billing that I bought a MagicJack with 12 month subscription and to cancel my 1 year with them. They told me it was over 24 hrs since I purchased the subscription so they couldn’t refund me. I brought up the point that my subscription was 4 weeks prior to expiring and that they should not have charged my card. Billing spoke to a Manager and said they would refund me. I got any email from MagicJack Billing Team the next day: Thank you for contacting magicJack. This is a follow up email regarding your call on June 03, 2019. Please be advised that we cannot process refund for order number Txxxxxxxxx since we have already transferred the subscription from your magicJack Go device with serial number A1132001131E60 to magicJack Plus device with serial number Axxxxxxxxxxxxx as per your request on June 02, 2019. This is extremely disingenuous. They could easily reactive my MagicJackGO (like Tech Support activated my MagicJackPLUS) and I could go into my MagicJack account and move the 12 out of 13 months of service so they could cancel and refund me but they won’t because they don’t want to refund me. The company has a very bad reputation for a good reason and I would not recommend their service.
You may find on YouTube a fix for incoming call issue is to use high Amp AC to DC Adopter. Or you might have got impressed when you called magicJack Tech Support and they asked you to unplug and plug the device again and boom it started working. These are all temporary fix; unplug and plug again the magicJack to power, change the adopter, unplug and plug again the Ethernet cable from magicJack or from router side, make an outgoing call etc. all would resolve the issue but for few minutes. Not sure if this has been done intentionally to keep signalling burden low on some server(s) but these devices don't seem to keep themselves alive. All troubleshooting efforts result in kind of forcing them to register again with server, like the firmware is lacking in periodic re-registration. I won't recommend anyone to buy these devices and waste money, unless someone wants to keep the service for outgoing call and with an app on smartphone for incoming calls. However app should be running in background helping smartphone to drain the power. With an apk on my Galaxy no issue on incoming calls but the quality of voice is sometime terrible. It's hard to blame internet connectivity now-a-days as throughput is usually enough to cope with VoIP. It's more about QoS and SLA agreed upon. Also you can confirm this with any free app service like duo, whatsapp, signal etc. on the same connection at the same place
