Jive Communications has been great for me! Once set up, I cut my costs of having one main line, one 800# and one fax in half. With AT&T I was running about $140/month; with Jive my monthly bill is about $60/month. The equipment needed to start this service up (router, handset and wireless handset) cost me about $350, but his was paid back in savings within 5 months. I may invest in a wireless headset soon. If you are not a techie, you may need help setting the system up; I had a business coach help me (making sure that my broadband wireless would support VOIP).
Faxing is all electronic so I keep a real fax machine hooked up to my landline if I want to send a fax the traditional way. I do like not having to print off my faxes in the Jive system and was easily able to have my phone ring automatically to my cell phone so I do not miss many calls while in or out of the office. I have paid for the service with this feature alone. I have only had my phone system go down once in over one year (AT&T was more than this) and I was able to quickly resolve the problem with one phone call.
I highly recommend Jive! Their system has saved me quite a bit of money and I now actually have a better and more flexible communication system working for me!
