"+1 for Voip.ms. Made the switch from Vonage over 10 years ago. Never looked back."

"Never had to try anything other than voip.ms. Started using it back when my cellular provider wanted $5/month for voicemail and f that."

"Voip.ms has been great for me for over 10 years. Very stable and cheap, except maybe when they had some DDOS attacks 3 years back."

"Pay $0.89 for each phone number, less than a penny per minute for usage..even a few small offices I've installed solutions using VoIP.ms trunks hardly ever go over $7/month."

"VoIP.ms has been good for the over a decade I've been using them."

"And if you’re watching your wallet like a hawk, give Anveo or VoIP.ms a look. They’re affordable without making you fe."

"Check out Ooma Office or Grasshopper for your dad."

"For reducing cost switching to voip service like what i used Ooma could be a great option its much more good in price not like higher price taker"

"It works fine, sometimes there is a bit of an echo, but for 6 bucks month phone vs the 50 plus we were paying, I can deal with that."

"Ooma is a reliable alternative that handles configuration for you."

"Google voice has worked perfectly for my cleaning business"

"Google Voice offers free or cheap calling, making it an excellent option for budget-conscious users."

"I have a subtle feeling this might be a dumb question, but why not google voice? I'm just barely launching a small business and just on my early research it seems easy, reliable, and fairly cheap."

"Use Google voice if it works for your needs - can get an Obi 220 if you want a handset."

"I know there’s a couple VOIP out there, I’ve used Google Voice, Ring Central, & Mighty Call before. They all tend to do/be the same for the most part."
