### 1/5 — 👎👎

*2026-06-05, version 6.2.0*

Spend your money on a company that gives you value and doesn’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Was Great…..

*2026-05-28, version 6.2.0*

This was my favorite phone app for my business until they started contracting customer service rep in India. 

The new updates on the app logs you out if you don’t use it in 24 hours which is annoying.

Other than that it is still better than all other apps for a business line

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-05-21, version 6.2.0*

Signed up and couple days later, they suspended the account. When called customer service, they didn’t tell me why!!! Waste of time and money as I ordered new business cards with the number.

### 1/5 — Drops calls like they’re hot

*2026-05-13, version 6.1.0*

Pick up the phone and no one is there. They can hear me but I can’t hear them. Cuts off for no reason and then takes forever to reconnect so I can’t hear call the person back.

### 1/5 — Technical problems are not being addressed

*2026-04-25, version 6.1.0*

Like other users, I experience operational discrepancies with this service. 

There’s a power spike when answering incoming calls which causes the screen to go dark. Support tells me that “the app does not access display functions” and denies responsibility. 

Message notifications do not disappear when msgs (or calls) are read. It’s a little game to tap here and tap there to remove the ‘new msg badge’

Correspondence in the VoIP is delayed (ok, some delay is expected). But when I make a call or receive a  call, I expect to connect with the other party and this just doesn’t happen all of time. This service just isn’t reliable. 

I’m currently looking for another service to port over to because Phone.com doesn’t address the bugs that make their product functional. 

It’s not reliable and is often very frustrating to use.

### 1/5 — The worst phone company on planet earth

*2026-04-02, version 6.1.0*

I try this company for my 5 businesses. Biggest mistake I’ve ever made. Bad communication, bad customer service. I missed many new opportunities and lost existing accounts just because I used this platform. I do not recommend using this platform for any purpose. Wast of time and money.

### 1/5 — Was Great…..

*2025-11-15*

This was my favorite phone app for my business until they started contracting customer service rep in India. 

The new updates on the app logs you out if you don’t use it in 24 hours which is annoying.

### 1/5 — Too Many Problems

*2025-09-25, version 6.1.0*

Highly unreliable. Most calls I make on the app only ring once and automatically disconnect. This has been happening for about a year but is becoming more frequent. Support is extremely unhelpful.

### 2/5 — Unstable app and poorly supported

*2025-09-16, version 6.1.0*

For an app that is supposed to be used for making calls, the random failures to do just that are annoying. I’ve used phone.com for many years and the unreliability is forcing me consider alternative providers. The recent update now requires login and resetting all setting each time I use the app. Online chat support did nothing other than direct me to reinstall the app with the current defective version.

### 5/5 — Perfect for business use!

*2025-09-12, version 6.1.0*

Really impressed with how this app works! Easy to use, clean interface, and perfect for keeping business calls, messages, and faxes organized in one place. The recent update made it run smoother, and I haven’t had any issues with speed or reliability. It’s a great tool for staying connected on the go—highly recommend for anyone running a business or needing a professional phone system!
