eVoice – Business Phone Number

I have been looking around at phone services like this. I signed up for an account with ephone on Friday. It’s Sunday now. I logged in to check it out. I went into text messages to try it out. It said text messages was not available and to contact support. I didn’t want to cancel support to active text messaging on a paid phone service! One would think text message would be an option you didn’t have to call and activate! I want to cancel my account. You can’t just cancel your account. You need to contact support (shocking). I did about 2 minutes into the cancel conversation I accidentally closed the chat. I went through all the BS again to get to a chat person. He told me my account was closed. I said I had not received a confirmation email. I waited for them to respond. I said “hello?”. They said that because the chat was closed on the users end, there was no confirmation email sent to me. I asked them if they could resend it. They said that after this current chat ended that there would be an email with our conversations sent to my email address. An hour later, I’m still waiting. It seems like other people have commented on the lack of customer service with this app. I completely agree. I would suggest you go look elsewhere.

I’ve used evoice off and on for a few years switching between this service and an answering service because I have a part time business at night for a holistic practice and a full time career. I have a landline for my practice that forwards to the evoice #. I now have an admin assistant that answers and returns my calls from evoice and that rings on both my cell line and the phone I gave my assistant when I’m working during the day she picks up and when it rings at night Or weekends I answer the calls. I also love the text feature when I want to contact clients without having to use my own cell # so can separate my life from business. I also like how you can record your own message and find music through other tool you can save download and upload to evoice. I have a custom message to give info to callers when we can’t pick up and other details. Yes at times it can be a bit sluggish it but if you delete the app then reinstall it often works and they update their apps at time to improve.

We use evoice as our “front” phone system. It receives all incoming calls and then dispatches them to a receptionist via cell phone or to a “backup receptionist” (Zendesk talk, which is our customer support system). I also use it to manage all my cell phone calls that I am unable to answer or that need to be screened. This is an excellent system for the cost. We do get complaints from callers who say they could “not get through,” which seems to mean that they have to leave a message. However, we are able to handle hundreds of calls per day with this system. The transcriptions of voice mail messages are of fair quality as long as the caller speaks clearly. The call recording feature is wonderful if we ever have to go back and investigate a question. I highly recommend it as a low cost phone system that is feature rich. To give this system a stronger review, I would like to see some kind of real-time display and management screen.
