    Calling abroad to international clients, while we use international number then response rate increases. Also, the client also prefers their country's number to respond. The pricing part is less appropriate. I believe they should be charged only for calling services. The name is also not suitable like what is Hippo means in the name. The person who uses this service is a Hippo?

    Good for any situation where there are multiple employees who need to be reached by customers or in-house. Also cuts down on Robo calls because they typically can't / don't press numbers to choose from a menu. Can't really see this system being worth the price in a smaller-sized operation though, as there are far cheaper options that provide a much nicer management interface.

    Pros
    CallHippo
    • No positive sides at all.

    Comcast Business
    • Makes it easy to send and receive phone calls, setup extensions, and generally handle incoming and outgoing phone calls.
    • You're able to receive business calls wherever you go, whether you're in your office or on your mobile device.
    • The Voicemail to Text feature generally works well enough for you to know what a message is about without having to listen to it.

    • Not a fan of the poly phones
    • I feel if the phones were set up better when installed it would have saved a lot of headache.

    It's the need of my team to perform well and it's increasing the possibility of getting more business. Clients also have more trust while responding when they saw their country's number rather than any other country's unknown number.

    Support Rating
    CallHippo
    Their support is built around trying to prove why the customer (who is not getting the service promised at the price promised) is wrong. For that they pass with flying colors. For actually supporting the user though they are horrible. They come up with creative scenarios to overcharge the credit card while not giving a service.

    All of them. This seemed to be the best until they got us down.

    I have switched now to MagicJack for business, while their support might not be the most amazing either we are very satisfied with the service/cost relationship and this has been a major game-changer. I am certain that Comcast has a larger client base that they have to look for that might be creating much more significant revenue. We have faced similar situations with other vendors and have found better solutions with smaller, shelving solutions that seem to cater more closely to clients.

    • In my experience, you have to pay to get out of contract.
    • In my opinion, it's a total waste of time and money.
