I use CallHippo to call countries not supported by other tools. It uses various numbers as calling ones and voice is clear. It is integrable with Hubspot as well and web version is also trust worthy. It is worth the money spent as other tools in the market are not used in all the countries.

  • Caller Ids

BEWARE CALLHIPPO

I find it incredible that a company like CallHippo would go through this length just to keep 200 bucks of payment from us. We activated our line, PAID FOR IT! Topped up minutes. Went through the post-sales call, did various calls with support. Were confirmed that the onboarding process had finished. And yet it had not. Out of nowhere, after we sent everything to print and changed the number on some licensing paperwork, they freeze our account, and much worst, THEY SHUT OFF OUR NUMBERS!!!!! And yet, no one answers our emails. We have replied 2 times with all the info and yet nothing. This is SOOOOOO wrong I cannot even begin to express how wrong this is. I hope they enjoyed mistreating us like that and that it was worth losing their company's status over 200 dollars! Because we lost ours. Thank you so much Call Hippo!!! As I search google I see many others have the same issues.

CallHippo is useful for us as it provides an official and international calling number with calling fecality. This makes the corporate image better. In my organization, my sales team needs to call clients and leads in foreign countries also we need country-wise no. for our marketing campaign for multiple countries. Also, we can track team-wise calling.
  • International calling make marketing campaign better.
  • International calling number make more likely to entertain by clients.
  • Team calling track at one place.
  • Calling target can be set and measure.
  • Call summary for visualization for future planning.
  • Pricing can be less.
  • Assurance of privacy of calls and data.
  • Integration process.
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?

  • It making a positive impact for number of responses we received from leads.
  • Cost is increased for marketing and sales calling.
  • The team doesn't like to be track and monitor by their seniors.
Its UI and features are better and more detailed. Easy to use. But many things are not that much necessary for my team. But it's better them others in the market.

Sales and marketing. They do cold calling and lead tap via CallHippo.

Only the senior employees are supporting as they have eased to monitor and track the sales team.
  • International calling number.
  • International calling service on mobile.
  • Tracking of team call and performance.
  • There is a suggestion to make it more useful that there should be a higher user role who can decide which features need to assign to the lower team in the hierarchy. Admin can remove the features so that team can easily understand and not get confused with lots of irrelevant features.
  • They were looking for the solutions for international calling no. for various countries and get it here.
  • Pricing can be discounted.
  • Admin can remove the unnecessary features form sales team.
  • Admin can set rewards for achieving the targets and team can redeem those from their portals.
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.

The company promised us a working virtual number and did not deliver and asked for random documents they did not ask for before.

They also charged my credit card for the full year even though we enrolled for a monthly trial. They are saying it was because we used their coupon that worked for their monthly payment. It was a misunderstanding on our side and the result is a full-year charge.

I will be pressing charges in India, the EU, and the USA. Remember, whenever you are not pressing charges for scams and overcharges like this - you are encouraging the company to hurt other people.

For others coming along - DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THEM.
  • No positive sides at all.
  • Hidden charges.
  • Not delivering the basic services promised.
  • No refunds if you are unhappy.
  • Very suspicious modes of operating.
Simple route: There are plenty of other alternatives on this market that offer the same service. They are not even competitive in terms of pricing, please use them and save everyone the headache.

There is not a single scenario you can be happy with this organization who thrive on undeserved payments.

  • We lost a lot of money by using them.
  • We had internal issues due to the hidden fees charged by them.
  • We lost a lot of time when finding a lawyer in India to charge them.
In truth - we did not look into other alternatives as we were lazy. We thought we'd give it a try for a month for a small fee. Little did we know they would set us up to lose 18x the monthly amount.
2
Sales & marketing + executive.
The only skill required is not picking them for what it's worth. The rest is unnecessary information as they are a company that underdelivers and overcharges.
  • We wanted to have a virtual number that would catch incoming calls but they weren't able to provide it.
  • We are learning to leave negative reviews on sites like TrustRadius. We are hiring interns to scour the internet for review sites to try to put a stop for these scam artists.
We don't have to renew for 18 months anyway since they charged our company credit card the annual fee however when the time comes we won't be renewing but you can never be sure since they will charge it anyway without our consent.
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.
We purchased a lot of things and most of them were done by misleading us. I'm sure at the price point we paid (300+USD for one month) we are eligible for premium support.
No
Yes it was exceptional in the manner that they were able to prove themselves right even though it was far from it being the case. The compelling evidence they brought in the form of screenshots worked to clear their conscience.

CallHippo is a comprehensive cloud-based business VoIP solution. It offers enterprise grade phone service, contact centers, customization and more to help companies in almost any industry to optimize their communications. It amazed me that CallHippo thinks about callers and customers with such a deep root. Time Zone feature in dialer lets us know the time zone of the specific country. So, we can decide whether it is right time to call or not.
  • Affordable
  • Great Features
  • Quality Voice
  • Good customer support
  • Waiting for iOS mobile app
CallHippo not only reduced our telephone bills as well as it made our business communication too easy. They make it possible to connect with our clients even while on go. The voice quality is superb and they have great customer support for resolving issues. It's easy to set up the tool at any time on anyone's laptop.
