Overall Satisfaction with 8x8 X Series (Formerly Virtual Office)

We use 8x8 for two companies for all incoming and outgoing calls, starting in early 2015. We have a competitive priced global plan which allows for unlimited calls to approx. 40 countries which is very convenient for our international business.

The company offers several options to set-up calls queues. The service team has always been reachable and attended to any requests during the last five years. As a public company, 8x8 provides us with the confidence that they act in the best interests of all their stakeholders - customers, employees and shareholders.
  • Excellent customer service.
  • Very competitive pricing.
  • Convenient online, internet based phone menu to receive & make calls on computers & phones.
  • Public company status provides customers with added confidence in 8x8's operations.
  • The global unlimited plan could include perhaps countries in the Middle East in the future.
  • The global plan could perhaps include additional mobile phone numbers in certain countries.
  • Otherwise no complaints or ideas for improvement.
  • No lost business since calls are accessible from everywhere.
  • Low costs.
  • Phone expenses are very stable without any surprises.
I evaluated all the main competitive offerings and 8x8 seemed to be the best solution in early 2015.

So far, 8x8 has never disappointed us. We were never interested in any other competitor product since we use 8x8.

8x8 is great to consolidate several different phone numbers for different companies all in one 8x8 set-up.

8x8 is great when you travel since you can receive your calls worldwide.

When you need unlimited calls to many countries, 8x8 is a great solution, having researched many available options.
