Overall Satisfaction with Broadvoice

I personally use Broadvoice for all of my business telephone communication needs. My line rings right to my cell anywhere I am, and this was the primary appeal of this service. I particularly appreciate the ability to forward to another line if I need to, and the convenience of the incoming and outbound personal greetings set to my office hours as I set them. This solves the inconvenience of having to have a set office line at one location... the portability is a must have for us.
  • Identifies my caller and gives me the option of saving them as a contact
  • Allows me to forward my calls to another line
  • Gives me clear, consistent reports on my call usage and trends
  • We initially had some difficulties with the response from our very first support rep after we completed our onboarding. I had a few inquiries that were not timely responded to until another rep was assigned to us.
  • The incoming calls show up on my phone as chats as well. I'd love to be able to stop that from happening.
  • Portability
  • Caller ID and ability to save our contacts
  • Dashboard functions that make it easy to modify our usage settings temporarily or permanently, if we need to
  • Allows for better monitoring of call trends
  • Has helped me be able to be mobile and still address my business calls
  • Well priced for the features we need and use the most
We had Broadvoice, changed to Twilio when changing CSM, and found that Twilio was part of the package. In a matter of just a few months, we switched back to Broadvoice. Twilio was awful in every way, from user friendliness to customer support.

Evaluating Broadvoice and Competitors

Yes - Twilio. Most user unfriendly software ever, and customer service even worse.
