Making the jump from Google Voice to OpenPhone was painless — and that’s not something I say lightly. The setup was smooth, the process made sense, and I was up and running without the usual “where did they hide that setting?” frustration. The pricing hits the sweet spot: it covers almost every feature I actually use and want, without packing in the kind of bloated add-ons you get with bigger services like RingCentral. The real standout is Sona, their AI-powered virtual receptionist. It’s still AI, but it’s miles ahead of a basic voicemail box and gives callers a more professional first impression. The apps work exactly as they should — no glitchy surprises — and the whole system feels like it was built with actual business users in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I only have two wish-list items. First, I like desk phones. OpenPhone doesn’t support them yet, and while I’m fine running everything through the app, having a desk phone option would be a great addition. Second, you pay for every line you have on your account, even if it’s just sitting there unused. Yes, it’s still cheaper than other services that “park” numbers, but I’d prefer a model where you only pay for active lines, like Google Voice. Neither of these is a dealbreaker — far from it — but adding them would take OpenPhone from “excellent” to “perfect for my needs.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
