About

Cloud IP PBX provides customers the features of a premised-based PBX without the huge capital expense. Better still, Cloud IP PBX also provides unified messaging, sequential and simultaneous calling. Users will have access to web portals, so they can manager their accounts anywhere Internet access is available. Never again will your employees miss a critical phone call because they walked away from their desk or while traveling. Cloud IP PBX is a cost effective solution for a business of any size. With First Communications, you are assured of having a state-of-the-art platform, without the incremental expense. Your telephone service is your vital connection to your customers, remote and mobile employees, partners, and suppliers. Phone technology has changed more slowly than other communications technology, but now is a great time to look at SIP Trunking technology, which delivers more capabilities at a significantly lower cost than traditional phone services.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The phones work. If all you need is to make a phone call then this service will work for you. If you need help with the service, you will be frustrated. In summary, there is no, "we care" at FirstComm.

Cons

  • Poor customer support is the 1st issue. After the initial setup, it is difficult to find support. The fee is higher than comparable service and regardless of how long you have been a customer, if you don't cancel service in a narrow window if time you either have to stay another year or pay a ridiculous penalty.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Great experience; I always use Intermedia Unite for my customer support job. It makes my job easier to communicate with customers and the team.
  • The call quality is now clear and crisp, and the system has become very reliable. We experience very little downtime and have had very few issues with the service. We have also seen a noticeable improvement in call quality since we first became a customer in 2023.
  • I really appreciate the support the technician gave me. She is very knowledgeable, and I am grateful for her patience and help. Thank you!
  • We rarely ever have any issues with their business. If I do get an outage notification, it's resolved before I ever have any concerns. Or most of the time, it's a notice when we are out of the office. Tara is very efficient and puts our phones with Holiday messages exactly when asked! We've been very pleased.
  • Clear and reliable voice communications. Prompt customer service if problems arise. Very reasonable cost.
  • Very simply and easy to use. We don't need to have dry runs with new presenters because it's so easy for them, even first time.
  • Intermedia has a very stable and reliable product. There are a number of features that have been added over the years that make the product continue to grow and improve.
  • Ease of use and customer service. Intermedia seems to be very thorough and detailed. We appreciate the attention to detail.
  • Seemless transition from desktop (hard) phone to the app. Emails are sent as soon as messages are received. Customer service is excellent when needed.
  • Everything! Easy to use. Can use same system in two different offices. The technical support is amazing. The Administrative support is very professional and nice.
