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 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.
