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.

About

Monster VoIP was established to distribute superior voice quality and maximized uptime to customers from here in L.A. to New York to Washington, D.C. to Houston to Dallas to Chicago and beyond, while delivering unparalleled service and customer satisfaction. We started by setting up data centers in Las Vegas, New York, Dallas, and Minnesota to ensure geo-redundancy, with all endpoints multi-registered at all four facilities. (This is just a fancy way of saying that multiple locations means you can expect amazing voice quality and unparalleled business phone uptime.) We then made sure to offer a complete suite of communication tools in one platform. This means you and your team only have to learn our easy-to-use user interface for all of your communication efforts. To make good on our customer satisfaction promise, we then decided to provide personalized setup and ongoing 24/7/365 support to every business VoIP customer that walks through our (virtual) doors.

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 & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Working with their team is amazing. They got us up and running same day. What I found to be different is the personal touch.

Cons

  • I wish the desktop app had more features, but they said they'll be rolling out more in future product updates.
