Pricing<\/h2>\n

Starting with the Basic Plan at $12 a month, it includes 1 toll-free or local number, and 200 text allowance per month. Outgoing calls cost 5 cents per minute- there is no allocation for free calls, which is a bit of downer considering you are already paying to use the service. Nevertheless, this package is good if you need a phone number to direct your customers to, and set improvements for the incoming call process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Next comes the Plus Plan at $24 a month. It offers 1,000 monthly call minutes and text messages, and 2 toll-free or local numbers. If you need more allowance, the Pro Plan ups the ante with 4,000 minutes and text messages per month, and 5 toll-free or local numbers, at $49 a month. Lastly, if you want unlimited minutes and messages, and 25 numbers, then the Unlimited Plan should be a good fit. This one costs $199 a month.<\/p>\n

All of these plans include unlimited extensions, so you can add new users as needed. You can conveniently do this via your account, just click on Add Extensions, enter the necessary information, and hit create. The invitation will then be sent to the person\u2019s number- if they accept, then the extension is ready to accept calls.<\/p>\n

Business-Centered Features<\/h2>\n

The Auto Attendant feature is one of the highlights of their service. It will take care of call management by answering calls and giving a company-standard greeting for a professional introduction, and call routing to ensure that important calls are attended to. You can also set menu options so callers can be prompted to pre-recorded messages, and specific departments and extension numbers.<\/p>\n

You can also record and screen calls, create a conference of up to 5 people, automatically translate voicemails to texts and forward them to your email, receive fax documents which is emailed to you in PDF form, forward calls to international numbers (international rates apply), and call anyone from the US, Canada, and Mexico with the allotted minutes for your subscription. Of course, you can still make calls and texts beyond the allowance, but this will cost 5 cents for each minute and message. Both local and toll fee numbers can now receive text messages, so you can continue responding even when you can\u2019t answer the call. If you want to add numbers to your account outside of the allowance, you can also do so for an additional $1 a month. Now do take note, you can only choose US and Canada numbers- they have yet to expand their offer to include international numbers, but as indicated in their FAQ page, this is already included in their road map, so you can expect them to be available sometime in the future.<\/p>\n

30-day Free Trial<\/h2>\n

If you are still on the fence with Cloud Phone, you can try out their service with no cost for 30 days. Just choose the plan that you like and fill out the form. Now, you may notice that they will ask for your billing information. They will also enter a charge amounting to your chosen plan within the 30 day trial, but don\u2019t panic just yet. It is simply an authorization charge, and will be reversed once you cancel within the 30-day period.<\/p>\n

Customer Service<\/h2>\n

Cloud Phone has an extensive FAQ section where you can learn the nitty gritty of their features. They also have a knowledge base where you can find articles and guides in using their service. Should you need to contact their support team, you can send them an email or submit a ticket request. You can also call them- unfortunately, they have not published their operating hours, so it would be safe to assume that they are only available during business hours.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

Cloud Phone Review 2020 – Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Cloud Phone offers jampacked features when it comes to business communications- their auto attendant gives a warm welcome to callers with a company greeting, then direct them to the intended department; their plans include allowance for texting, and you can add unlimited extensions into your account, meaning the service can accommodate your company\u2019s growth. Their basic plan needs some improvement though, as it does not have any allowance for free outgoing calls. As for phone numbers, they have yet to offer international ones- you can only currently choose numbers from US and Canada. Moreover, your call minute allowance is restricted to these countries and Mexico, meaning other countries will incur fees. Nevertheless, Cloud Phone is specifically designed for a business environment, with features focused on providing a streamlined communication. If you are looking for a VoIP system for your organization, you may want to give them a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
