OpenPhone vs Vonage

Vonage serves consumers and companies without focusing on either. Say hello to the modern business platform, OpenPhone.

What our customers love since switching

Hundreds of customers shared with us why they moved from Vonage to OpenPhone. Here are a few answers.

"Vonage packed a lot of unnecessary features that most of the time didn’t work. I missed a lot of calls that didn’t come through to my phone. For all the aggravation, Vonage was not worth its hefty price tag — not to mention finding hidden fees on every billing cycle. OpenPhone is so easy to use! I haven’t looked back since."

"After many years with Vonage, I was happy to finally find a modern solution for my business phone needs. OpenPhone's user interface, the ease of setting a new number up, and porting the numbers from other providers made the experience seamless. OpenPhone continues to be a super reliable system. Also, their pricing is extremely affordable for any small business or sole proprietor. Highly recommended!"
