Sideline is a cloud-based business phone system designed for entrepreneurs, remote workers, and more.
Any business looking to simplify their communications. Any reseller looking for a fully customizable interface and any residential looking for a good, affordable, and reliable home phone service.
I love that Sideline works just like my regular cell phone number. It's easy to use and you can text too, which is a plus.
The messages that get from SIDELINE are confusing me with perceived missed calls and or messages from prospective clients.
What I like most about Sideline is the ability to have an alternate phone number right on my current mobile device that I use strictly for my business.
I bought a new phone and had to transfer my app. I was unable to sign in, had multiple errors.
I liked having two lines while carrying one cellphone. I liked it being anonymous to the party I was making business with.
But right now, there is a major problem - Sideline signed me out of my app. I didn't know it, I received no notice of it.
I like how I can customize so many features. Everything from voicemail greetings, to text message signatures.
My business number is with sideline so we need to stay, but the issues with the app and customer service make it an awful experience.
Customer support at every level is outstanding. Sound quality and uptime are best possible.
We experienced a prolonged service interruption spanning multiple days. This unforeseen downtime had significant repercussions, impacting our operations and causing considerable inconvenience.
Customer service is very responsive, the quality of the call routing, and the reliability of the system has always been great. There’s a lot of feature and flexibility available for configuration.
Poor SMS app and problem with short code SMS. Also I'm using groundwire for mobile app and always problems with it on various phones.
Service has been great for many many years, customer service has always been responsive, price is fair and service, reliable. This is my trusted VOIP provider.
Reports online of fraud callers using account balance, some on otherwise unused sub-accounts, so not a local leak.
Easy to use, reliable and great quality. Used on several projects and always had good experience with the serviceLow prices and tons of features.
As of 2019, it is really painful. VOIP servers have issues regularly and the technical support will blame you every time without even looking until VOIP release a official server issue.
Ross A: Hi, I'm Ross. I'm the owner of the business. I give Sideline a five out of five. If you want to get more reviews like this, click the link below. Before Sideline, I was using my landline through Comcast, and I switched to Sideline because it had way more features. It was one eighth of the price and I was also able to have it... answer remotely through my cell phone anytime I needed it. I didn't have to just be tied to the spot. I chose Sideline because it had all of the features I was looking for, call waiting, forward to voicemail, text to voicemail. I could manage the greetings, I could have different times for when I was in class versus when the school was closed. It just gave me all the features that I had in my previous, plus about 10 more, without it costing anything extra. Setting Sideline up was very easy. It was basically just plugging in my phone number. They did most of the setup on the back end. I had to go in and record my greetings and set up my text, my auto text messages. Sideline has been great. I've been using it for about four years now. In the entire four years, I've only had maybe one or two dropped calls, and that was probably more of a network thing than them. The program works flawlessly. It's very inexpensive. It has lots and lots of features. I couldn't recommend them enough. I have been approached by multiple other platforms, and checking them out they don't come close to the features and the pricing.
Daniel: Hi, I'm Daniel. I'm a business owner. And I give VoIP.ms five out of five. Click video to see my review. So before I went to VoIP.ms I was using the regular phone systems. And they were quite expensive, especially for the long-distance calls. Then I heard about voice-over IP things, and I kept looking and a lot of them were quite complex. And then I found about VoIP.ms. And their explanation are so clear, so simple. The setup is simple. It's very, very cheap in terms of cost for the system and it's super reliable. And that's what I was looking for. So I chose VoIP.ms because they're super simple to set up and their review were great in terms of stability. And that's what I was really looking for. And in reality, they are super stable and reliable. So I'm really, really happy with that. Creating the account with VoIP.ms is super easy, super simple. The interface is quite straightforward. When it comes to set it up with your actual hardware, that's a bit more complex because obviously, all the hardware are different. But they have a very, very comprehensive Wiki. So you just need to look up what type of hardware you purchased to connect with their voiceover IP service. And then you just follow the step by step and set it up. And they even have very, very neat tips for all the weird things that you can get like at night ring bells that are just fluke over the network and they tell you exactly how to fix that. So it was really great. So if you're looking for a great voiceover IP provider, I really would recommend using VoIP.ms. Just make sure you do your research on the hardware side that you want to purchase because they don't sell hardware. So it's really, you bring your own hardware company. So look up how many ports you need, what types of services you want to have over IP because they have all the services. They have the phone, they have the fax, they have the SMS over IP. So just look up the hardware that you really need. And for the rest, just create your account. It's super easy. And then once you have your account created, you have all the information that you just simply configure into your hardware and that's it. You plug your device and you're done.
