First, their cancellation process is unnecessarily complicated. They require you to submit a reason online, generate a case number, and then call in to actually cancel. Even after doing all that, I had to go through multiple automated prompts before finally reaching someone who could help. By the time I got through, our phone number had already been ported to another provider, meaning Grasshopper was no longer providing any service. Despite that, they continued to charge us. When I asked for a refund for the months we were not using the service, I was told the representative “did not have the option” to issue one. So not only were we billed for a service we weren’t using, but there was also no resolution offered. This process feels intentionally difficult and not customer-friendly. If a number is ported out, the account should be automatically canceled, or at the very least, billing should stop. Overall, very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this service. Pros Service was basic and poor. So, we decided to transfer it to QUO, who has a better app, settings, options and also use of AI (instead of voice mail) for handling calls outside business hours. Cons Service was basic and poor. So, we decided to transfer it to QUO, who has a better app, settings, options and also use of AI (instead of voice mail) for handling call outside business hours. Alternatives considered [Quo](https://www.capterra.com/p/199031/OpenPhone/) Reasons for choosing Grasshopper Better product. Better features, call handled by AI outside business hours.

Did not like the setup for your phone number and no refund for cancellation Pros Thought it was the price for a quality service but I was wrong. I should not be receiving calls from other businesses.

Its easy to work with and it easy to navigate. Customer service is easy to reach as well. Pros Its quick to use and facilitate. Calls go immediately to my phone number which allows me to answer quickly. Cons I created a new extension however they were receiving calls from other extensions which caused a disruption in their day to day.

EK Erin K. cos Management Consulting ### "Growing with Grasshopper" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 November 11, 2025 Overall, my experience using Grasshopper has been very positive. It has made managing business communication simpler and more efficient. Calls come through clearly, voicemail transcription has been helpful, and the app is easy to use. It’s been a great tool for keeping work communication separate and organized without needing a full phone system. Pros I really like how easy Grasshopper makes it to manage business calls and messages from anywhere. The setup was simple, and I appreciate that I can use a dedicated business number without needing extra equipment. It keeps communication organized and professional, whether I’m in the office or on the go. The call quality has also been reliable so far. Cons The only downside I’ve noticed so far is mostly related to small interface preferences. For example, the app icon and overall design feel a bit dated and could be more modern. It doesn’t affect functionality, but visually it could look cleaner. Other than that, I haven’t had any real performance issues to complain about.

Managing Partner Construction ### "Reliable Business Phone System That Keeps Our Team Connected" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 November 11, 2025 Grasshopper has helped streamline communication and reduce missed calls for our contracting team. It feels like having a small business phone system without the big-company overhead. Reliable, professional, and ideal for trades or service-based businesses that need flexibility and solid customer contact tools. Pros Grasshopper has been a great fit for our construction and home improvement business. It gives EmberBuild a professional image with a dedicated business number and call routing that makes sure client calls never get missed, even when we’re on job sites. The voicemail-to-email feature is especially helpful for tracking project inquiries and scheduling follow-ups quickly. Cons The only drawback is a small learning curve when setting up custom greetings and voicemail flows. Once configured, it’s smooth, but a more visual setup tool would make it even easier. Alternatives considered [Quo](https://www.capterra.com/p/199031/OpenPhone/) Reasons for choosing Grasshopper I chose Grasshopper because it offered the best balance of affordability, strong customer reviews, and simple setup for a small business like ours.

I wish that I had gotten more than one extension for the money. This essay has too many word requirements. Pros Most of the spam I got from the website phone number just gives up. 95% is not even local. They just hang up as it's a robocall. Cons I wish the basic service had more than one extension. Then the juice would be worth the squeeze. Yu know?

I just wish a few things can get changed. But the fact I can send text messages from my work line is a huge plus. Pros I love that I can use this on my cell phone. (Who wants to carry around two cell phones?) I can send text messages from my computer. Take screen grabs and move over to my client files for the COA. Cons The web interface is very poor. I wish it were a cleaner look and feel. When I get calls and answer them, it takes 20-30 seconds for my phone to hijack the call. Alternatives considered [Google Voice](https://www.capterra.com/p/210592/Voice/) Reasons for choosing Grasshopper Price was the biggest factor and that I can use on my computer.

I enjoy using it! Pros I’ve been using Grasshopper for 2 years now and it’s been amazing! The app is super easy to navigate and unlike others it actually works!! Cons It is a bit more expensive than others but being able to pay annually helps. Otherwise, I haven’t had any issues with it.
