- ★★★ Which is the best VoIP service for your business? Google Voice, Grasshopper, RingCentral or Phone.com? Links & resources are below!
#1 Grasshopper (Best for 1-5 Users) ➡️ thebizbud.co/grasshopper
#2 RingCentral (Best for 5+ Users) ➡️ thebizbud.co/ringcentral
#3 Phone.com (5+ Users w/less features & cost of RingCentral) ➡️ thebizbud.co/phone
I put these in order of who I think would be the most advantageous for most users. I left Google Voice off the list due largely to issues with spam. For smaller businesses Grasshopper is usually going to make the most sense but if you need more functionality RingCentral is the way to go due to all of its integration partners... it acts more like a CRM that also provides phone services.

This was a fantastic presentation. Thank you for tossing in scientific reasoning to support different features, such as explaning cognitive load. Grasshopper seems to be the way to go for me, I appreciate you shortening my research time significantly.

This is a great analysis, thanks!
Excellent job! 👍👍
Hi, heads up, grasshopper doesn't offer their services in Puerto Rico. PR is part of USA. The rest of competitors like Ring Central, Intermedia, Vonage, Google etc offer services in the Island. Customers in grasshopper need to incur in charges when the rest of the competitors offered FREE. Google even offer numbers in several international countries without charging extra, that is very convenient for companies doing business internationally. Thanks!
Which one will I be able to make phone calls with it's own personal number rather than one from my mobile phone?
@@nickmiles9412 all of them dude. You get your own number
Thank you, this a great information
You did a terrific job of presenting this information and it was very helpful!!
Thank you for the kind words!
So helpful, thanks
Very useful video. Thanks
Awesome video!
Thanks Eric for your insights and suggestions. I’m a startup and solopreneur, when we receive a call or text forwarded to our mobile phone, will the system inform us which Extension the call is from? I’ll use Ext. 1 for the main, Ext. 2 for customer support & Ext.3 for promos. Thanks again for the info and I using your link to sign up for grasshopper & now I’m also a new subscriber 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for this detailed video, I’ve definitely made my choice!
Glad it was helpful!
This video was so helpful! Thank you so much for all your research.

Great review. Tried to use your grasshopper link (above and below the time stamp) to purchase-but it took me to an error page.
Wow. Super!
Trying to focus on the video but I couldn't stop focusing on your eyes! Very Nice!!
Not gonna lie. Immediately screenshot this and sent it to my wife. Thanks for the chuckle.
@@bizbud 😂😂💯💯
great job
You're correct about Google sunsetting projects, HOWEVER
you can ALWAYS PORT your number to a new service.
That goes with any of phone service.
One to grow on! 🌠
Grasshopper's reviews on GooglePlay are currently at 3.7 with lots of users reporting sharp drop in performance lately. If you are still using them, did you notice any changes on your end?
Brilliant
value here, nice job.
Thanks, very helpfull. In my business I constantly use whatsapp. Can I use grasshopper and whatsapp with the same number?
Very helpful video. Thank you for sharing. My question... Grasshopper or Ooma? In my small business (2 emp. 5 volunteers) we are hard-wired with Comcast business. I am moving our call center to another part of the building that doesn't have phone lines which is why I am looking at VOIP services. I am currently looking at Ooma to either keep our current analog handsets or use their wifi handsets to replace our phones... Our call volume is roughly 100 a week in and similar going out. Would appreciate your thoughts
Hi
Hello. How can I use fax through obihai adaptor and google voice ? I can’t find any videos online for proper setup . Thanks very much .
Awesome video.
Thank you!
What is the best VOIP service for a home phone? Thank you.
Ring Central's minute limit only applies to incoming 1-800 calls. Just FYI, otherwise there is no limit.
Thank you. Which of these have the option for customers to press 1 for my system to send them my custom link to download an app?
Thanks 😊
No problem 😊
I've had Google voice for 15 years. I am happy happy to pay for it, I don't have to because they won't charge. But if they ever do I'm happy to pay for it. I have not had the spamming that you have had so unfortunate for you and everyone has a unique experience. Thank you for sharing. However the biggest feature that I find that Google voice provides me that I cannot find any other provider is when calls come in I can group them and give them different voicemail messages. If you have another service that has this feature I would appreciate a follow-up video or reply to the comment so that I could check out that other service should I fear that Google voice is going away. But again Google if you're reading this happy to pay for Google voice just send me a bill.
I like the way you did this video prower od deduction is something i do for everyday choices lol
It’s huge for making a decision. Analysis paralysis can be the death of you.
Google has a paid version for their phone service and you can always port your number out to another provider.
Which one will I be able to make phone calls with it's own personal number rather than one from my mobile phone?
If I were to use grasshopper will it recognized as a legitimate phone number compared to Google voice? I've tried using my Google voice number in grant applications or bank information and companies often refuse the number.
Hey man, I tried to use your grasshopper affiliate link to give you credit. It is a broken link. Thanks for the review anyway!!
Love the video. I'm running into a problem. Although my business is in the US, I recently moved and am working remotely from Jamaica. All these services are responding the same way. "this service is currently not available in your country". I can't seem to find a way around this. If I have a relative set up my account for me in the US, will I be able to log in and use the service while I'm here?
You can do that, and that would work possibly but I would recommend getting a VPN with a good ISP provider in Jamaica therefore you can set your vpn to be in the United States
Thanks man very good video, I think I'll take grasshopper
Hi!! I am interested in Grasshopper but heard it’s hard to know if calls coming in on your phone are from Grasshopper or personal calls. Is this true? Is there a work around?
Under rated channel. Keep going
Can you port a number from one VOIP service to another if you later decide to switch VOIP providers?
If I get number through grasshopper and something happens to grasshopper will I lose those numbers or will I still own those numbers and I can just go to a different company?
On Google Voice, from a laptop, I can hear the other end just fine, but several have told me my voice sounds very distored. I called my cell, and it definitely is.
My advice. Move away from Google. It tracks everything. Your email content, voice content, search content........
Nice video, quick question. Does Grasshopper offer you an option where you can determine if the call is coming in as a business call from your 800 number or not. Meaning, if you are on your cell. How can you determine if it's a person calling your 800 number or your local cell number?
Bc it is ringing on the app
Informative. Best at 1.5x speed
What are your thoughts on Godaddy's Smartline service?
Question, I'm building a website and I really don't want to leave my personal number on there. (For the contact info) What service should I use, If I only want to use a 1-800 number to show for the contact info and when they call it, it will forward the call to my cellphone?? So that I'll get the call without having to leave my number there?? I only need this to receive calls from people trying to contact me from the website, nothing more. Any idea?
we are looking to switch from grasshopper because 1/3 of all calls the customer cant hear me and i have to call them twice, if i leave a message i have no idea they arent getting it, grasshopped wont help me, stay away from grasshopper.
The auto text message feature only works when a call comes in from a NEW number. If a call comes in from a repeat caller, they will NOT get the text message again, it will go to voicemail if no one answers.
Which os by design. Because the whole point is you dont WANT them to know it is automated! If they got that over and over then umm I believe they’d notice!!
What happens with the automated text message if your caller is using a landline?
Can you use a debit card for setup payment for grasshopper? It's declining my debit cards. Is it implying that only a credit card can be used?
Yes. I get the movie phone reference lol
looks like there is no more limit on minutes. Does this change your review or recommendation?
this was super helpful . Subscribing!!!
Hello is Grasshopper the only on that has instance response? Can Grasshopper be used with a VoIP Phone?
RingCentral has everything grasshopper has and more but you’re just going to pay a lot more for the service. Grasshopper from my
Understanding can be used with a voip phone if it plugs into your desktop. As grasshopper is either used on your cell or desktop application that would pair with a voip phone.
You can block any of the spam calls with Google voice.
I was using proton VPN the other day when I was out and about and received a message "This server does not accept peer to peer connections".
Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting that will let me through the server without seeing me?
So what about a single person? I'm an Esthetician (facial & waxing) & like the idea of a seperate number for my business plus an instant text response. should I look into just Google Voice then?
You can try that route but the things I don’t like are the amount of spam calls on google voice numbers along with the inability to easily setup call forwarding and instant response via text that grasshopper comes with.
If you can swing the $24 a month I think grasshopper is worth it.
@@bizbud I so appreciate your opinion 😁
Can I just call and recieve calls with just the app? I dont want to forward it to my actual number.
How is Grasshopper for dealing with Spam calls?
Which app is best for german number for personal.use
My cousin Vinny's got the perfect jam study. I'll take the breakfast.
What about the paid version of Google voice fun gsuite? Clearly not going anywhere anytime soon.
What about 8x8 where does that rank?
Do any of the virtual services record conversation with the clients? Do you know of any?
RingCentral does. Depends on the package you choose. The second level package allows it but it’s not automatic. You have to select each call I believe. If you get their third level package it is automatic.
@@bizbud ok thanks
so does Dialpad, it records conversations exceptionally well
@@sharifiaa13 is that an app or phone service? I'll look it up thank you as well.
Can we text to customer on grasshopper???
Grasshopper is not available in Australia :(
What is the best suited available here ?
Do any of these allow whatsapp alongside it please?
