What Real People Say About Us?

Experience why Voiply has become the top-rated home phone provider, trusted by over 50,000 satisfied customers.

Voiply includes simple step-by-step instructions that get you up and running in under 15 minutes. The amount of time depends on how long it takes you to read and follow the steps. 1. Connect the color coded Ethernet Cable 2. Connect you Telephone Cord 3. Connect the Power Supply 4. Let the Adapter configure itself 5. Make and receive phone calls I was literally less than five minutes from the time I completed connecting the cables until I made my first phone call. There are very few home electronics that are easier to set up and use. The online customer portal is easy to access, provides appropriate tabs, and straight forward use. Very happy with my new home phone setup.

The automated system was helpful. It asked me the same thing too many times which was annoying but got the job done.

The Vioply ordering process was easy. I had no problem with porting my number from a previous provider. Set up was a breeze! All my calls, whether incoming or outgoing have been crystal clear with no dropped calls. My husband and I are very pleased with this service . We have saved quite a bit of money by switching to voiply.

Voiply is an internet based low cost alternative to a land line which we keep because it's the phone my husband will reliably answer and where we get calls from old friends. It has not been without issues, but their service is really good at resolving them. I am happy with their service and will continue to use Voiply. I particularly like that they transcribe voicemails and send them to my email.

We switched to Voiply after our current VOIP provider increased our rates 60% without warning (and we had been with them for over a decade). What a difference! They helped immediately with porting issues then fixed the mobile app so that we could get incoming calls. We were up and running within a day of the port completion. Our previous VOIP provider took days to fix an issue - Voiply fixed problems within minutes of our report. So customer support definitely gets five stars from us! The Voiply price is also more reasonable so that was very helpful. And both the web interface and mobile app were well written (I'm a software consultant/developer). I've added a picture of the Grandstream device that Voiply supplies for free. Besides power, it has inputs for a phone (RJ11) and an ethernet connection (RJ45). It is programmed to get a DHCP address on your internal network so be sure to allot some addressed on your firewall router for DHCP. We are glad that we ported to Voiply - what a difference from our previous supplier.

I went through a handful of VoiP providers. They had the easiest website to maneuver. I recommend Voiply highly. Quick setup and it worked flawlessly in less than a few minutes.
