   Easy to use, and just what we needed!

   I needed a 1800 number for my business, and paying for a second phone line and getting a second phone is overpriced for what I needed. for 10 bucks a month, OpenPhone allows me to have a 1800 number right on my own cell phone through their app. So my personal calls don't get mixed up with my business calls. The app is easy to use, has a voicemail feature, and call forwarding for when I'm out and don't want to use data.

   👍 Pros:    Easy to use|Cost effective

OpenPhone mentions (11)

• Near a Cheap Alternative to PublicMobile

  I usually use VOIP with openphone.com and use her phone when I am on the go... But now need a phone for something simple and was looking to sign up with Public mobile for the $15 / month my wife had, but NOW ITS GONE!!! Dang those bastards. Source: 12 months ago

• Need a permanent USA virtual phone number or virtual simcard capable of receiving sms when connected to DATA and/or WIFI. As cheap as possible.

  Google voice is free! If you need something with a little more power. Voip.ms, sipharmony.com, and openphone.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• Favorite VOIP service?

  Hey – I'm one of the founders at OpenPhone so obviously biased here. I'm confident OpenPhone is the superior product and experience in every way. Would be happy to talk to you about it directly and show you a demo. Feel free to book a demo here or you can email me - dk at openphone.co. Source: over 2 years ago

• Google Voice alternatives. Recommendations PLEASE

  Oh no, the latest MacOS app is actually supposed to be much better than the web app. If you recall any issues you had specifically, please send me a note to dk @ openphone.co. Source: over 2 years ago

• Trying to move from Grasshopper

  Let me know if you'd be up for it. I'm dk at openphone.co. Source: over 2 years ago

• We No Longer Need a Big Carrier's Wireless Plan. Discount Ones Are the Way

  Not OP, and they said what they use (Red Pocket) but I also pay $5/mo for service from Tello ( https://tello.com/ ). 500MB/mo, data only, calls through Google Voice via data. (100 minutes of voice $1/mo extra.) Lots of choice in building your own plan. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• T-Mobile switching users to more expensive plans unless they call to opt out

  Happy with Tello: https://tello.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Can i recharge/pay again to stay with the same number?

  Https://tello.com/ Unlimited on tello is 25gb of data. Source: 10 months ago

• Best provider for 30 days

  I'm on Mint and happy with it, live in Arlington VA and work in Downtown DC. As of last year you could sign up for Visible for a month and cancel. If you don't need fully unlimited data, i.e. Where you are staying will provide internet, a provider like tello.com might be good where you can customize your minutes and data (US Mobile has similar).

• A country where US calling can legally be charged at $1/minute is a broken country.

  For US calling, if you have a supported phone, you can also sign up for a cheap US provider like Tello and pay $8/month for unlimited US calls and texts on a secondary SIM. Turn on wi-fi calling on the US SIM and make calls using your Canadian data. When you go to the US, add a gig of data for the cost of 2 Rogers US minutes. That's one of many similar US providers discussed in depth here. Source: about 1 year ago
