Leaving 8x8?

What customers who switched tell us.

The three things businesses arriving from 8x8 mention most:

Paying for global they never dial

Multi-country calling is the headline feature, but most arrivals’ calls never leave the tri-state area. Our plans are built around US calling, priced accordingly.

Support across time zones

Web-first support that follows the sun means explaining the problem again to each new region. 611 lands on one Long Island team that already knows your system.

Enterprise process, small-business patience

Portals and provisioning flows built for global IT departments are a lot when you just want the front-desk phone fixed. We show up, fix it, and you get back to work.
