    I stumbled upon VirtualPBX after searching various forums for a quality VoIP service. VirtualPBX came highly recommended by many users and after joining I understand why. Everyone I spoke with before finally deciding to sign up, was extremely helpful, and they gave in depth instructions on what I would need to get started. So far, the call quality has been amazing, the prices were competitive and If you watch the instructional videos/training and take your time to play around with the interface, it will become intuitive. Incentive Offered: This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as a thanks for leaving this review.

      I have had Virtual PBX for many years, about 20+ I think. I have always found it to be reliable and efficient. It follows me everywhere so as long as I have my laptop and my phone, I am "In Business". The Customer service has always been very responsive whenever I have needed assistance. I would highly recommend the service.

      I wanted to share our experience with Virtual PBX Customer Success representative Abigail. Her knowledge and efficiency in helping us transition to a new plan was very apparent. She listened attentively, answered questions patiently and ensured that the plan we selected was the perfect fit for our organization's needs. Abigail's dedication and excellence truly stood out in all of our interactions with her. After having the pleasure of working with her, we are more confident that Virtual PBX genuinely cares about its customers. She is a great asset to your team!

      A representative contacted me and did seem to be playing games, so to speak. However, the next day I was contacted again by another representative who was reasonable and apologetic about the situation. They also made things right issueing my refund promptly. With that being said, I consider the issue resolved and would suggest this company really try to employ more representatives like this last one.

      Original Review: Aug. 15, 2024

      On Jun 5th, I signed with this vendor. The first disappointment came immediately when trying to charge me $100 to set up my SMS and for compliance with their carrier, but after voicing concern about this, they did adjust the price to that of my previous provider. From there started the excessive string of protracted messaging and phone calls where I was advised by their staff when submitting the SMS registration…which failed repeatedly. Each time I was given a different reason as to why there was a rejection and how to proceed, yet it would keep failing. This went on for over two months in which time I was also forced to change my website from purely informational (No Opt-In is required) to eventually adding and redesigning a couple pages so there is an opt-in with all the necessary disclosures.

      At this point, I am told that everything appears to be in place and looked great…but rejected yet again. Then on Aug. 9th, I received a message from the Customer Service Manager stating that their carrier had become “more strict”, that I would need to go review CTIA guidelines, and that they could provide no more assistance. I think this kind of service speaks for itself. This is also due to seemingly clear incompetence by this vendor.

      I was fairly upset by all this as I am still without the service I paid for, not to mention the disruptions that this caused with my business. So, I called the Customer Service Manager to discuss and convey my frustration with everything that had transpired and request a refund with cancellation as I never received what was paid for. He proceeded to be exceedingly rude while telling me flat out “NO” because they had already spent sufficient time working on my account (Doing what they are supposed to be doing?). The experience was utterly exhausting and simply unreasonable. I want a full refund from this vendor for a service that was never fulfilled. After which, close the account.

      We sincerely apologize for the challenges you've encountered, particularly with SMS compliance and your recent interaction with our team. While SMS registration is governed by FCC requirements, we understand your frustration with the process. Although we tried to advocate for your SMS registration, we were unfortunately unable to secure approval. As a result, we have processed a full refund for the service that was not fulfilled. Thanks again for sharing your experience. We remain committed to improving our services and ensuring a positive experience for all our customers.

      I've been using VPBX for over 10 years, mostly as a host for a simple 888 phone number to my business. I had few interactions over those years, most of them good. I have a client who recently who moved into a new office and wanted to switch from POTS to VoIP. I recommended VPBX and proceeded to implement a VoIP solution to a busy office.

      I ordered a number of VoIP phones, which VPBX ship pre-provisioned. None of the phones worked, so I had to call support for each one. VPBX support had trouble fixing and I spent hours (note, their technicians are good). The issue ended up being a DNS problem on their end. This is a simple infrastructure fix someone on their end could do in 10 minutes, Bush league.

      Then one of the 8 phones wasn't working so I called in to RMA. After sitting on the phone for 30 minute then they wanted to run through some troubleshooting...for a $100 VoIP phone. The RMA process should have taken 10 minutes at the most. IMO they are not ready to handle business VoIP (with hardware) services at this time. I won't be using them again, at least not without some serious consideration of alternatives.

      VirtualPBX has incredibly low rates for the quality of service they provide. There is little to no downtime and their tech support is among the best we use. I've recommended them to several customers who were very pleased with the service. With most services, I would be hesitant to recommend to a customer, our reputation could be harmed by bad service. But we don't hesitate with VirtualPBX, they'll impress you too.

      Updated review: Aug. 28, 2018

      I have updated my review to three stars because they were able to resolve the billing issue and I generally have had a good experience for 8 years. However, such an egregious billing update with no discussion / options listed deserves bad review. Decent product, does what we wanted it to do, but very bad experience with pricing policies.

      Original Review: Aug. 16, 2018

      I was a customer for 8 years before the company suddenly increased their prices from roughly $60/month to ~$600/month. We had been using the product simply as a virtual voicemail service and were happy to pay about $750/year for very little. However, this new pricing scheme would amount to making our least important piece of technology (basically a VM spam filter) more expensive than all of our CRM, collaboration tools, and other technology combined. VirtualPBX is terrible... customers BEWARE. Also, if they keep their strong rating here for much longer, I have to believe it is because fully business is happening with the review site because this is simply egregious.

      Hello Jeff ** and/or Billing Department. I just realized that we never received a refund or the refund check that was supposed to be issued once your telephone was sent back. We received confirmation that your office did indeed receive the telephone, was there a problem with the refund? In the beginning they were great until they couldn't solve our problems with our phones so now they won't return any emails or phone calls.

      Hi Clyde,

      We are truly sorry for this inconvenience. I checked with our billing team and it sounds like they reached out to you to confirm the delivery. At this time we are experiencing a short delay with our refund processing times due to the holiday. Please note that we have not forgotten about you. Sending your refund is our top priority come Monday morning. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience. Please don't hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.
