Take a look at www.freshphone.co.za for home use. It has zero monthly fees but is a self help self provsioned service, really easy to use.

Swichtel - i will always punt them - great business and support

Switchtel - one of the best companies I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

Has anyone tried Voys.co.za or Voyla.co.za

My assessment with voys.co.za, they seem to have pricy rental.

 

[Bionic]

Try connection telecom. We migrated 1 office last year and very happy with their service. Busy with a group VOIP solution now

 

[paulino]

Voys.co.za is R70 monthly and voyla.co.za is R39 monthly with cheaper mobile rates.

What’s your take ?

Happy Freshphone user here

I signed up with voyla.co.za because they provide geographic numbers. If I am not happy, I can port anytime.

With 087 numbers, you can’t port.

Hi Gents/Ladies

Small Office, 4 users. Have been offered an expensive Panasonic Voip PBX installation +- 18k vs a hosted PBX.

Can't I just install a Yealink Cordless DECT Base - Y-W60Bcordless base station and run 4 phones off that?

I have Axxess 50/50Mbs fibre. What solution will be best?

Thanks in advance.

So Freshphone doesn't allow porting more then 1 telephone numbers. I have 2. Freshphone is automatically disqualified. Oh and they don't have telephonic support? Rubbish.

Who else is good that offers to port 2 VOIP numbers?

Are you willing to pay per extension?

Well I’m currently paying per number. I’m on the phone to Switchtel

If you need 3 Hosted Extensions R65 each, minimum unfortunatly.

 

[Looney]

Don't need Hosted Extension. I'm just porting my 2 VOIP lines from Cool Ideas to Switchtel. Its about R45 per line, something like that.

I have 1 line @ Swichtel, never had any issues with them. R45 /mo rental - I have a PAYG line so I just top-up when I need to. Great analytics and support on their site as well

Yeah well I can’t say the same. I’m not that impressed so far. I sent through my porting application yesterday and I still have had no response.
