Nextiva

Very pleased with our phone service. We were having issues with our last provider. There were days where customers could not reach us and this of course is never good for business or fun to deal with. With Nextiva we have not had any issues and feel confident that we made the right choice switching over. We are loving the features that come with our phone service such as the voicemail to email and all of the auto attendant options. The set up process was a breeze.

Try another VOIP service. Do not waste your time with Nextiva. I subscribed to Nextiva VOIP, Voice Over Internet Protocol service as a way of creating an additional telephone and fax number for my business in October, 2016 when I started my accounting and tax practice. I was excited about the idea of having two different telephone numbers ring to my cell phone, my personal cell phone number and work number through the Nextiva App. In the beginning I was already having problems hearing people using the Nextiva App by itself. People were also having trouble hearing me. Voices would fade in and out in a tinny, electronic manner. I called Nextiva several times to get this resolved. Their level one and two technicians are a waste of everyone's time and money. When I called into Nextiva customer service, I kept getting asked repeatedly for my PIN, name, and phone number. Often it was the same person asking me over and over again the same information that they were clearly not keeping track of. They also repeated apologies and ultimately did not know how to resolve a single problem I called in about. After a few months and persistence, I was able to get to a level 4 technician consistently, who helped me bypass the Nextiva App by piggy-backing on my cell phone number. I could then hear people better and the reception was better. A few months after that during this past tax season 2018, I started noticing I was missing calls. One of the customer relations managers at Nextiva, denied that there was a problem and denied me a one month credit that I asked for. Monthly fees were about $50/month. After several months of calling in about the same problem, I reached a customer service manager, who granted me a credit for one month in August, 2018 for September, 2018. I still had the same problem, then they said my router was no good for the Nextiva service. There was subsequent fooling around with Comcast who had to come out twice because I had asked according to Nextiva instructions for a stand-alone modem. After the second visit Comcast stated they no longer provide stand-alone modems, but can bridge the modem they provide. There was a lot of customer service manager turnover. The customer service manager changed to one who sent me a Netgear router for free to try. I still had the same problems, my phone would go straight to voicemail when people called. I told the manager I have had it, I have spent at least 100 hours with Nextiva Customer service. I then proceeded to look for another service and get my phone number and fax transferred to the new service. This is called porting the number, which takes a few weeks to complete. Upon being informed the service manager got mad and charged my business credit card on file without my authorization for $91.10 for a Netgear N300 Router retailing at $34.99. I was furious. I stuck to my plan and ported the numbers over to the new service and shipped the Netgear router back at my own expense via UPS 2 day costing $14.44. The porting got confirmed by the new VOIP service and the router return was confirmed by Nextiva who promptly credited the $91.10 back to my credit card. Save yourself some time and money in your VOIP search and do not go to Nextiva.

I had some issues with my caller ID on my business line, and the rep went above and beyond to make ensure the problem was resolved. He also checked that all my 24-hour calls were routed as needed. My first call in over two years, and Im satisfied with the outcome.

I love my job. Nextiva has increased my abilities in sales. Before I was real shy, lack confidence on the phone, and didn't know how to sell. After proper training, and working with my coworkers I am a completely different person. I'm hitting my goals.

if you are not on VoIP system then you should really be looking into it. We put it off for a number of years as wasn't quite sold on the benefits, and had in our head that it would be an expensive transition. It turned out that this wasn't the case at all, and we were pleasantly surprised once we actually started investigating our options. We went with Nextiva as their Sales team were the best to work with out of the other companies we looked into. They were very responsive and upfront, and they had a good understanding of the technical side of things (and could easily explain it to us non-technical people!). Their support team have been equally good to work with they managed a very smooth transition, and we haven't experienced any downtime. Call quality is good too. Overall, we have all been pleased that we made the switch; the technology and system is easy to learn and reliable, the cost is very competitive (and cheaper than our old system), and if you ever have questions you can easily get them answered. Would recommend this product to other small businesses.

It is with much disappointment and regret that I write today regarding my recent experience with Nextiva and its employees. It was, without a doubt, one of the most personally frustrating and financially damaging experiences I have had to experience in my years of communications with a service provider of any kind. I am a business owner who depends greatly upon the ability and ease for my customers to contact me for products or services. Without the communication of both our established and also potential clients, I wouldn't be in business to this day. I find it most imperative that in order to keep my clients, I must carry my business in a way that is integrous and honest, and it was to my ultimate disappointment that Nextiva's employees did not share the same values. As my business grew, I found myself in need of a phone service that offered more than my mobile service provider did, so I began looking for internet phone providers that could accommodate my needs. It was in March of 2018 that I committed to finding a resolution to the need, and also when I initially contacted Nextiva for service. My business and its employees rely solely on communication by mobile devices, and it was our understanding upon several conversations with Nextiva's sales department that Nextiva would allow me to continue to use my mobile device while utilizing their features for my business (IE Call Forwarding, Call Transfer, Conference Calling, etc). Through multiple conversations with Nextiva Sales and even Nextiva Management, I made it very clear that I used a Straight Talk mobile device powered by Straight Talk wireless service, and I was assured that Nextiva's service and features would work perfectly well on my device, and that there would be absolutely no issues porting, but rather a reliable and smooth transition and zero loss of connection at any time. After many issues, failed port-in attempts, and multiple service disconnections, we discovered that Nextiva does not work with a Straight Talk mobile device. This distressing sequence of events resulted in a devastating loss of profit for my business while we experienced multiple shut downs of our only business line of communication. In fact, we believe to be the first customer of theirs to attempt use of their service with a Straight Talk device, as it became clear that they were not even aware that the type of device would not work with their service, further proving that they had not ever tested using this type of device. It is unfortunate that Nextiva advertises that their service will "work with any provider on any device" as it is blatantly untrue and false advertisement. It took two separate instances of "mobile phone disconnections" and troubleshooting with Nextiva's technical support team to conclude the prior stated. Not only did Nextiva's service require that we go through three port-in attempts, but our mobile services (and therefore business calls) were disconnected twice over several hours before Nextiva's team could conclude the reason why. After several days and hours on the phone spent with Nextiva's team and realizing that their service would not work for our needs, the porting team then ported-out our main business line without our authorization or knowledge. In fact, we didn't have any idea that Nextiva's porting department ported out our number for nearly an entire week and were not able to retrieve the number for 8 days after it was brought to our attention that it was ported out unauthorized we only found out because we received an email from a customer asking for a "working phone number" that they could reach us at. You can imagine the kind of frustration this caused on our end to realize that the reason we weren't receiving business was because of something Nextiva's employees took upon themselves to do without our authorization, let alone our knowledge. Upon requesting that our service be cancelled prior to the unauthorized port out, it was made clear to more than one person that we could not port out our number until we had a new service provider to port out to. Support team members of Nextiva supposedly understood this by promising not to shut our service off until we found a new service provider, yet ported the number out anyway, leaving us to chase it down on our personal time outside of Nextiva in an effort to regain control of it. This year our profit margin had been slowly rising higher until we had no phone or open line of communication with our customers. During the month that we spent attempting use of Nextiva's service unsuccessfully with our multiple port in attempts and disconnects, our profit margin dropped 96%. I can't begin to place a value on the amount of business that I have lost by not having an open business line for my customers to reach me at. I have hundreds of loyal clients of over 6 years that were unable to reach me (and at this point may believe I'm no longer in business), several sales that I was in the middle of that I was never able to complete, and several websites and advertising avenues with business line listed, that appeared fraudulent to (who knows how many) potential clients searching for services from my business as well. It is unknown if I'll be able to recoup all of them back, and unfortunately, there is no way that I'll ever know. I can state for certain that I did not receive business phone calls for anywhere between 1-2 weeks combined due to the incompetency and many mistakes of Nextiva's employees that we experienced during our attempts to use their service. We were billed for two months of service that we did not use and spent hours of both our personal and our business time in attempts to resolve any and all issues with their team, ultimately, to no avail. It was discussed with both Nextiva's porting department as well as their retention team the multiple issues that contributed to our needing to cancel, and we were assured that because we were unable to use their service as expected, that we would be refunded the full amount of our costs. We signed up for a 30-day trial (or money back guarantee) but because of the multiple failed ports, we missed our window to cancel (to no fault of our own). Not only were we assured that our payments would be refunded due to our extensive issues, but we were then lied to on the phone during our final disconnect of service by an employee whop stated that Nextiva would never have promised us a refund, and that we should not expect one. I am a business owner that is undoubtedly frustrated and beyond upset over the financial damages and loss that we experienced during our time attempting use of Nextiva's services. I wouldn't recommend that anyone spend a moment of their time speaking to their team. It was most devastating to learn that I couldn't trust the words coming out of their mouths at any given time, as they have mastered the art of saying exactly what it is that their consumer wants to hear. Perhaps this may be a service that works better for landline users (though that is stated with only the utmost assumption), but if that is the only case, then Nextiva needs to stop selling their service as a solution for mobile phone users as well. **The above is my full review, and upon submitting to the Better Business Bureau, their minimal response to my experience was as follows: "We would like to apologize for the inconveniences Mr.Vincent experienced. At Nextiva, as mentioned before we are highly committed to our customers and an amazing user experience is a top priority. In an effort to comply with Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) and FCC requirements, we cannot share details regarding this matter via this method of communication." Following this, I was able to reject their response as unacceptable. It wasn't until I publicly reviewed my experience with them on the internet that I was contacted by a Manager of Nextiva's Customer Relations team. They had seen my review of their business (which was posted to multiple business review websites) and contacted me. It was during my second/follow-up phone call with this manager when it was explained that he had reviewed and listened to the calls between their customer service representatives and myself. The reason for this was to investigate the accuracy of my claims regarding conversations between myself and their representatives. After review, he realized that what we stated in our full review was correct, and under the circumstances he fully admitted fault. He went on to explain that this was only the 2nd time in the 7-year history of his employment with Nextiva that he had ever run into a situation such as ours and that was as extreme and as devastating as the one that my company experienced. Regardless of his admission of fault, the most Nextiva was willing to do was refund my monthly service cost for the service we never received to begin with, and completely disregarded the huge financial devastation that was put on our company because of this. Nothing was offered in an effort to make right of the damages caused, even after full admittance of their wrong doings. Since then, my business has switched to Verizon's One Talk service, which has proven to be an incredibly smooth transition. It is a reliable service that allows us to utilize the features we've been desperately needing to make communications with our customers easier. I would highly recommend anybody looking for a service such as this to look no further than Verizon! I fully believe you'll find the experience to be a much better one than you'll find anywhere else.

We began on a journey a few years ago to find a business solution that wasn't just a phone service but a service that encapsulated many areas of our business. We found Nextiva had begun wrapping other business solutions AROUND the VOIP product. Being able to have a fully integrated CRM, Business Voice, Online Chat, Survey, and email marketing platform that all works together is exactly why we have stuck with Nextiva. Many improvements and innovations focused on business solutions rather than simple of telephone service has made this our company of choice.

We have been using it for 3 months so far, and I have been impressed at every step along the way. We never had any formal case management process because we were using quite a few different systems to talk to our customers, it was very manual, and more often staff would just man a particular system that day and our team leaders would try to make sure everyone looked' busy (it was really hard to tell what was actually happening!). So having everything on the one screen is a big step up for us, and the wiki articles are really helpful with regard to giving our team the information they may be looking for when they talking about it. The internal chat also mean is our staff are on the phone, they can still contact other staff members that may be able to help we try to keep our customers off hold when they call, as it's not a great experience, so this has really helped us with that too. If you are like us, and it feels like a really big upgrade to make, don't let that put you off. The Nextiva team are experts at onboarding, and they were able to support us at every step to make sure that the technology was ready and our business users were ready at go live. I was pretty nervous leading up to it, as didn't want any negative customer experience, and was worried about how our staff would handle it. It went much better than I anticipated, and while there were a few hiccups, Nextiva were able to get us sorted out immediately, so business interruption was very minimal. I would recommend this company and this product.

The charity I work for has a dedicated fundraising call center that uses Nextiva's platform and has done so for six months. Nextiva is built to help you maximize your time and efficiency. NextOS is a real game changer for us, everybody has learned to use the system well and is happy with the results. Being able to fundraise more effectively is really important to a non-profit. We have gained so many benefits since we got the right technology working for us.

They assigned my fax number to someone else without my knowledge. Faxes for meant for my business may have gone to this customer and I can't be assured that they won't continue to go there. I have paid for my established fax number they gave it away in error and they won't give me the number back or even reimburse me for the time when I no longer had a working fax number.

Been using Nextiva for over three years. Service is excellent and we've had no issues. I have been instrumental in six other companies switching to Nextiva. Call sound is good from the office phone and cell phone. It has all the bells and whistles needed to make the system work for our company. It was the best business tech decision we've made was switching to Nextiva.

We were fairly confident in our products, but we found it was really hard to track customer interactions and queries as we are required (just due to general customer expectations) to maintain multiple ways to get in touch with us. We found that while we were giving our customers really good service, it was hard to get a viewpoint of what the customers really wanted from us. If you asked our team dealing with chat on the website, they would have a different view of what our customers wanted than the teams dealing with customers via the phones. Capturing and collating and analysing all this data was becoming quite an expensive and also an inefficient option. We started researching what solutions there were, and stumbled across Nextiva. Their NextOS system seemed like it could actually help us, given that the entire focus was related to making it easier for businesses to interact with their customers. By using NextOS, we were able to decommission 6 other systems which we were using to manage relationships with our customers. For the first time we have an entire clear picture of each customer's journey and interactions with us, and can get reliable data out of the platform. Implementation went much better than we could ever have imagined; we let Nextiva come up with a plan based on their experience, and they supported us every step of the way. Nextiva make a lot of big promises when you are talking to them about what they platform can do for you, but we've actually found that their platform delivers exactly what we need. It's a Platform that would suit really large companies, as well as small-medium sized companies like ours. Because it's an off the shelf product it's at a really good price, but it feels like it's helped us operate like a much larger company. Overall, we're really impressed. If you are looking at Nextiva, I would recommend do your homework and ask as many questions as you can think of until you feel comfortable they seem to pride themselves on their service, and we found them really easy to work with. No question was too little or too silly, and it meant we went into the transition with a high level of confidence.

These guys ROCK! I can't believe I almost signed up with another company that would've cost me $85 more per month and not given me nearly the productivity apps that Nextiva does! The actual phone service is awesome, and everybody I speak to there has a genuine wish to make me feel cared for.

Nextiva are the worst! Terrible service! Cuts out all the time. On cancelling they are still charging my card a year later and claiming they got no cancellation! We are reporting it to bank as fraud! Dimitri their so called manager of customer service was sarcastic, rude, shouted over everything I said and had no interest in resolving the problem! As a professional business woman we have worked with many companies NEVER HAD THIS UNPROFESSIONAL FRAUDSTER SERVICE EVER They claim they keep recordings of conversations when I asked them to pull mine they said oh we don't keep them that long! Convenient! Apart from their horrible customer service in general the system is USELESS

We are very Support Conscious and Nextiva is the same way. A CSR answers the phone instead of me having to wait until I hear all the 'options that may have changed' Consistency is a hot button for me. If I have to call 2 support people to get an answer, I am gone. Our tech was way old school, a legacy pbx system. They squared us away RIGHT away plus nobody else had the business productivity apps that Nextiva provides

Very happy with Nextiva. Everything we need and much more as a digital start-up. I love the toll-free vanity number because it makes us look professional to our prospects. Customer service is very attentive. Starting level packages have a strong standard feature set, and the optional add-ons are flexible and reasonably priced, making it easier to meet your business needs. We use voicemail to email, auto attendant, routing to personal numbers and faxing. The dashboard has a very simple interface that’s easy to configure. Happy customer right here!

Nextiva has put a lot of great features in that make it a lot faster for our team to complete common tasks. Every interaction they are saving time, which means they are less frantic, and now we are a lot better prepared for growth.

It was simple working with Nextiva. They provide a high level of service and loads of education and resources to make sure that you understand what you're getting and how best to use it. Awesome for small businesses too.

Having all customer conversations in one place is much better from a management and monitoring standpoint and saves a lot of time when dealing with a service ticket. Customers get a better experience when you use Nextiva VoIP.

Before Nextiva our communications were fragmented and service teams worked across multiple software systems. It was a clunky situation and not ideal from providing a high level of service. We're very happy with the new set up.
