1-VoIP Residential Review: Prices, Features, and More

About 1-VoIP

1-VoIP used to be called VoIP Your Life or YVLYmedia, and they started out as a telecommunication company four decades ago. In 2005, they transitioned to a Voice over Internet Protocol service provider bringing in their years of experience along with them. They are headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and have gained a solid platform by offering excellent customer support; this can be seen from the number of reviews they have on various websites. In addition, they aim to provide the highest audio quality, and they advertise a 99.999% uptime SLA. 

The Better Business Bureau, BBB, rated 1-VoIP with a "C," but they are currently not accredited by them. They received three complaints in the last three years. 

1-VoIP Plans

1-VoIP offers customers three plans for businesses: 

• Metered Plan: With this plan, you pay for what you get. If a business opts for this plan, they will get the option to choose between using their existing phone or selecting a new one. Customers are charged per extension, so an exact number will have to be figured out beforehand. Fax lines, toll-free numbers, and conference bridges can be included for an extra fee.
   
• Corporate plan: This plan has the lowest monthly fee, and the company can take advantage of different telecommunication tools.
   
•  Professional Plan: This plan has a low starting fee, and it has every feature 1-VoIP has to offer. 

1-VoIP Features

The features included with each plan are: 

• Call recording: All calls made and received can be recorded. Recordings are kept in the online portal for seven days.
   
• Voicemail: Each extension gets its own unique mailbox. And it can be reached directly from the phone.
   
• Custom announcements: When the company receives calls, its customers can be informed by a pre-recorded announcement. The message is fully customized to fit your message.
   
• Custom music: Businesses can choose which hold music they want to play while customers wait.
   
• Opt-out of music: Businesses can choose whether or not they prefer a normal ring or music or a combo of both.
   
• Digital queues: This feature is flexible and customizable for a smooth transaction.
   
• Auto-attendant: Businesses can use this feature to direct callers based on their provided information, and they will be directed to the proper department.
   
• Hours of operation call flow: This feature makes it easier for customers to be informed on the hours of operation, so they won't have to stay on the line for too long of the businesses being closed. 
   
• Call waiting: This feature helps customers stay in line if you are already on the call; it can also be disabled and enabled for convenience.
   
• Cell phone redirect: This feature can be used when an employee uses a cell phone; the call can still be transferred to a four-digit extension.
