The calls are of very good quality, you can also send text messages, better than other systems we had tried before.

Pros

This app helps us to communicate with offices outside the country, at a very low cost.
Allows you to install an app to the mobile phone at no extra cost.

Cons

At one time the app could not be installed from the Play store, and we had to ask the company directly, this made us delay in some way.

Despite the glitches I enjoy it and they even have customer service that seems to be involved. I am offered early on a scheduled appointment to discuss all the features of the phone that can help me with my business.

Pros

I enjoyed it, I appreciate being able to try the trial and

Cons

When I send text messages it may seem delayed when you go back to read it but on my client's end, he received the message so he replies but on the message log instead his answer to my question appears before mine. I like to log my client's contact so I hope this glitch will be fixed.

Clients number- when you click add to contacts you go and right away brings you to your contacts where my number for client is saved but it doesn't save it in the app- so it still appears as just the number.

Horrible

Reviewed on 2019/08/29

Pros

The software usually delivers my messages and calls reasonably well.

Cons

The software is buggy.I get random errors such as divide by zero exceptions during normal operation.
On Windows 10, it will not save my microphone and headset settings. This means that I frequently (for every call) have to hang up on people, go into settings, set the microphone and speakers back to my headset, and call them back. This is inconvenient for people I know and can call back, but devastating if I'm trying to conduct business.
Every update brings a litany of unexpected behavior and new errors, especially on mobile. (Moto E4 Plus)
My biggest dislike is the difficulty I have had in getting assistance in porting my number out now that I have decided I'm done. They say they haven't received a port request despite my carrier submitting a request repeatedly over the course of 2-3 months. We have tried reaching out to their VOIP service provider to try and get an answer as to why the port request is being rejected, but have yet to have a call answered despite calling during their posted open hours. Line2's response has basically been "not our problem."

I highly recommend Line2 for those staffing companies that have offshore recruiters. It is very helpful. Communication is the key to successful placements. This is worth investing in.

Pros

I love the idea that it's like a virtual cellphone for us- recruiters working offshore! You can text and call a candidate easily in one software. Candidates can also leave a voice message and you will be notified and you can listen to it! You can also install Line2 on your cellphone - very accessible!

Cons

I think there is only one thing - there is no search option! Whenever I tried to look for previous messages I need to manually look for it - one by one. It would be easier if I can simply type a keyword on a search box!

You get what you pay for, but for its useful and efficient automated assistant.

Pros

The pricing was right, and it offers a good automated assistant. The Windows app was fairly easy to use.

Cons

The Windows app isn't as robust as similar products, and it doesn't offer some of the free perks of its competitors such as conference calling and a back up line. The dialer is a bit wonky compared to other interfaces and the app should allow you to do more administrative tasks.

Overall, this is a good product and I have recommended it to other people, but you do need to understand what the limitations are. I personally don't use the text messaging in the app, but it does have that too.

Pros

Easy to use and set up. Porting my old office line was done rather quickly.

Cons

1. Can only have one line
2. If a call from your cell phone comes in, it places the Line 2 Call on hold
3. Often signs me out - need to re-login more often than I think I should (maybe weekly?)
4. Can't run on more than one device - so YOUR mobile device only.

POOR EXPERIENCE

POOR EXPERIENCE

Pros

Nothing. This company scams people. I lost over $300

Cons

I don't usually leave a review on any business. But this time I was forced to.

This is company scams small businesses. A few months ago I had to move my phone number to a different company as the call reception with Line 2 was poor.

It's been 5 months since I have moved to a new company but Line2 has still be charging me for the service I have not subscribed for. I do not have any phone number with them, but they still charge me for no reason.

I had tried calling the customer care to get this fixed, but they seem to claim that my phone number is still active with them. This is false because I have already ported my phone number over to a different company and am calling Line2 from the new company's app. They have also declined to offer me a refund for their false charges.

I am extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with my experience with Line2. I have lost over $300 and would never recommend Line2 to anyone. I am a small business owner and loosing $300 during pandemic doesn't help me.

Hence I wanted to share my experience with others to avoid them from falling in to this trap.

Thanks

In general I would not recommend it, there are better free options with more users. I would change the payment option, I would improve the quality of the calls and I would focus on making myself better known in other countries, also, I would add the option of other lines outside the United States and Canada. Also, I would like to be able to reach more users.

Pros

It is useful for making calls because it has good audio quality. It fulfills what it promises at the beginning and it is useful to have a telephone line from the United States or Canada.

Cons

Access to the full range of functions is subject to a fee, but is constantly improving. The volume of calls is sometimes very low; it is from telephone lines exclusive to the United States and Canada; sometimes calls are automatically cut off after 5 minutes and it is not always easy to cancel the subscription at the time you want.
