Excellent value at a reasonable price

I have been a Grasshopper Small Business client for years.

I rarely have to call Customer Service but when I do, I have always received excellent Support.

The phone #s and Virtual Assistant Answering Service are very reasonable priced.

Grasshopper has been an excellent value…

Grasshopper has been an excellent value for our restoration business, especially under the Partner plan, which gives us a very professional phone system at a price that makes sense for a small team. The combination of multiple extensions, custom greetings, and mobile/desktop apps means we get “big company” capabilities without big company costs, and the system has been reliable and easy to manage day to day. Also they are always making improvements with the latest being making the call recordings available in the desktop app conversation chat. Nice job! 🤩

I have to sue them

I have to sue them! My secretary left our organization and took the admin info with her. This company's customer service is the worst. They refuse to give me back my corporate phone number or access to the company phone system. These insist I provide them with information I do not have. Consumers should be very careful about using their services because if you have someone leave your company and they refuse to give you the password, you are in real trouble. They will not accept any of the corporate documents I have offered to show them.

Hi Jason - we're sorry to hear about the frustrating experience with your secretary. We keep security top of mind and only provide this information when the account admin gives permission. If you're still unable to access the system then we're happy to help you port the number to a new account!

A real deal (after a bumpy start)

I’ll be upfront: when I first signed up for Grasshopper, I was ready to cancel and left a 1-star review. The interface is not the best part of their service. It felt clunky and outdated, and setting everything up was way harder than it needed to be. I was genuinely frustrated.
But the customer support is just great.
I ended up speaking with support 5 or 6 times, and every single person I talked to was sharp, patient, and knew exactly what they were doing. No hold music, no “your call is very important to us” nonsense, no chat with Pakistan. Within two minutes I was always on the phone with a live American rep who walked me through every step until the issue was 100% fixed. They didn’t rush me off the line they stayed until it actually worked.
Yes, the user interface still isn’t the prettiest part of the service. But the customer support is really helpful
And here’s the cherry on top: for the price, Grasshopper gives you way more than anyone else. Free users, free extensions, and actual step-by-step help all for very little money. It does take some time to get everything dialed in, but once it’s set up… it just works. Great!!?
I’ve tried Quo, Zoom Phone, Google Voice, and a bunch of others. None of them even come close to the combination of real human support and overall value that Grasshopper delivers.
If you’re okay investing a little time upfront (and you know you can call support if you get stuck), Grasshopper is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend.

Terrible experience – impossible to cancel and still being charged

I had an extremely frustrating experience with Grasshopper.

First, their cancellation process is unnecessarily complicated. They require you to submit a reason online, generate a case number, and then call in to actually cancel. Even after doing all that, I had to go through multiple automated prompts before finally reaching someone who could help.

By the time I got through, our phone number had already been ported to another provider, meaning Grasshopper was no longer providing any service. Despite that, they continued to charge us.

When I asked for a refund for the months we were not using the service, I was told the representative “did not have the option” to issue one. So not only were we billed for a service we weren’t using, but there was also no resolution offered.

This process feels intentionally difficult and not customer-friendly. If a number is ported out, the account should be automatically canceled, or at the very least, billing should stop.

Overall, very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this service.

Hi Emerson - we’re really sorry to hear this has been frustrating, and we truly appreciate you sharing your feedback. Our annual plans are billed upfront for the full 12 months, and even if a number is ported out, the account remains accessible through the end of the billing term.

We understand that cancellation expectations can vary, and we’re actively exploring ways to make this process clearer and easier for our customers. We've requested more information to dive in and help make this right. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience - it helps us improve.

Not able to use a Google contact list

Not able to use a Google contact list. Grasshopper list max of 2,000 makes it unusable for a non-startup.

Beware of this toxic incompetent service

We are a medical practice We have used grasshopper for 10 years. The service is poor. A third party vendor pirated our number away from our patients and our practice. Grasshopper lacked the competence or compassion to
Assist us. The customer service reps hang up out of ignorance and indifference. The supervisors are worse. Do not use this service they will destroy your business Particular toxic is a rude supervisor abroad called Ricardo. He doesn’t care and he lets you know

They will sell your number to spam caller lists

Terrible customer service and an even worse phone provider. Save your money and get a phone number from another company. They sell your number and private data to telemarketers. 53 spam calls in 12 days yet I only had 3-4 in the other 10 months I had the service?? And they refuse to cancel the line even when asked to.

Hi Ross - We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating unwanted calls can be. We want to be clear that we do not sell our customers’ phone numbers or personal information. Spam calls are unfortunately a widespread industry issue and not specific to our service. Good news is within Grasshopper you can block numbers from your call history to help prevent spam. We're happy to help set this up for you!

The fine print *UPDATED*

*UPDATED*
This review is not based on the actual product, more so fine print after signing up. Please read so it doesn’t happen to you.

I signed up because I wanted a simple phone greeting and then options 1,2,3 etc. Package choices wasn’t clear, so I picked the lowest package (paid full year), it said i needed to upgrade to get the options. So i called support, and they told me if i upgrade it will be effective on the next billing cycle… my billing cycle is a year.. because i paid a full year… if i cancel it will effective on the next billing cycle… which is a year… so, i paid $167 for a product thats useless to me. My number is already being transferred/ported to them, and i cant do anything for ONE YEAR!

*UPDATE*
After calling back and speaking to another rep (last rep wasn’t trained properly and gave me wrong information), he was able to help me with the correct information without upgrading. I can now use the service as i needed. I’ll give 2 stars back, but things aren’t fully clear when signing up.

Canceling Grasshopper is a nightmare! 30 Minutes+ and must be done on the phone

Canceling your subscription will take 20-30 minutes and you will have to deal with an online Ai assistant first - then call an 800 number and get bounced around a couple times - then finally you get a human (a nice human) who offers two other options. 30 minutes is unacceptable for a business owner. Waste of time - should be automated (especially since this is a tech company). Service was fine, but this experience is not. I will never use Grasshopper or any of their other services again. And I will actively, loudly share this unacceptable experience with other business owners so they can avoid Grasshopper. Do better. Automate it. Full stop.
