Pros

easy to use, simple installation and set up when you are already using a VIOP.
it is very simple but gets the important stuff right like call quality and reliability (so far)

Cons

3CX being a very old software had a lot more features that are missing in spoke. main ones are...
switchboard
immediate integration with hubspot
more admin controls like adjusting users settings remotely (very helpful)
contact page pop up when customer calls in

Good functions, easy to use, great support

Reviewed on 29/11/2023

Pros

Day to day operations are great and easy to onboard our staff into. There is no hardware investment in maintaining devices for our remote team. Administrative functions are also great in setting up and managing users and the integration into Hubspot to track calls is really beneficial to manage our sales team quotas.

Cons

There is a bit of a lag in our VoiP calls, in which our team have gotten use to but still remains a bit jarring in our customer calls.

Alternatives Considered

Google Voice and Zoom Phone

Reasons for Choosing Spoke Phone

We switched from zoom because at the time zoom telephone was not available in Australia.

Reasons for Switching to Spoke Phone

Whilst researching an inappropriate product, pricing and functionality were the key drivers for our choice for Spoke.

FANTASTIC. We are really impressed with such a wonderful way to run call management in a very flexible way with very reasonable costs. The customer support is also far beyond what we have received from telcos here in Australia such as telstra, optus and iinet.

Pros

Easy and fast to set up and learn. Feature packed with many options to customise. Fantastic support and fair about allowing you to use on trial longer until you are sure you want to implement a change to this modern platform. They are always updating and giving plenty of information on what is new.

Cons

Calls received will not experience the usual answered by a person. I didn't look into changing the Nina with our own pre recorded tape, however it works well.

Response from Spoke Network

Thanks for the great review, Alan. So glad Spoke Phone is working well for you and your business!

It has replaced our desk phone meaning multiple people can be 'in the office' without actually being in the office! It also helps over the weekend, we never miss any calls.

Pros

We have a part time office managers, meaning we need to switch between who gets calls for the day. With our previous supplier it was clunky and would take on average 10 minutes just to switch users. Spoke Phone is SO EASY to do and all within 4 clicks! Once we were set up (heaps of support and help with this) we were off and racing. We still have questions every now and then and the online chat box is really easy and convenient.

Cons

Bit confusing during set up with an auto-attendant but understand it all now . We'd really like an automatic text function so if someone leaves a voicemail they get a text saying we will call you back soon.

Response from Spoke Network

Hi Jami-Lee.

Thanks so much for the review and feedback about the auto-attendants.

We've some good plans for simplifying auto-attendants and the entire onboarding, so your feedback is helpful.

Best regards, Jason

Reviewed on 30/11/2023

Pros

Very easy to use and works wherever we are in the world. We travel extensively so the ability to continue to operate our NZ business while out of the country for no additional cost is invaluable.

Cons

Hard to think of a criticism. SpokePhone has been great throughout.

Cons

Like any VOIP system, you are reliant on the quality internet connection. Nothing Spoke Phone can do about that thought!

Great software for calls

Reviewed on 19/12/2023

Pros

Helpful support team, easy to understand the systems and implement. Great notifications system and cheap way to call international numbers.

Cons

Occasionally has issues with the wifi making receiving calls difficult.
Would love a feature to select regular unavailability, at the moment restricted to normal weekends, but hospitality staff usually have weekdays off so would be nice to set that up instead of each week having to mark ourselves as on holiday.

We are a small, but growing team and have always battled with our phone systems. Number of incoming lines, number of handsets, complex configuration, no options for remote workers. Spoke has solved all these problems and given us much more functionality for less cost per month. We will never need to think about another phone system again. If we have 20 or 200 team members, or have 1 or 10 different locations, Spoke will make it all so simple.

Pros

Spoke provides our team with freedom of communication. They have access to the rich feature set of an enterprise telephone system right on their mobile phone. Our team members have conversions with each other and/or our customers from anywhere. We are no longer tied to our desk phone. Importantly, our team can also control when they are available for calls and easily access voice mail and call recordings. Conference Calls - WOW! They are so simple on Spoke. No special numbers to remember, no pin codes. Just setup the call and the Spoke does the rest.

Cons

Nothing about the software, just be careful with blue tooth headset compatibility. Best to stick to the ones that have been tested and recommended by Spoke.

Response from Spoke Network

Hi Martin, thanks so much for the review.

We're looking forward to bringing AI voice productivity and integrations to your team this year!

We enjoy using spoke phone, we can work remotely, but still be able to appear like we are in the office. Team can transfer calls to each other, but can also see when someone is already on the phone

Pros

Cons

Some of the employees have difficulty having the spoke phone ring on their phones. But this could be user error

Great product to invest in.

Reviewed on 18/09/2020

Pros

I like that it's very user-friendly and simple. Updates are also very great - they listen to what the customers want and make the improvements with them in mind. I also like the fact that this software is able to cross the borders between different team members no matter where in the world you are. Customer support is also superb and very friendly. I haven't encountered one single rude person when I ask for help via spoke. They are always ready to help - especially [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. Thank you for your help.

Cons

Dropped calls are happening from time to time but it's not really the software fault. Mostly it's because of the carrier or the internet connection. It can be a bit frustrating when that happens but the customer support are always ready to give clarification on what is happening and also how to fix the problem- that is if it can be fixed at the moment.

Just great overall. I like the fact that we can call from our "landline" number making us look bigger than we are!

Pros

Very easy to set up, and the support is fantastic. They are always online and super helpful. The system itself is also really easy to use and amend as you need it to.

Cons

The only thing I dislike about it is that it doesn't work with Apple Carplay, so if I am in my car and a call comes in, I can "answer" the call but nothing is there and they can't hear me or me hear them.

Response from Spoke Network

Thanks Mandi!

Re: the Apple car play. Please try this.

Answer the call on the Spoke app. The audio should be coming out the iPhone.

then tap the audio button on Spoke and select your car Bluetooth.

Then see if the audio comes out the car.

We see issues with some folks on iPhones where if you answer on the phone, Apple will route the audio to the phone speaker even if you are connected to Bluetooth

Response from Spoke Network

Thanks for your review Dave.

We are glad your team is enjoying the productivity that Spoke Phone can provide.

Yes, we understand the issues in areas of poor reception. As with all VoIP calls, you need to have good data connection (4G/LTE) to ensure good call quality. Alternatively, in poor reception areas you can flick over to carrier calling mode which will provide a better calling experience.

Spoke phone is a fantastic product that has allowed us to consolidate our entire work network to mobile, and future proof our business communications. Interface is clean and easy to use. Great customer service, support and frequent updates to the service. Would highly recommend to anybody who values a remote or out of office workspace, a rich set of features, and allowance for flexible user arrangements

Pros

Rich feature set with lots of additional options to add value
Integration with many third party services (such as CRM)

Cons

Periodically a very small drop in call quality, but this appears to be continually improving and does not deter from the spoke experience

Hey Dave, thanks for the review and supporting Spoke Phone!

Be interested to see how you like the new Call Highlights feature. When you hear something on a call that you need to write down, just tap "Highlight" and Spoke goes back in time and transcribe what the person just said as a written-up note!

Be well, and thanks.

Spoke phone has to be something a start up or hi-growth business needs to consider It makes all the sense in the world with enabling highly effective communication in a cost effective manner. The Spoke phone team is highly responsive as well, which is nice--no customer care issues to speak of

Cons

none to date that we have experienced. It takes some getting used to, and there is a curve to get certain employees out of 'text only' mode but it does drive better conversations and communications, for sure.

Spoke allowed me to work remotely from another country and still be contactable through the office Phone. Creating a seamless business experience for customers.

Spoke allows us to work from anywhere with a professional phone service at our disposal. Staff can keep their personal phone numbers private while making and receiving calls on their own mobile phones. Voicemail, transferring calls between users and call conferencing are all a breeze and features such as call recording and dictation are beginning to change our workflows for the better.

Pros

Spoke brings the best bits of the office phone systems we’ve always known using the tool we always have with us.

More than that it extends beyond the abilities of traditional systems by leveraging the latest technological advances.

Somehow it does all of this at a very reasonable price with excellent customer service.

Cons

While Spoke is well on the way to greatness it’s still a work in progress. Features like the address book are still a little clunky but I’m told there are plans afoot for making it more user friendly and capable.
