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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Switched from Telstra land lines to Spoke in like 1 hour - just installed some IP desk phones and for a novice like me it was very easy - Can get through to Customer executive in seconds and the quality of assistance is perfect - highly recommend Spoke on all aspects of my experience

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.

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

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.
