SwitchboardFREE VoIP Phone Systems Reviews 

We've been using SwitchboardFREE for a while now, and overall, it’s a solid, reliable service that’s easy to configure and works well across different platforms – desk IP phones, the mobile app, and the Windows app. It's smooth and efficient for daily business operations.

Where SwitchboardFREE really shines is in customer service. Every interaction we've had has been excellent. Special shoutout to Abbey, Laura, and Katie – all three have been incredibly helpful, patient, and proactive in resolving our queries. It's rare to find such dedicated support staff who genuinely go the extra mile. They’re a real credit to the company.

That said, there are still a few areas where SwitchboardFREE could improve:

No Ability to Transfer Calls to External Numbers
This is a major limitation. If only one specific team member – possibly off-site – can help with a customer issue, there's no way to transfer the call externally. Instead, we have to end the call and start a new one manually, which wastes time and can lead to a frustrating customer experience.

Missing "Operations" Department Option
When setting up multi-department call routing, it would be helpful to have "Operations" as one of the default options. It’s a standard department in many businesses, and its absence is a bit surprising.

No Option for Bundled Number Packages
At the moment, numbers and users have to be paid for individually. It would be much more cost-effective and scalable to allow users to purchase a block of numbers (e.g., 10 numbers under one package) rather than having separate charges per number/user.

In Summary:
SwitchboardFREE is a great service with standout support – especially from Abbey, Laura, and Katie – but adding just a few features would take it to the next level. Highly recommended, but hoping for those improvements soon.

Ali from the support team was great. She handled my call with direct questions and provided an outstanding service!!!

Customer service was great at getting me a good deal and helping me set up. Phone was working straight out of the box and had no problems with it so far.

Katie has on more than one occasion talked me through things, holding my hand every step of the way. Always happy to help this technophobe and cheerfully goes above and beyond. An absolute superstar! Thank you Katie, you are appreciated.

I have never spent time on the phone with a nicer more informative representative than I did today wirh Ali. She was so helpful at explaining all the questions I was bombarding her with. 100% recommend to anyone interested

Zoe K Really helped me out with my questions. Straight and to the point. everything was done quickly, which is really important when so busy. I think I've been using SwitchboardFree for 5 years now and I've never had a problem.

Laura and Katie were fantastic being quite honest and made the who process very easy and not to forget Sharon who was very kind too. Brilliant company and I am looking forward to porting my Skype number over soon! Much appreciated. Matt Hughes . 5 Star experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brilliant. There was a couple of issues I could not resolve myself. Ali sorted it out for me. Everything is great. Thank you.

Excellent service and communication. I recommend SwitchboardFREE.

Katie solved a problem with our service, which was a misconfigured app .
One of the main things I like about this company is that you speak to real people without infuriating call bots.
Calls are answered quickly and service and help is great

Very responsive company, with very polite customer services. Highly recommended.

It just works. Does what it says on the tin. no try ons.

This company has impacted my business more than once now. Things are still not fixed after multiple reports, I am still unable to verify the phone number and support likes to take their time.
