If you need to find a test candidate for your client quickly, this is one of the best ways. Pull yourself a hot list of a couple hundred potential candidates and load them in to CallFire. Then get ready to hit about 50-60 calls per hour. You should have a great test candidate for your client in about 24 hours! It's amazing how quickly you can show your clients the true speed of your company.

It's a solid service for small business in particular. It is wrapped in with our internet service where it is actually cheaper for us to have both than just one. The entry cost is low and the on-the-go features are useful if you need to receive calls when you're not in the office. Their mobile app allows you to administer the service from wherever you are, so if you have an emergency, it's easy to reroute calls from wherever you may be.

  • It is very good, full-featured business phone for long distance offshore call. We had been using this phone for long for our day to day communication and it was working perfectly without any noise.
  • This voip provides few cool and nice features like unlimited international long distance call, Voicemail to email,
  • Directory listening etc, call recording is also good.

Cons
  • The services are easy to use and robust, but there is room for improvement. Unfortunately, not much has changed over the last 2 years of use. There haven't been any new features or innovations in that time.
  • API integration and automation is not easy for most folks to jump into and there is very little technical support or documentation to take advantage of such features.
  • The standard reports are generally sufficient, but there isn't any customization or intelligence available.

  • Not a fan of the poly phones
  • I feel if the phones were set up better when installed it would have saved a lot of headache.

Alternatives Considered
We considered Trello before deciding on CallFire. Trello is a good service that seems to do much of what CallFire does, however we wanted to avoid the labor-hours necessary to get Trello up to speed, as it is very technically involved. We didn't want to hire any additional developers just to get Trello set up and maintained. With CallFire, it was very intuitive and easy to setup quickly.

We've used Allworx phone systems onsite. They are the most expensive option when it comes to VOIP. We noticed that we paid for equipment over service with them. Service was great - and pennies on the dollar of what Comcast charges. But the equipment costs thousands of dollars. The use of the system was a bit easier with Allworx, but we solely switched because of the equipment cost.

Return on Investment
  • I sent out a broadcast message pretty deep in our data base, well three years out. I had one customer come in and buy thanking me for contacting her.
  • Our holiday season was up 35% over last year, this year we used CallFire more than we did in the past.

  • In my experience, you have to pay to get out of contract.
  • In my opinion, it's a total waste of time and money.
