BEWARE CALLHIPPO
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I find it incredible that a company like CallHippo would go through this length just to keep 200 bucks of payment from us. We activated our line, PAID FOR IT! Topped up minutes. Went through the post-sales call, did various calls with support. Were confirmed that the onboarding process had finished. And yet it had not. Out of nowhere, after we sent everything to print and changed the number on some licensing paperwork, they freeze our account, and much worst, THEY SHUT OFF OUR NUMBERS!!!!! And yet, no one answers our emails. We have replied 2 times with all the info and yet nothing. This is SOOOOOO wrong I cannot even begin to express how wrong this is. I hope they enjoyed mistreating us like that and that it was worth losing their company's status over 200 dollars! Because we lost ours. Thank you so much Call Hippo!!! As I search google I see many others have the same issues.
