Phone.com is a legitimate business phone provider, in business since 2006 and owned by Ooma (NYSE: OOMA) since late December 2025. It suits small teams that want month-to-month billing and the option to put each user on a different plan. Reviews praise setup and porting help but complain about slow, bounced support, and the A- BBB rating comes with 24 complaints in three years. Ooma still sells it under the Phone.com brand, so check for any plan or platform changes before you sign an annual term.

Phone.com legitimacy and licensing
Yes. Phone.Com, Inc. is based in Livingston, New Jersey, and the BBB lists it in business since March 2006. In late December 2025, Ooma, Inc., a public company listed on the NYSE, bought all of its stock for about $22.6 million in cash. Ooma’s annual report describes Phone.com as a cloud phone provider for small and midsize organizations and counts it as part of Ooma Business, and Phone.com is still sold under its own brand.
Its reputation is good but not spotless. The BBB rates it A-, not accredited, with 24 complaints in three years. Trustpilot gives it 4.5 out of 5 from 232 reviews, though 32% are one star, and Phone.com replies to all negative reviews. The iPhone app rates 4.4 from 232 ratings.
Phone.com pricing explained
Phone.com sells three plans, Basic, Plus and Pro, priced per user. In October 2026 Basic was listed at $15 per user a month billed annually or $18 month to month. Annual billing saves about 17%. You can assign a different plan to each user, so a front desk can sit on Basic while a manager gets Pro. Basic includes one number for the whole account; Plus and Pro include one number per user. Call recording is included on Pro and costs $7.99 a month on other plans.
Budget for extras. Taxes and regulatory fees are added to each invoice and vary by location. Business texting needs carrier registration and carries carrier fees, and bulk texting costs more. International calling must be turned on by support and can require a $200 deposit. ProSIM, a second line on your mobile phone, is $10 a month with the first month free. Volume discounts are available through sales.
What you get
Phone.com’s site lists call handling such as extensions, auto attendant and call routing, web and mobile apps, video meetings for up to 100 participants, and business texting. Which features come with Basic, Plus or Pro is shown only in its interactive plan grid, so confirm the plan for each user before you buy. Add-ons include Live Answer-Connect, a U.S.-based live receptionist service; AI-Connect for AI call routing and scheduling; ProSIM; and desk phones. Phone.com says it is SOC 2 attested. All plans are subject to fair use limits on voice, text and video.

Recurring themes across the review sites and complaint records listed above, not individual quotes.
Common praise
- Patient, knowledgeable staff during setup

Phone.com complaints and how to avoid them
Negative reviews focus on support: slow replies, being passed between departments, and technical problems that take several tries to fix. A few report Android app trouble and billing disputes. Positive reviews describe helpful setup staff and smooth number porting.
To avoid problems, test call quality and the apps within the 30-day guarantee window, keep your existing carrier active until your number port finishes, ask for a sample invoice that shows taxes and fees, and register for texting before you need it. Put any cancellation or billing request in writing and keep the confirmation.
Cancellation and refunds
Phone.com offers a 30-day money-back guarantee that covers user fees only; premium phone numbers and hardware are excluded. On month-to-month billing you can cancel at any time. Annual billing is cheaper but commits you for the year, so start monthly if you’re unsure. If you’re leaving, port your numbers to the new provider before you close the account so you don’t lose them.
What the Ooma acquisition means for you
Ooma completed the purchase in late December 2025, financing it with cash and a $20 million term loan. Ooma’s filings list retaining Phone.com’s customers and integrating the business as risks, and they describe Phone.com and Ooma Office as offering similar services. We found no public notice of a customer migration or price change as of October 13, 2026, but changes are common after deals like this. If you’re signing an annual plan, ask in writing whether your plan, platform or pricing will change during the term.
