Here's why thousands of small businesses choose OpenPhone
Add numbers as your business grows. Each team member can choose from a local US and Canadian number or a North American toll-free number when they join your workspace. Plus, departments can share a number among multiple team members.
Need even more numbers? Additional numbers cost $5 per number per month.
Use phone menus (also known as an auto attendant) to capture incoming calls and guide your customers to the right team member. Then pick up every customer call by simultaneously ringing available teammates.
If your team is occupied during high call volume periods, use backup call routing flows that take care of your customers. Set up a custom voicemail or auto-reply SMS to manage expectations for what’s next, or use call forwarding to send them to an after-hours answering service.
Give everyone on your team visibility into what the team is working on with OpenPhone’s cloud-based phone system.
Reduce silos by making all your customer communications visible with shared numbers. Use internal threads to answer questions and assign tasks directly on a message, phone call, or voicemail. AI call summaries and transcripts quickly get you up to speed so you can jump in where needed.
Focus more on customer relationships and less on admin tasks. Send common answers to questions in seconds with text templates. Update your contact data automatically with OpenPhone’s CRM integrations.
Use Zapier automated text flows to nurture contacts even when you’re not available. If you need automation suggestions, check out these Zapier examples.
Unlock true remote collaboration with OpenPhone’s desktop and mobile apps — no equipment or landline required.
