Navigating Communication Challenges

Our experience with 8x8 was positive initially, and the features offered were commendable. However, as issues with delays and distorted sound emerged, our communication challenges continued, prompting the decision to switch providers.

Pros
  • The versatility to make calls from a computer, phone, and desk phone was a notable advantage
Cons
  • Despite the promising start, we encountered significant delays when using 8x8 over data, accompanied by distorted sound in the Virtual Office
  • These issues prompted a switch to a landline, and while considering alternatives in the VOIP realm, we faced challenges that persisted despite efforts, leading us to ultimately change providers.
