   Easy to use, and just what we needed!

   I needed a 1800 number for my business, and paying for a second phone line and getting a second phone is overpriced for what I needed. for 10 bucks a month, OpenPhone allows me to have a 1800 number right on my own cell phone through their app. So my personal calls don't get mixed up with my business calls. The app is easy to use, has a voicemail feature, and call forwarding for when I'm out and don't want to use data.

   👍 Pros:    Easy to use|Cost effective

• Near a Cheap Alternative to PublicMobile

  I usually use VOIP with openphone.com and use her phone when I am on the go... But now need a phone for something simple and was looking to sign up with Public mobile for the $15 / month my wife had, but NOW ITS GONE!!! Dang those bastards. Source: about 1 year ago

• Need a permanent USA virtual phone number or virtual simcard capable of receiving sms when connected to DATA and/or WIFI. As cheap as possible.

  Google voice is free! If you need something with a little more power. Voip.ms, sipharmony.com, and openphone.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Favorite VOIP service?

  Hey – I'm one of the founders at OpenPhone so obviously biased here. I'm confident OpenPhone is the superior product and experience in every way. Would be happy to talk to you about it directly and show you a demo. Feel free to book a demo here or you can email me - dk at openphone.co. Source: over 2 years ago

• Google Voice alternatives. Recommendations PLEASE

  Oh no, the latest MacOS app is actually supposed to be much better than the web app. If you recall any issues you had specifically, please send me a note to dk @ openphone.co. Source: over 2 years ago

• Trying to move from Grasshopper

  Let me know if you'd be up for it. I'm dk at openphone.co. Source: over 2 years ago

• How to bypass public IP and NAT

  Firmware's like Asuswrt-Merlin or OpenWRT can support dynamic-dns, or you can do like I do and run something like OPNsense in an x86 VM with a NIC passed through, or buy an inexpensive firewall appliance (up to 500mbps/1gbps/10gbps). Source: 7 months ago

• Stop ISP from getting into my Router

  The easiest solution is to buy your own router, set it up, disable the router functionality on the Fritzbox 7590 and plug your router into it. It'll be cheaper and easier than a Cisco Firewall, but if you want to go the dedicated firewall route then I would recommenced OPNsense. Source: 7 months ago

• OpenBSD Innovations

  BSDs may not have a significant presence on desktops, but they're well known in the networking world for their reliability. They also were the foundation used to build OSes for specific applications. OpnSense and XigmaNAS, for example, are two excellent FreeBSD based applications aimed at firewalling/security and NAS/services. https://opnsense.org/ https://xigmanas.com/xnaswp/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Switches That You Actually Own

  For switches? OpenWrt supports a few models toward the lower end, and SONiC support a bunch at the higher-end datacenter ToR market, but none of these options are SME production-ready like Linux servers or OPNsense firewalls. Source: about 1 year ago

• Having to pay postage to ship back a DoA product sucks from a customer perspective

  That’s a stupid policy, and it looks like one of my UDMs is defective. I’m an idiot for not just buying good quality open boxes and putting https://opnsense.org/ on them. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Source: about 1 year ago
