Talkroute Omdömen 

I brought our company into using Talkroute a few years ago so that we can effectively communicate with our tenants. It’s been great for managing maintenance requests, lease renewals, and tenant notifications.

We’ve had a positive experience with Talkroute so far. The service has been reliable, the setup process was straightforward, and the support team has been responsive whenever we’ve had questions or needed assistance.

**They Charged Me Three Times, Ignored Me, Then Suspended My Account**

After many years as a Talkroute customer, I discovered exactly how little that loyalty meant when something went wrong.

Talkroute charged my account three times in a single month. I contacted the company about it and received no response. With Talkroute taking money from my account repeatedly and its support team ignoring my messages, I disputed the charges through my bank.

Talkroute’s response was astonishing: it immediately suspended my account and interrupted my service.

The suspension notice said that to reactivate my account, I would have to repay the full amount of every disputed charge, plus a $30 fee for each chargeback. It also threatened that multiple chargebacks could result in permanent suspension. In other words, Talkroute charged me multiple times, ignored my attempts to resolve the problem, and then demanded even more money while cutting off the service I had relied on for years.

Only afterward did Talkroute’s Head of Customer Success admit in writing that the company’s payment processor had experienced an outage on August 27. When the outage was resolved, automatic billing restarted and caused duplicate charges. He also confirmed that Talkroute knew about the problem and that refunds had supposedly been issued automatically.

Despite acknowledging that the duplicate charges resulted from a failure involving Talkroute’s own payment system, he did not immediately restore my account. Instead, he said he would have to “check with billing” about how to reinstate it. He then reminded me that I could have called their 800 number—as though Talkroute’s duplicate billing, its failure to answer my written messages, and the resulting disruption of my service were somehow my responsibility.

The final insult was receiving a cheerful email titled, “Before you go … (We miss you already!),” asking me to explain what had gone wrong. Talkroute already knew exactly what had gone wrong: its billing system charged me repeatedly, its support team failed to respond, and its policies punished me for taking reasonable steps to protect my own account.

Technical failures happen. Payment processors have outages. Had Talkroute responded promptly, apologized, corrected the charges, and protected my service, this could have been resolved easily. Instead, it chose silence, immediate suspension, punitive fees, threats of permanent suspension, blame-shifting, and bureaucratic excuses.

This is not customer service. It is a company using an essential business service as leverage against a customer over duplicate charges the company itself admitted were caused by its payment system. The sheer arrogance of demanding additional fees and repayment before restoring service is extraordinary.

If your business depends on reliable phone service, think very carefully before trusting Talkroute. A responsible provider protects customers when its billing system malfunctions. It does not cut off their service and force them to fight their way back in.

After many years of loyalty, I learned that when Talkroute makes the mistake, the customer pays the price. Absolutely disgraceful.

The main reason I started using the business phone system was to keep work calls and personal calls apart. During hectic days, being able to respond from my phone or laptop has been incredibly practical.

I had a weird use case and reached out to support expecting the usual script. Instead, they really listened and helped me come up with a solution that worked. That kind of service is rare. Big fan.

RingCentral was just too much for what we needed. Talkroute gave us a more affordable option with the same core features. It’s been stable, clear, and easy to use across our small team.

Switched from our old provider, now is way easier to manage, and the cost of operation is lower, all the reasons to keep using this service. Keep up the good work!

I reached out with a setup question and got a response very fast, very helpfull!

Before purchasing talk route I talked with them and was told I could use a desk phone. After my number gets ported they tell me no you cannot . So I told them since it is there mistake I want a refund and had my number ported back out to a company that you can use a desk phone. And now they refuse a refund. Because there policy is no refunds. They are a joke stay away.

the only reason it was used, because i had to port my number back out after you gave me miss information. otherwise i would of canceled right away.

I need a business phone for licensure issues but will rarely ever use it and I do not have a website established as I don't need one right now though I do own a domain name. I set up free trial but found you can't do anything with it. So I registered the account but to register it they require you to pay. then after you pay if you want to text you have to go through 10DLC compliance. Of course, you have to pay more for that. Then after you pay for that, TalkRoute requires you to have a website with a privacy policy posted on it. this is not a regulatory requirement, just Talkroute's but of course they don't tell you this until after they have charged your account. So now you have to create a website that meets their requirements even though you will never make any outgoing text on your account and only want it because so many people text instead of call. I don't market or spam or reachout to anyone in my business. I know have spent money for a service I don't have and will have to spend more for a website I don't want just so they can con people out of money. It may be a good service if you are just coming in and buying everything they want you to but they should really tell you up front in one web page what they require and how they operate. You know, like they are requiring you to do even though the regulators don't require it.

And read closely at least one of their 5 star reviews is pasted from an earlier one with a differen tuser name

We checked some major Voip providers but the companies had some hidden fees with them but talkroute was transparent with the pricing and the desktop app is really good because i don't need to pickup my phone.

My experience with Talkroute was very disappointing. During the free trial period, I was not able to make a single call despite trying multiple configurations and troubleshooting steps. After testing the service for 3 days with no success, I decided to cancel. However, to my surprise, they still charged me the full amount.

This company feels like a scam — they advertise a 7-day free trial, but in reality, you're charged regardless. Be warned: once you register an account, you’ll be billed even if you never manage to use the service. The "free trial" is misleading and completely useless.

Talkroute has been a great addition to our business. The platform is really easy to use, and it's super reliable. We haven't had any issues since we started using it, and our communication has never been smoother. It's definitely worth it.

The customer support at Talkroute is top-notch. From the moment we signed up, they were there to help us set up our account perfectly. Their team is quick to respond, super knowledgeable, and really cares about making sure everything runs smoothly. Highly recommend!

Talkroute was very accommodating in price when I needed two different numbers for my businesses.

We have had Talkroute for over 3 years and I could not be happier with the service and support. It is a cost effective way for a small business to have team members working remotely and to effectively manage calls. The few times we've had technical issues, their team has been wonderful to work with, and they fix things quickly.

They have been charging me for months even though I canceled my subscription during the demo phase they receive my emails and respond with I’m sorry but your subscription is still active. Can’t stand that they keep stealing my $ and email to let me know they can’t do anything . Been 6 months now of them charging me and receiving emails that they understand they I want to cancel but they can’t do it without my permission they have my permission cancel my account then radio silence from them.

Talkroute has been a LIFE SAVER!! We where using Grashhopper before and HATED IT! It was so hard to use and understand. Talkroute provides a super easy to understand user interface and easy to understand as well as set up calling options (which something can get super complex) They offer many many great feature like call queues, call transferring, call recording, different phone numbers and so much more. Plus to top it all off they have top quality customer support when you have a question. You can reach them by chat, email, and EVEN PHONE!!! Yes PHONE!!! We will be doing business with Talkroute for a super super long time!!

Talkroute is the only VoIP solution that we found that provides all of the features you want from a VoIP phone system and still allows you to use your existing cell phones without being forced to make calls over wifi or data.

I love having the flexibility to receive calls on my computer with their desktop app and take calls on my cell phone when I'm out of my office.

I am not normally one to bring my negative sentiments about a business online but Talkroute definitely deserves a bad review. The sales team is AMAZING. They can make you believe they’re selling you the solution to all your problems. When in reality they’re selling a half baked product that has constant server issues. We had multiple periods of downtime on our phones the month we worked with them. We requested for a credit to make up for the headache and lost time. They responded by telling us they don’t offer any support or credits unless the issue is ongoing for 24 hours. If our phones go down we don’t make money, we don’t have time to call/email support 2-3 times per week. If you need reliable phone service then avoid talkroute at all costs.
