This company feels like a bunch of kids…
This company feels like a bunch of kids from Carnegie-Melon started it as a school project and just left it to some "AI" computer to run after they moved on to bigger and better things! If there's a problem, there's no (ZERO) human support - you have to speak to the friendly "AI Agent" named Jack, who is as clueless as "he" sounds stupid - it's like having a conversation with a moron. (And if there really is no "AI" computer and they voices are just fake overlays of people in the Philippines call center, well, even worse.) Even when you want to speak to sales you get some southern sounding lady AI voice which is all-too-folksy and cute, and just about as useless. How this company makes any money or gets and new customers is beyond me. Try it your yourself - call them at (412) 533-5533 and try to talk to that inane "agent" - you can not get a human being and the system is so annoyingly unresponsive that it's nearly futile to attempt to accomplish anything. Now some people may say "Well, who needs to talk, I like to chat online and take 30 minutes to accomplish something which can be done over the phone in 3", well, fine, but when something goes wrong and you need to diagnose a problem, it's a LOT easier to actually speak to a person instead of type endlessly back and forth. And before some perky computer AI agent tries to reply to this and say "Sure we have customer service - all you have to do is ask the agent and someone will call you back...", well, not really - they had a bunch of outages on New Year's Day, and when they were asked to have a human call back, no one did. It's really hit and miss with the callbacks. It seems they are basically telling you "We don't want to speak to you and we don't want to pay to have people, well, you know, actually -work- here, and we're oh-so-trendy that we do everything via "AI"and "virtually", you know...", to which the answer is "Yeah, I know, and do you have the passwords for the port codes so I can move my service over to Vonage or anyone else less idiotic that Voiply?" Basically, there are many other providers at their price points (which have increased by about 40% since we started a few years ago), and those providers have an option to speak with someone when something goes wrong, so why put up with the nonsense of Voiply's "AI Agents" and lack of proper support??
