OpenPhone: Second Phone Number

Category

Description of App

TechCrunch: OpenPhone "makes it easier to get and use a business phone number. You don’t need a second phone, you don’t need to get an expensive solution designed for big teams."
Get a custom phone number (local area code or toll-free) or port your own, for unlimited talk & text, and powerful features to make your business stand out no matter where you are in the world. When you call or text customers in the app, they see your business phone number. When they call or text you, it's clear what's a business call, so you can choose when to work, when to relax, and always sound great to customers.
Get started with calls and text in as quick as one minute (yes really!) No hardware to buy or commitment needed: enjoy your 7-day free trial, and try out features such as:

HIGHEST QUALITY
We know that call quality and reliability are important to you and your business - after all, we use it to run our own business! We're built on the industry-leading provider of communication services, so you can be assured your communications are powered by the latest technology on the market.

KEEP YOUR PRIVACY
Keep your personal phone number off of websites and government paperwork, and avoid spam with a second phone number. OpenPhone separates your business and personal contacts so you can stay in touch with your customers easier. In the OpenPhone app, you can see all your customers' calls, texts, voicemail and more.

SET BUSINESS HOURS
Get back your nights, weekends and holidays, by controlling when business calls go through and when to send them to voicemail, for each day of the week. You can even automatically play one voicemail message when you're open, and another when you're closed.

VOICEMAIL TO TEXT
Easily see everything about a customer in one screen, including missed calls, voicemails, and a transcription of the voicemail for easy reference.

PORT OR CHOOSE YOUR NUMBER
Choose a local area code, a toll-free number, or port your existing business phone number from a VoIP phone service, google phone, or landline service. You can then customize your line to fit your business. This includes setting your availability, voicemail, greeting message, and more.

INCREDIBLY FAST SETUP
Get started calling from a custom business phone number in under a minute. Just download the app, pick a number, and start calling/texting!

MULTIPLE PHONE NUMBERS
Have multiple lines, multiple businesses, or just want more numbers? You can have as many numbers as you need, all easily managed within the same app.

Accessibility Comments

The app has gradually improved since I last tested it back in October of 2022. It is accessible now, but one thing needs to be fixed though.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.

Other Comments

OpenPhone deeply cares about the accessibility of their products. I tweeted at them back in October, and they don't take this issue lightly at all. If you have any questions, you can call them by using their phone number or by emailing the support team at support@openphone.co.

I am looking for a platform where I can give out a toll-free number to use for my blog for people who want to call me without worrying about long-distance charges from their phone provider.

Good news! The app is almost fully accessible! One thing, however, needs button labeling though. Other then that, it works well with VoiceOver!
