How Does Grasshopper Stack Up?

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Gary G

When Grasshopper first launched in 2003 as GotVMail, there were few other companies providing virtual phone services. Eight years later, that’s no longer the case.

With more competitors out there and businesses like Skype and Google Voice coming onto the scene, one of the questions we get a lot is “How is Grasshopper different?

There are a lot of sites out there that can help you compare virtual phone providers but due to the fact we get so many searches and tweets about it, we figured we’d put it on the Grasshopper site for you.

Check out our “Compare Grasshopper” page to find out what makes Grasshopper different, how a virtual phone can help you and if you have questions, feel free to leave a comment, tweet us @grasshopper or talk to our 24×7 support team at 800-820-8210.

Six Feet of Snow? No Problem with a Virtual PBX

Posted on February 10, 2010 by Gary G

snow-stormAs the half the United States becomes inundated with snow today, offices across the country become empty and productivity is lost.

With today’s technology, many people can work from home using a computer and VPN with no problem but what about those important phone calls? Support, sales, etc.

Can you really afford to miss one, two, five days because of weather?

The nice thing about a virtual PBX is that you can forward calls to ANY number on ANY phone. We say it all the time but it really is a great feature for any business.

An employee simply has to log into your Grashopper account and change their call forwarding number to their home or cell phone. All those calls you could potentially be missing are avoided and the employee doesn’t have to worry about giving clients their personal phone number.

As a business, being able to ensure your customers can reach you and no important calls are missed, despite what is happening with mother nature, is a great feeling.
