I have used Nextiva for about 4 years now. My first experience was on their old mobile app, and the old desktop app. Which myself and the first company I worked for never really had issues. The downside on the prior versions was that the mobile and desktop app were not in sync. I moved to a new employer in August of 2022, who was using ring central. Right away my first experience with Ring Central was not great, the support was outsourced. And in all the account reps were just not knowledgeable. I contacted my prior Nextiva Rep, and he showed me and my new boss the Brand New Nextiva One app. We were blown away! My boss immediately wanted to switch to Nextiva, and EVERYTHING the Nextiva rep told me was exactly spot on. I will say that in September when the new app was released there was lots of bugs, but they seemed to always get fixed almost immediately. It’s now 6 months since Nextiva has rolled out the new platform and they have it dialed in and running perfectly. The customer support had some issues for about a month around December/January but ever since they realigned their customer service teams anytime we have ever needed support it’s been a blessing working with the Nextiva support team.I am now the hero in the office as I helped get our small company of 14 users over to what I would say is the best solution available.

I'll start by talking to Nextiva and what they do for me. Nextiva is the phone service that I use in my office and has been for the past 4 years. I got hooked up with them after my neighbor at home told me about their phone service. It was a much better company to use compared to Verizon and what my office had before. But what has been #1 reason why they keep getting my money is the app. I literally only make phone calls on the app now. I don't use the phone on my desk and it just collects dust. Being able to make calls on the app is crazy technology and unbelievable. I don't know how we reached this point where the desk phone is obsolete. If you are reading this and debating with yourself if you should get the app. Do it. The app will make you more productive. I compare this to how we used to think we didn't need a website, then we realized that everyone needs a website and it's the future and normal. I won't be surprised if all calls will be made on cell phones instead of office desk phones in the future.

Phone service with Nextiva and the app have by far been the most frustrating and maddening part of opening our small business. The desktop interface as well as the app are awful. I honestly don’t know how they could be worse. The app doesn’t seem to refresh, ever. There has been multiple times I will see a notification pop up on my watch for a voicemail or text but cannot find it in the app to reply or listen to, no matter how many times I refresh or log out/log back in, etc. And the app logs you out randomly, it’ll be a day or two and I realize I haven’t seen anything and go to the app and I’ve been logged out. With how crummy everything is I have zero confidence that I haven’t missed a call or message once I get logged back in. Also, calls ring through to my personal cell number and I have no idea how that happens. I’ve looked at every setting multiple times and chatted with support and still I continue to receive calls on my personal number. This is frustrating because I don’t always answer unknown numbers and my voicemail message is my personal one so I’m sure that’s confusing for clients when they call. I don’t feel that it’s too much to ask for this to not happen. We’ve started to look into other providers and I will GLADLY pay more for service I can actually use confidently and that doesn’t make me want to scream with frustration almost daily.

Do not open an account with this company. I am so disappointed with my service with them. I opened an account with them in December 2023 and I talked with Sales Rep Zoran Sulaver. All he did was send me a quote I agreed and made a payment. After that all I got was a receipt. I never got any steps to actually activate my account I tried calling them many times they kept asking me for more verification information of my company. We went back and forth for months and they kept charging my Card. Until April I was finally able to activate the account with a sweet tech his name is Mario Gamboa, he guided me with all the steps I needed to activate and told me the sales person was supposed to conduct with me after the payment. Once I activated my account I asked him if I could get a credit for the months I was unable to use he said yes to contact Billing. I called the billing department and they start gaslighting me that my account was activated from the beginning and they will not issue a credit mind you they can see when I actually had my account activated and when I had a phone number. I spent over $200 and had use of it for a couple of days. Very shameful of this company. I instantly canceled with them. I will not support a company who isn’t transparent and doesn’t honor their word or their customers. Please be aware of this company!
