This is my original
review. To see the
most recent review of
GotVMail can be found
here!
GotVMail was my first
toll-free plan and it
served me well. I
have since switched to
RingCentral
and have been very
pleased with the
decision. You can
find out more about
RingCentral here.
GotVMail offers some
great features (some of
which you may have to
pay extra for) and
provides quality service.
GotVMail was created by
a
Babson College alum
and having worked at
Babson College for over
8 years I felt it was a
great fit for me and my
company
CollegeHelpers.com.
GotVMail is hindered in
that they do not provide
any toll-free minutes
with their calling plans,
but they do have prepaid
minutes you can purchase
to reduce the cost.
The trick is to purchase
a plan that will be
close to your calling
patterns because your
minutes will not roll
over from month to
month. They are
also hindered in
comparison to their
competitors in the fact
that they charge for
features that are often
included with competitor
packages. Their
setup fee is also
expensive in comparison
to other companies who
don't typically charge
to create an account.
GotVMail has 3
plans to keep it simple
