Setting-up
Upon testing the service for residential use, we discovered that the process of set-up was fast and simple. The company sent the following hardware: a port for Ethernet and internet, two phone lines, and a pre-configured adapter. The process is guided by an instructional brochure which tells you how to hook it to a phone and how to connect it online.
The interface of 1-VoIP is simple and easy to understand at first use. All the important information such as username, phone number, billing information, and customer help is listed in your Accounts page. Also listed is the option to add toll-free or virtual numbers.
Features such as E99 (emergency number), call history, voice-mail, and others can be navigated with the six tabs. This makes it easier to use. The UI of the application is also modern and updated compared to its competitors.
Calling
Calling with 1-VoIP is easy as important information is instantly seen on the interface. This includes the incoming and outgoing calls. Important information such as the total minutes of the call, caller name, call time, and date are displayed. These are arranged in either an ascending or descending order.
Other features such as call-forwarding and Speed Dial are also easy to view and to use. We find that their quality of call, technology used, and pricing make them one of the best choices around.
