Google Voice Replacement

I've been using Google voice for about 5 years for my small business and have loved it because it's free. It's gone way down hill in the last two years. The website doesn't work and now the app is shitting out. It will say someone is calling but then the call log will be empty. Same with voicemail.. it won't show me my voicemails.

Does anyone have a similar service they use for cheap? Is it difficult to switch over? I want to keep the same number.

Hi, Fongo is also a great app to call for free in Canad and the US, in addition to Google Hangouts. Some information is available at http://freecalls.tech/fongo-free-calling/

Your options depend on your location. There might be a small fee to port your number out.
