Best Small Business Phone Solution (alien.top)

I'm at my wit's end trying to find a decent business phone solution. Nothing fancy, just one user (me) with a dedicated number and a way to know it's a business call coming into my mobile phone.

I've been using T-Mobile DIGITs for my work line and it has been atrocious in every possible way.

I'm already using Google Voice for an old number I've owned for decades to push to my mobile phone so I can't add another one.

Any reliable ideas that are a good value?

Hi! I'm one of the founders of OpenPhone and though I'm a little biased think it'll be a great fit.

We can port your Digits number over no problem so you don't have to lose that number. Happy to answer any questions!

I've sent a message but haven't gotten anything back other than an invite to open office next week.

Was kind of hoping for something asap.

Microsoft Teams offers phone service. Comes in just like any other Teams call.

I’ve been using Ooma for personal and business, have been happy with them!

I can't believe the hell I went through trying to set this up. Microsoft said I needed FOUR services which came out to $40 a month:

Microsoft Teams Domestic Calling Plan

Microsoft Teams Essentials

Microsoft Teams Essentials with Phone

Microsoft Teams Phone Standard

What the hell?

Wasted two hours of my day just to end up canceling everything.

Did you have to use all of these subscriptions? Seems absolutely bonkers.
