Cloud Telephony: A Market Comparison
Josh Davis
Partner Service Team Leader
Cloud Telephony Comparison Disclaimer
1. Note that this comparison is based on information which was available on the Internet on 18.1.17. E&OE.
2. Pricing and features vary as bundles and packages vary and so you should check with the vendor yourself if you wish to use this information publically.
3. Services and prices sold through third parties e.g. Gamma resellers, will vary depending upon the service they have chosen to sell.
4. Ultimately this comparison is useful in illustrating how hard it is to compare services – which is exactly the position your customers will find themselves in. Therefore they will clearly need your help!
