Koodos to you guys for trying to fill a void in this market, however, there are many other services out there that are way more cost-effective. Your pricing is insane! I personally can use something like Phone.com or Ringcentral for much cheaper ( Like unlimited minutes for $20 or under with even more features than yours ). As for usability, they are not hard to get started on either... Just my two cents, try drastically lowering your prices to get a good amount of people trying it out. Your primary target should be small business owners and entrepreneurs, and money is crucial for them, it's cash that they could save and use for things like marketing.
The speed at which the telephony APIs are moving is absurd. There is such a large number of under - arbitraged opportunities given the new low price of telephony APIs.
@datarade I totally agree. One of the main reasons for that is towards real-time and personalized experience for the customers. Something happening instantly is big gratitude and this can be leveraged by startsups at much lower cost compared to the past.

@jabrueckner One of the differences is how simplified the process is to get it setup and continue to use analytic features that simplify call management. We don't have any upfront cost or per minute usage, it's all under the plan. The entire product suite is simplified for to perform call forwarding from your 1-800 numbers, so you can focus on the business.
@jabrueckner As of today, we have text to speech feature where you can have the text as you wish. We do have the greeting audio upload feature coming fairly soon as well as professionally recorded greeting in coming week.

The website is nice, but way over priced. The reality is that most hosted phone system companies already provide toll free numbers and minutes above what you are offering. My company will give customers 2500 min for the price of your lowest plan, and it does not seem that from your service you can dial out as the main company number, people have to expose their cell phone numbers. Plus a long list of features that are not part of your packages.
Not to mention the complaints of call quality on the voice API services. Its not up to par.
Twilio and the like is a great tool to build niches in the phone space, but costly and cannot compare to what customers can get from hosted voice providers.
Wish you success...

@giannidalerta I was looking at that ... I use dialpad, cheaper better Quality, more features and DID numbers with services built in so it can roll to my assistant

@hgottfried Thanks for sharing. My company ActivePBX is pretty competitive in the small to mid level markets, but Dialpad looks to be well designed and the price - feature package is good.

@sololeena Super cool idea. I noticed the Home navigation link isn't functioning. :)
Hey everyone! Founder/Developer here. We did the frontend/design/backend/ of Route Relay and are really happy with how it turned out. If you have question on the product or stack, let me know! The backend is built on Node/Express/Mongo on DO and storing uploads/other data on S3.
The amount of work and tender loving care that went into developing, curating customer responses, and organizing all of information on the site is really amazing. I really think this is a hugely valuable resource for anyone starting a startup/small business to offer 1-800 numbers on their site, to drop a personal touch in developing long term relationships while managing how the employees gets to use the phone system. We have some great plans to extend the functionality in the near future.
