Nextiva

Nextiva is a business VoIP provider with a selection of very affordable plans. You can choose the Office Pro plan for $19.95/month per user or the Office Enterprise plan for $34.95/month per user.

The difference between the plans is in the amount of features each includes. With the Office Pro plan, you will get lots of standard features like an auto-attendant and a voicemail service, while with the Office Enterprise plan, you can get all of the basic features of the Office Pro plan, plus a selection of more advanced features like calling for remote offices and virtual extensions.

Nextiva also has plans for:

• Call centers: There is a Pro and an Enterprise call center solution, but Nextiva doesn’t offer prices on their website.
• SIP trunking: SIP trunking metered plans start at $14.95/month and unmetered plans start at $24.95/month.

Vocalocity

Vocalocity allows you to select from a range of different plans: the Unlimited Extensions, the Metered Extension plan, and the Virtual Extensions plan.
The Unlimited Extensions plan costs $39.99/month per extension. The Metered Extension plan costs $14.99/month per extension plus $0.03/minute of calling. These two plans share a lot of the same features like call forwarding, voicemail to email, and call screening.

The Virtual PBX Extension plan costs $14.99/month per user. The Virtual PBX Extension plan is a virtual PBX (also known as a cloud PBX) system that allows you to access your PBX system from any location because the PBX system is hosted entirely on the Internet. The minimum order for a Virtual PBX Extension plan is one unlimited extension and one company phone number. This means that the Virtual PBX Extension plan cannot be bought by itself, but must be bought in conjunction with another Vocalocity plan.

You can also buy phones, routers, and other IP accessories through Vocalocity.

Jive

Jive is a popular business provider with a wide variety of plans for customers with different needs.

You can buy an Enterprise plan from Jive. This is a plan for large businesses and corporations. Jive does not provide quotes for these plans because they are so large and so case-specific that it wouldn’t make much sense for them to give a generic quote.

You can also get a Jive plan for the public sector. These plans are unique in that they are designed specifically for governmental and public groups. Not many VoIP providers offer such a specific plan. Jive estimates that this plan will cost about $13/user. This means that, by Jive’s calculations, a public sector group can expect to spend $262,000 on a Jive system in the first year, and $128,000/year for every year thereafter.

Finally, Jive offers a range of small business VoIP solution so that you can find a good business VoIP plan based on your office size:

• $29.95/month/user for 1-4 users.
• $25.95/month/user for 5-9 users.
• $23.95/month/user for 10-24 users.

• $99.95/month for 15+ employees.

Calling with OnSIP costs $0.029/minute for inbound and outbound calls to a selection of area codes, and $0.039/minute for inbound toll-free calls.

You can also get a unique phone number with OnSIP for an initial fee of $7 and a $2/month fee after that.
