OpenPhone vs Line2

Line2 is a second phone number service that lacks collaboration features. OpenPhone makes it easy to call and text as a team.

Why folks switch from Line2 to OpenPhone

Hundreds of our customers have moved from Line2 to OpenPhone. Here's why:

"OpenPhone's product is much more user friendly. The iPhone and Android apps seamlessly integrate with all peripherals and the connection quality is great. The desktop app makes texting customers super easy. From the moment we started speaking to OpenPhone about switching to their service, their team was extremely helpful and transparent, their communication was excellent through the entire switching process, and they continue to be helpful."

Chief Operating Officer @ HealthCasa Limited

"When I used Line2, clients often complained that they couldn’t hear me properly, or that our call would get dropped. After one too many of these problems, I started to seek out a new provider for my business line. The quality of the OpenPhone app is far superior to any other option I have seen. I am particularly impressed by how thorough their customer service is. I feel like they value my opinion, and are constantly working to update, improve, and expand their product."

"OpenPhone not only has reliable coverage (it always works), a simple and intuitive app and super easy number porting process, it also has, hands-down, the friendliest customer service I have ever experienced from a web-based service provider."
