Have you looked into Vonage? From my dealings with them they are very well run and do things right.

I did. They’re competitive with other trunking services (VoIP.ms (probably the least reliable but maybe reliable enough), nextiva, twilio, 8x8). I, since the post, have pulled the trigger on Unifi Talk. I am going to add one more DID in the next week or so, and at that point, I’ll be paying $50/m for my entire business phone service*


*phone cost was not terrible. There was a discount on the phones when I bought them. I bought a 48 port Unifi PoE switch (yes- these are overpriced. No- they’re not necessary. Yes- there are switches with more/better features, but I found a used one at a 25-30% discount, and I was having all the problems mentioned with my VOIP before, so I wanted a managed switch that I could power cycle per port and was already using Unifi (and I’m not physically present in the office for 1.5 of the standard 5 day work week).
