Why teams look past PhoneBurner

Check two things: how you're billed and what support looks like.

PhoneBurner prices its plans per user per month.2

Two public reviews put it bluntly. One reviewer wrote: “Too expensive for what it is.”3 Another wrote: “Issues after issues and more issues. No human support, no phone, person to person talk.”3

Single reviews aren't a verdict, but they are fair questions to put to any vendor: what does a month cost for our team, and how do we reach a person when something breaks?

Power dialer or parallel dialer?

Choose the dialing style first.

PhoneBurner says its Power Dialer multiplies calls and live connections.1

A parallel dialer is a power dialer that calls several numbers at once, and Personnect dials up to five per rep. The rep is connected the moment a person answers, with the contact's details already on screen.

If most of your calls go to people who expect them, one line at a time can be enough. If your reps work long cold lists, compare parallel dialers too.

A short buying checklist

Price your real team, then test the fit.

  • Cost. Work out a month for the reps you have today, under each vendor's pricing basis.
  • Lines. Decide whether one line per rep is enough for your lists.
  • Records. Check where call notes, outcomes and recordings end up, and whether your CRM sees them (two-way sync).
  • Support. Ask how you reach a person, and how fast.
