## Reviews

### "Poor Support and Functionality. Best for small teams less than 10 people" — 2.0/5

> **Chris** | *3 June 2025* | Human Resources Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is very simple setup that is good if you are just one user and that is it. They recently are removing the enterprise option but this is what we used. Super simple setup though, no TCR application or managing anything just works.
> 
> **Cons**: Support is very lackluster, you cannot call anyone. All support is handled through the chat. &#10;&#10;Randomly and without warning, your account may be blocked due to them thinking you are spam and you are not notified. Meaning that you do not know for how long you were blocked for having to double check with clients. &#10;&#10;Does not support features like transferrring, recording or even downloading any voicemails.
> 
> I would say that overall I was very unimpressed with sideline. Having to support a team of about 15 users there was always issues. I also remember during November 2024 we received an alert that our service would be disruptive during the use in the presidential campaign.

### "Great product at a great price\!" — 5.0/5

> **Mark** | *25 April 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I'm able to text on my business line, and the price is excellent.
> 
> **Cons**: The call quality is sometimes not excellent. The number porting took some time.
> 
> It's an affordable, quality product for people and businesses that want to transfer or have a new phone number. You have a rich array of features to manage your phone calls. You can also use a desktop version.

### "Attractive Design" — 5.0/5

> **Hillary** | *19 March 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The display/interface is clean and easy to navigate
> 
> **Cons**: It used to be a free service and now that’s not an option.
> 
> I used Sideline as, like the name suggests, for a side phone or 2nd phone number. It was easy to sign up for and aesthetically pleasing to me

-----

### "Just want you need" — 5.0/5

> **Michelle** | *19 July 2019* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This works with iphone and android. I give out this number to business clients. The best feature about Sideline is that you can block people and they have no idea that they've been blocked, and there is no extra cost for the blocking
> 
> **Cons**: I sometimes get errors when using Sideline

-----

### "No need for a second phone" — 4.0/5

> **Psalm** | *17 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This has cut my client cost down greatly. I don't have to have a seperate phone. The phone quality has been steadyand the texting is helpful with rescheduling\!
> 
> **Cons**: There is this strange second message that you have to answer yes to for every call. I don't like the confirmation of the call button, but I understand it may help people who use there side line for more discreet dealings.
> 
> Should have lower price tiers for lower use
