Questions
The fine print, out loud
How much does Talk Is Cheap cost?+
Three plans: Straight Talk at $14.99/user/month, Real Talk at $29.99/user/month, and Big Talk at $44.99/user/month (billed annually; monthly billing is available at a slightly higher rate with no long-term contract). Every plan includes unlimited US/Canada calling, free number porting, and free onboarding.
Can I keep my existing business phone number?+
Yes. Number porting is free on every plan and we handle the entire process with your current carrier. Most ports complete in 1–2 weeks, and your service keeps working on temporary numbers in the meantime — you'll never miss a call during the transition.
What is UCaaS and how is it different from regular VoIP?+
VoIP is just phone calls over the internet. UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) bundles calling with messaging, video meetings, team chat, fax, and integrations into one cloud platform with one login and one bill. Talk Is Cheap is a full UCaaS platform — the phone system is the foundation, not the whole product.
Do I need special hardware or desk phones?+
No. Talk Is Cheap works on the computers and smartphones you already own via desktop, browser, and mobile apps. If you want physical desk phones, we drop-ship pre-provisioned Yealink phones that work the moment you plug them in — but they're optional.
