A Google Voice Alternative with a Full Phone Menu
Google Voice is an add-on to Google Workspace, and its Starter plan doesn’t include an auto attendant or ring groups. Telonium is a complete phone system for $24.95 per user a month, with a phone menu, call groups, queues, desk phones that arrive set up, and a real person on our US-based team when you call.

Yes. Telonium is a complete business phone system from the first user: a phone menu, call groups and queues, toll-free numbers and desk phones that arrive set up, with no Google Workspace needed. And when you call us, a real person on our US-based team answers.
Is Google Voice cheaper than Telonium?
Not once you add what a business phone system needs. Google lists Voice Starter at $10 per user a month for up to 10 users, Standard at $20 and Premier at $30, plus a Google Workspace plan billed separately (checked November 14, 2026), and the auto attendant and ring groups start with Standard. Telonium is $24.95 per user a month with both included and nothing else to buy.
Does Telonium work with Gmail?
Yes. Voicemails arrive by email in Gmail or any other inbox.
What is Telonium’s customer support like?

Can I keep my phone numbers if I switch from Google Voice?
Yes. Check your numbers on our Keep your number page and sign the porting authorization online ($10 per number, one time). You keep using Google Voice until the move is finished, usually one to two weeks, so callers never notice, and you can call us with any question along the way. Check your Google Voice agreement for any notice period or remaining term before you cancel.
