800.com pricing looks simple on the surface: two main plans, one starting at $19 a month and one at $49. Then you start reading the fine print and the picture gets blurrier. The monthly and yearly toggle shows prices in a way that is easy to misread, a help center article lists different allowances than […]

The 800.com vs Quo question comes up because both sell you a business phone number that works on your cell phone, and both will happily sell you a toll-free number. After that, they split.
