Best for a business phone from a broadband provider
Lingo sells a cloud business phone along with broadband, 5G and managed security. The cloud phone page we read shows template placeholder text instead of plans, so no price could be confirmed, and only an iOS app is named.
Who Lingo is for
- Fits if you want your phone, broadband and security from one company
- Works for Microsoft Teams users who want calling in the Teams dialer
Who Lingo is not for
- Skip it if you need a price: the cloud phone page shows placeholder text and no plans
- Watch out: Calling for Teams is a separate product from the cloud phone system
- Not for you if you want clear app support, as only an iOS app is named
- Watch out: the pages we read look unfinished, so check details with the company
Why Lingo gets a 1.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe cloud phone page shows placeholder text and a $22.99 figure, so no price could be confirmed. With nothing on record it sits at C. Calling for Microsoft Teams is advertised from $10 a user a month, a separate product.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial is listed, even though the placeholder page has a Try free button.
- CFeaturesCall routing, an auto attendant, unlimited US calling and a central admin portal, plus Teams calling, SIP and analog line replacement. The pages don't list texting, a contact center or CRM links.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. A phone system with routing and an admin portal needs set-up, and the pages are unfinished.
- DPlatforms and integrationsOnly an iOS app is named, the BullsEye Unified Communicator. Other platforms aren't named on the pages read.

Keep Lingo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Lingo you would be making phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 42 of the 44 other business phone systems grade higher.
What you could not
- Phone numbers and calls carried over the phone network.
- Video calls.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Lingo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
