*How we calculate minimum commitment. Headline per-user prices hide the real cost of trying a platform. Total cost of ownership is licence × seats × term, plus usage, add-ons, setup fees and any early-exit charges. Our "minimum commitment" figure is the floor of that: the entry plan's committed rate × the minimum seats the vendor will sell × the months you must commit to (one month at the month-to-month rate where there is no commitment; the licence price where it is sold per year). It deliberately excludes usage, add-ons and prerequisite licences, so your real first bill will be higher, but never lower than this. For Teams Phone the excluded prerequisites are the Microsoft 365 and Teams licences.

## Our review

Vonage's UK UCaaS is priced simply: Express £10, Core £15 (unlimited UK landline/mobile calling, CRM and Teams integration) and Max £25 (adds a VBC eSIM mobile number, unlimited SMS and WhatsApp) per user per month ex-VAT. It carries a 4.6/5 Trustpilot from 3,238 reviews (the best score of the majors), though some reviewers question that.

Against it: annual terms are the norm for those prices and early termination means paying out the contract; standard support is 8am–8pm weekdays; Ofcom fined Vonage £700k in September 2025 over a 2023 outage that blocked 999 calls; and parent Ericsson has written down over $4bn on the business, installed a new CEO in August 2026 and is openly in turnaround mode, which clouds the UCaaS roadmap. The VBC API exists but requires an approved developer account; no MCP.
