Plan Reviewed: Office M-100
http://www.halloo.com

Pros

  • No activation fee
  • Internet fax and conference call features available
  • Toll-free number included

Cons

  • No free trial
  • $22.95 monthly fee

Conclusion
Halloo's Office M-100 plan costs a little more than its competitors and provides the same service. Halloo does not offer a free trial, but rather a 30-day money back guarantee (so long as you have not used over 100 minutes). The M-100 plan is slightly more expensive than many other PBX service plans at $22.95 a month.

The Office M-100 plan does have some good points that help to offset its bad aspects. There is no activation fee associated with the plan. In addition, all the features outside of the internet fax feature are included free with the Office M-100 plan. Halloo includes the toll free number with the plan at no additional cost. Halloo's Office M-100 plan ends up being an average plan.

Plan Reviewed: Office M-500
http://www.halloo.com

Pros

  • Free toll-free or local number included in the plan
  • No activation fee
  • Helpful customer service

Cons

  • No free trial

Conclusion
Halloo's Office M-500 plan is good for small businesses that have a relatively small number of incoming calls. They include a toll-free or local number in the plan which is a huge plus since most PBX service providers charge you a fee. One shortcoming of their service is that you aren't able to add single extensions to your plan. If you want to add more extensions, you must upgrade your account. Besides this cons, Halloo's Office M-500 is a reasonably priced PBX system for users who only need 500 minutes of usage per month.

http://www.halloo.com

Pros

  • Free toll-free or local number included in the plan
  • No activation fee
  • Helpful customer service
  • No double billing guarantee

Cons

  • No free trial

Conclusion
At $99.95 for 2,500 included minutes and 100 extensions, Halloo's Office M-2500 is a good plan for larger businesses. The plan resembles RingCentral's Business Premium plan, but it has a few differences. Halloo has no free trial, while Ring Central offers a 30 day free trial period. Other than that, Halloo's Office M-2500 has every feature a potential customer would want.
