Frequently Asked Questions

Is Quo the same as OpenPhone?

Yes. OpenPhone rebranded to Quo in 2025. Same product, same team, same features — new name. All existing OpenPhone features, integrations, and accounts carried over.

Can I keep my existing phone number?

Yes. You can port your existing business number to Quo. The porting process typically takes 1-2 weeks. You can also get a new number instantly and port your old one later.

How does Quo compare to RingCentral?

Quo is designed for startups and small teams — simpler UI, faster setup, better pricing for under 50 users. RingCentral is built for enterprises with complex IVR, call center, and video conferencing needs. If you need a phone system that works in 5 minutes, Quo wins.

Does Quo work internationally?

Quo supports U.S. and Canadian phone numbers natively. You can make international calls from any plan (charged per minute). International phone numbers are available on Business and Enterprise plans.
