HopDial vs. Ooma Office
An Ooma Alternative for New Jersey Businesses That Want Hands-On Support
Ooma Office is built for owners who set up their own phones. HopDial is built for businesses that would rather have a regional team design, install, train, and support the system, with South Jersey served by our Greater Philadelphia team.

The short answer
Choose Ooma Office if you run a very small office, want published month-to-month pricing, and are comfortable installing plug-and-play phones yourself. Choose HopDial if you are a New Jersey or Greater Philadelphia business that wants on-site installation, staff training, integration with paging, intercom, or door entry, and 24/7 US-based support from the team that set up your system. Both let you keep your existing business numbers.
