I did a review for RingCentral [1] which offers similar features to TellFi, and honestly so far i have not been impressed by the features offered by these hosted PBX services.

I have found that many have clunky interfaces that were not easy to set up and configure AND once configured it was hard to go back and change something.

It certainly is nice to have a service that allows ringing multiple phones, and has better support for multiple lines unlike Google Voice, but for now I will stick with Google Voice for my business for the one or two calls I get, as it is simple to use and free.

RingCentral was nice in that it provided an iPhone application and made it extremely simple to dial-out using your 1-800 number from that application, but the iPhone app did not provide access to contacts that were already on the phone [2] and required setting them up through their system with no easy way to sync them (all of my business contacts are stored on my business'es Google Mail account, I don't want to duplicate that).
