What a phone system costs a commercial printer in Oregon

Commercial printing companies in Oregon average 13.7 employees, so the comparison uses a 14-person team. On a per-user plan that headcount sets the bill: $349.30 a month on Ooma Office Pro or $420.00 on RingCentral RingEX Core at list price (checked September 28, 2026). Callata comes to $279.00 a month for 14 users ($99 a month with 5 users included, then $20 per additional user), below both.

Over a year, that is $1,692 less than RingCentral for a commercial printer in Oregon of that size. Annual contracts lower some competitors' prices, so compare the plan you would actually sign.

Porting a number you already use in Oregon is free, and business texting is available once the carrier registration (10DLC) is approved; the registration carries a one-time $49 fee. Which specific numbers are open in a given area code depends on carrier inventory at the time you sign up.

AI agents are optional: an AI receptionist or scheduler can pick up when the team is busy or closed, take a message, send a text or email, or transfer the call. They draw on prepaid AI minutes ($0.25/minute), disclose that they are AI, and outbound AI calls require prior consent and are limited to 8am–9pm.
