OVHcloud Telephony: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

OVHcloud Telephony is the telecom range of the French cloud provider OVHcloud, sold in France. It covers VoIP call plans, SIP trunks and PABX (telephone exchange) services, fax sending and receiving, special and professional numbers, and pro SMS. A softphone called Softcall, IP phones and the Time2Chat messaging tool are offered alongside. The services are delivered as hosted telephony, and the same offer includes fibre and internet access.

OVHcloud was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Roubaix, France; it is listed on Euronext Paris. Telephony services are therefore contracted with a French-headquartered company subject to French and EU law. The telecom page does not state where call data is stored, so buyers should check the data-location and GDPR terms in the contract before using the service for sensitive communications.
