• Easy set up: With RingCentral there is no fancy equipment to buy and set up is a breeze. Everything is done online and there is never any need for a complicated installation of countless amounts of phone lines because it’s all automated.
• You choose phone numbers: You can choose to use your existing phone number or get an entirely new 800 number or do both. The caller reaches you or a member of your staff no matter what number is dialed. Customers can even fax to you with RingCentral.
• Route calls anywhere: RingCentral acts as your personal switch board operator. When a call comes in the caller will have a choice of what department to get connected to. You know, ‘Press one for sales, etc,’ You determine who receives the calls by setting up extensions and best of all those extension don’t have to be in the same building; they don’t even have to be in the same state for that matter. Calls can be routed to any cell phone, home phone, office phone, hotel phone, you name it. No longer are you or your staff handcuffed to the office. This leads to greater flexibility and usually greater profits.
• Get messages and faxes almost anywhere: If you do happen to miss a call or a fax, RingCentral can have it sent to your PDA, your e mail, or you can check it at your convenience from any phone. Again you determine how this is to be done during the easy set up.
• Talk on your computer: RingCentral has an option that allows you to add lines quickly and without having to deal with the hassle of the phone company. It is called VOIP, which stand for Voice Over IP. You literally use your computer to talk through. You still use a regular phone but calls go out over high speed lines instead of phone lines. No one knows the difference as VOIP technology is just as good, if not better, than traditional phone lines and the sound quality is second to none.
Getting started couldn’t be easier and the best part about RingCentral is that they will let you try before you buy. On their website they offer a free trial so you really have nothing to lose. Now you too can look like a Forbes Top Ten business with your own 800 number. Once you get one, you will wonder how you ever conducted business without it.
