Clicking Ignore Call or Declining the call does not stop the phone from continuing to ring

When I get a call from a call queue if I click "Ignore Call" on my desktop app the Incoming Call screen goes away and then pops right back up a few seconds later. 

Same thing on the phone app. Using an Android phone if I decline a call, it goes away for a second then just comes right back up. 

This is extremely annoying. Please look into fixing it. If I ignore a call, I want it ignored. I don't care if it's in a queue and nobody else is answering. If I'm busy, I'm busy.

Just chiming in to express how incredibly frustrated I have been with this nonstop ringing “feature” ever since signing up for RingCentral nearly a decade ago. I am the sole call queue member, and every time I decline a call, it just rings me again nonstop for the next few minutes.

I suppose the only reason I haven’t left RC yet is pretty much Stockholm Syndrome at this point. I have gotten so used to it that I may even miss the abuse when it stops happening.

PLEASE, for the love of all that is good, FIX THIS!

@apexballoons 
can you try the solution mentioned in the following post 

It doesn’t apply to simultaneous call queues, but it should work in your case since you have a 1 member call queue.

Hi All,
Just seeing if there is any kind of update on this?
We have noticed that even if a user is on a call via a call queue, they will still get the pop up if another call comes through to the same queue, which is obviously quite frustrating.

The only way to stop it is if the user has their DND on which seems like a cumbersome process every time you get on a call.

Many thanks,
Jacob

Hi Mary,
Thank you for reaching out to me.
Unfortunately, that isn’t quite the issue I am facing.

The issue is about the pop up from the call continuing to pop up even if a user selects “Ignore” on the call, as it continues to pop up regardless of how many times you select the “Ignore” option.

Is there a way to set it up so that if a user selects “Ignore” the call will no longer pop up at all but only for that user in particular? So that other users in the same call queue have the ability to still pick up the call.

Many thanks,
Jacob

This shouldn’t happen with default settings because queues check the status of the members. If a member is Busy on a call they wouldn’t get a pop up. 
I am guessing you either have call queue pickup or have increased the Max concurrent calls as shown in pic below

What Mary linked should work for a Fixed Order or Longest Idle call queue. If your queues are set to Simultaneous, then we need to check if there is a feature enhancement planned to support this. In the meantime the user should put themselves on DND or should toggle off Accept queue calls in the app.

Any progress on this at all? Our company policy is to answer the phone within a short period of time, in order for our employees to meet this standard successfully we have call queues ring simultaneously because setting it to round robin would mean an increased time the call is ringing in total, from one agent to the next. However, since we also help customers in person the calls coming through to their queues will ring over and over while they are trying to assist a customer in front of them. Putting themselves on DND has proven problematic as it is easy for agents to continue working after they are available and not taking themselves out of DND.

The expected behavior should be when an agent selects reject on a call coming through, they no longer get offered that call unless it falls to an overflow queue.
