hi,ive contacted the [removed by moderator] .. but i didnt get any response. is there anyway i can change my username and email for my number?

Is it possible to limit which Templates appear in Workflow Builder to the agents.  For Instance, the “SMS keyword auto-reply” template is one I’d like to not have available for any agent to use.  

I'd like to have some shared voicemail boxes made. My question is: If I have multiple lines feed into a shared voicemail box, will each individual line still receive their own voicemails in their voicemail boxes as well, or does that override it and they all go to that one shared voicemail box?

The Phone HUD feature work on some extensions, but not all. The only setting/ Phone/ General is on/off for HUD. I’ve toggled and restarted, but it still does not work.

Several users have reported shared voicemail messages are delayed by as much as 24 hours.  This seems to be a recent development.  Users state all messages are cleared, but then the next day new messages populate from the day before, some from as early as 10-11am.  Is this a known issue?  I have not yet opened a support case.

Over the past two weeks we have started receiving SMS messages with the message “help”.  The inbound numbers are random and very infrequently the same.  The majority of the numbers being targeted are not published so am assuming a bad character somehow retrieved them.  In looking through the SMS logs concentrating on Company Numbers I am seeing the inbound text and then an immediate outbound text to that very number.  These Company Numbers are only monitored by myself and am not responding to these texts.  When logged into the app as admin I am not seeing any outbound text.  Also, the admin account receives other texts but am not seeing any similar auto response. Any ideas why these auto responses are being generated?   Thank you,Susan  

What I’m wondering is if there is a setting that I can activate that will let me record a greeting that will play and then immediately place an incoming call on hold until I can answer it? While I’m currently on the line already?Example: I’m on the phone and the customer is speaking to me. I cannot interrupt them to ask them to hold while I take the new call long enough to ask them to hold while I finish the first caller. I am the only one here to answer the call though. So, I’m wondering if the new call coming in can be answered by Ring Central and asked to hold until I can end the call with the current caller and then switch over to the new caller? Hopefully that isn’t too confusing.

The previous fix I saw for this mentioned accessing the “Admin portal.” As far as I know, I don’t have access to any admin portal. How do I make it so I can send texts via Ring? I’ve been working around this issue for over a year by copying the number that send me a text and replying using the texting service on my phone.Since I’ve had Ring, maybe a year and a half, sending texts has never worked. Maybe this account feature is disabled for me or is this something that isn’t yet integrated into the computer and phone application (both don’t work)?This seems like a simple fix and my senior level computer programming twin brother says it shouldn’t be complicated to utilize a phone number to send a message, phones in fact do this multiple times a day. Thanks

We have 4 extensions in our office, all in same call queue and set to simultaneous ring. Problem is, one of the phones is receiving calls frequently that aren’t ringing to everyone. When the desk is not manned, how can we (others in call queue) grab that call without physically running across the room to answer it?

Randomly I have several numbers that the location is not the same as the others within the number range.  How can I update this so that the CalleID is showing correctly? For example 50 numbers will show Location:  United States, Boston, MA while two are showing Location:  United States, Brockton, MA.  When these two employees make outbound calls their CallerID is showing Brockton, MA as opposed to Boston, MA. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

US Account - Is there a way using Ring Central to schedule text messages to send at a future date and time?  We would like to schedule text messages to go out over the weekend when we're not in the office.  Thank you!

Call used to ring on the desk phone and RC Mobil App, now it only rings on desk phone.  Its been like this for a couple of months.  Is there a resolution?  I am mobile most of the day not at my desk and don't want the calls forwarded to my cell number because I loose the caller ID.

If I am using a third party SIP application how would I park a call?From a deskset there is a call-park button but from an app I need the proper feature access code.

Is it only possible to get call summaries if you take calls on a PC?

Hello, my Ring Central App doesn't ring at all. I just get a message pop up informing me of a missed call and voicemail is usually left. Sometime my phone lights up as if I touched a button then goes dark again, but nothing on my screen at a to show me it's ringing until it's too late.I use an i Phone iOS 10.3.2. it's a US account but I use mine in the UK when i'm on good/strong wifi. It did used to ring when I first had it but stopped a few months ago. I'm hoping you can help.

Ooh, those brilliant folks at RingCentral University have created a phenomenal resource for texting from the RIngCentral App!The course covers how to text from your business line, how to send and manage messages, and provides answers to frequently asked questions. You can get into it here:https://university.ringcentral.com/en-rex-u-communicating-with-textsLet us know what you think! 

Hello,I have a user(s) that I will add to an existing campaign for SMS access and the process will go all the way to “Setup in Progress” and then will disappear from the campaign without an error message or completion. Once I go back to check the user is not in the list, nor can they send a text message. 

We are receiving and paying for numerous voicemails to our 800 numbers that last for 10-15 minutes and no one is leaving a message. Even though we block the caller, they call again using different numbers each time. How can we limit a voicemail message to 2-3 minutes?

Does anyone have a step by step guide to configuration of a VLAN using unifi network hardware and ring central phones?  Using poly e350 phones, I changed the VLAN id to 10 on the phone, I believe I changed to VLAN id for the switch port to 10 in the unifi controller.  The trunk port to the unifi switch is set to allow all VLANs, and the unified controller has a DHCP server (enabled) for the given VLAN, i.e. 10, so I am at a loss why the poly e350 cannot get an IP address via DHCP, when set at the phone and the switch port to VLAN 10.  Surely someone that has unifi (ubiquiti) network equipment has figured this out?  Any help greatly appreciated.

I move from Ooma to RingCentral becuse I was told it was better, but one thing I can’t find is Notification when you have a voicemail or a missed call, it did always show with the Ooma app.

I have a question around the call status of an inbound call. We are testing routing calls from Twilio to RingCentral. In Twilio we have a list of direct RingCentral numbers, we would like to dial them sequentially. The issue is, RingCentral immediately answers the call and then internally rings the agent. In Twilio, that call was “answered“ even though no agent actually accepted the call, so it never moves on to dial the next number.We have tested this with standard phone numbers and the logic works fine, it is only calls to RingCentral numbers that have this issue. Is there a way to have RingCentral not accept the call until an agent actually answers?Just to reiterate, the call is marked as “In-progress” within RingCentral if the agent never answered, but it is technically answered from a call perspective as soon as the call hits RC. We would like RC to not answer the call until an agent actually answers/accepts.

This has been asked about in a few questions, but no useful answer has been posted.When connected to my car via Bluetooth, my phone automatically answers calls. How do I stop this happening?The one instance of this being asked blamed the phone/headset, but as it is happening on various phones and Bluetooth devices it would seem to be a feature of the app.

Is seems in the last month or so. The caller ID information for incoming and outgoing calls is using old information. From what we can tell, is its about 10 year old information. Almost like the database that RingCentral stores caller id names in reverted to 10 years ago.anyone else seeing this?

Is there a way to add additional names, nicknames to a user for to be used for the dial by name directory? For example the name Joseph or Joe has different first three letters but very common for people to call someone by both names. The issue is for name directory you can only find someone under one name not by both.

We have moved from Panasonic PBX to Yealink T-54W. We can still page to overhead speakers using an Algo adapter, but RingCentral requires the EXT number be inputted to do so. Is there a way to bypass the requirement of inputting the ext number, and essentially only pressing Page to successfully reach the speakers overhead?
