How do you answer and hang up calls from the Plantronics headset? We are new to RC and will be going live with the new phone system soon. I need to be able to answer calls without logging back into my computer if it went to sleep. I have already downloaded the the Plantronics Hub software and updated the firmware on the headset. This didn't help. Please advise. We are running Version: 20.4.10.284 Web, 20.4.11.2558 Windows

Why cannot i call Bulgaria? I have ticked its box in international callingThanks

We want to set up a 'office closed line' extension where users call in and check if an office will be open or not. If an office is closed to to inclement weather we need a way that staff can check the status of their office.

We are currently experiencing pretty choppy phone calls. This only happens when we have inbound/outbound calls. When we talk to other people on RingCentral everything seems fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?

RC Classic Version: 20.2.30 (E. 7.1.8)I am barely able to hear anyone on my meetings, even with my headphone, computer, and RC volumes all the way up. This had never been an issue until an update that happened yesterday.It appears that the volume slider in RC has tied itself to my computer volume slider. If I slide the RC volume to 100%, it is still quiet, but all of my computer noises are extremely loud (I have to go into the sound mixer and adjust system sounds to be lower).Troubleshooting steps taken:-Trying RC Meetings instead of RC Classic-Uninstalling RC Meetings and trying RC Classic-Uninstalling both RC Meetings and RC Classic, reinstalling just RC Classic-Toggling all audio checkbox options on and off

People call my RingCentral number have been getting this message all day. I am in Vancouver, Canada. I called into RingCentral and they can't fix the problem. Quite frustrating.

Why isn't the time out feature, user friendly? I don't understand why we are all pigeon-holed into the same security circle. Everyone's company operates on different levels/hours/time strategies. I would like to be able to configure how long the time out feature will wait before it kicks on. Or, at least another option (such as shut off) instead of the program being set at your standards. I am at my desk most of the day but switch back and forth on different projects. And then I shut down the computer before leaving. I am required to run call logs while I'm here. When I configure the call log and have to stop to check something else, it is a HUGE inconvenience to come back to my call log to find that I have been bumped out of the system and have to enter all of the parameters, again!! And then find out where in the log that I had left off. Please change this!!

Hello,This is a feature-add request. My organization wants to be able to identify cell meeting call-ins more quickly by name (not manually changing their name).All of our call-in people are RingCentral users, so the feature I am requesting would be for RingCentral to check the cellphone number of someone calling in, and if that number has been added to a RC profile, display the name of the person.Alternatively, if this is too complicated a feature, the ability to go into guest user phone numbers and manually set display names in RC so that when those numbers do call into meetings their name shows would be a good #2 solution.Thanks,

Can either the built in speakers for a laptop or the internal speaker in a workstation produce an adjustable ringer sound and not my USB headset when a call comes in? I don't always wear my headset and the ringer cannot be heard sometimes. Can the ringer sound only go to the internal speaker of a workstation, the built in speakers of a laptop or an external speaker so you know when a call comes in? Does this make sense?

I am trying to set up Call Handling to forward all calls from certain states (using area codes) to a particular extension. I know I can do this by adding an advanced call handling option, but can I bulk import the area codes I want somehow? One at a time, for over 300 area codes will be horrible. Thanks.

I know how to submit the update so our caller id name is updated in CNAM...but does anyone have any tips on how I can go about updating caller ID on other databases for carriers?For example, a few months back I resent the caller ID name per the instructions and now when I check the CNAM database, it's updated there...but when I call my cellphone it still gives a different name. (luckily the name is still something that makes it clear that it's the organization I work for...we updated CNAM to "BBB" but the callerid on my cell from various numbers show up as "better bus bru" , "Bbb ctrl dispute", "Better Business", etc. We have had most of our numbers for years, but newer numbers we have added from ringcentral will sometimes show old people/names even though they don't ha

I would like to have an option to be able to disable the Call Waiting tone when using the RC Phone app. I would like to keep the pop-up, but not have the Call Waiting tone in my ear when a second call comes in.

When my mobile rings through the Ring Central app. There is a great delay in the call being connected after answering. I have to say "hello" three times before I hear the caller. It is rather frustrating!

Is the RC for Windows Phone application going to be sunset and replaced by RC Classic (Glip)? I thought I remembered hearing this last year and wanted to ask if there was an update.

Hello,I we just got setup with a couple of Cisco phones and I setup some speed dials but they continually alternate between the display name and blf2649580228 or similar numbers. I tried to go in and delete the speed dials but when I do there is no information listed in the speed dial location? I have rebooted the phone so not sure what else to do.

I have a customer who has their reception phone programmed with two other phones to ring simultaneously in a ring group (those phones are the backup receptionist and lunch room). During the day there might not be anyone at these three phones so they would like to have another extension have the capability to pickup calls to their main number from time to time. They do not want this 4th phone to be part of the ring group so it rings for every incoming call to the main number. In the PBX world this was called Call Pickup or Directed Call Pickup. My customer is using Yealink T48S phones on their RC account. Has anyone figured out a way for this to be accomplished?

If i add a caller to a call using the desktop app, i will be on the phone with party A. click add dial party b, then after i prep party b for the 3way call i will hit merge and it will show I am on a "conference" call in the app.When i am done with part b i want to disconnect them. On the old ring central app i used to be able to do that and hang up on specific callers.I can't figure out how to do that in the new app.

Is there a way to set different notification rules for SMS messaging for after hours/weekends/holidays? Would like to notify the Manager on Call of all SMS messages that come in. We have missed a few text messages that came in Friday night but we didn't see them until Monday. Just learned how to "manually" set up notification rules to rectify the issue. Trying to figured out if there is an automatic setting so that we don't have to manually set this up every Friday.

I have windows 10 and after I tried launching the RingCentral desktop app, I get a force close. So, I uninstalled and tried reinstalling. Then I get this error: The cabinet file 'softphone.cab' required for this installation is corrupt.Help!

The ability to duplicate the default "all employee group" on GLIP would be nice for internal company-wide notifications that are of a different subject matter. Currently, we use the "all employee group" for IT issues only. If I want to create a separate group to notify everyone of events, for example, each user I want to contact must be input individually. This easily becomes an issue if your org has 100+ users and is hiring new people all the time (they'd need to be added on an ongoing basis, which is hard to maintain!).

A lot of our extensions are receiving a large amount of spam calls / fax. How do we block all incoming calls to the extensions, and force all calls to go through the main auto-receptionist line only? Anyone with success doing this?

How can you tell if someone is currently on a call through the app or desktop?

How do I remove the extension for my phone on the fax cover sheet? I want my office number on the cover sheet, but not my personal extension.

No audio notification from desktop app when receiving texts. Audio works fine when notification sounds are tested but no sound is actually made by the computer when a text is received.

1. Call comes in. 2. Front Desk Warm Transfers call to Advisor.3. Caller ID remains Front Desk Caller ID.We would like the caller ID to remain the original callers ID. Not the Front Desk Caller ID. I know a cold transfer will accomplish this. I'm requesting a feature to accomplish this with a warm transfer.
