Voicemail Message Length

Over the last week, people calling me can now leave 10 or 15 minute long voice messages if they want. For years, there was a 3 minute time limit and the message would get cut-off, which I prefer. How do I go back to only allowing a 3 minute max voice message?

    The fix for me was to turn on: “Block robocalls on toll-free numbers” in the Admin account under Auto-Receptionist/General Settings.

    We have reported this issue to our internal team, who have noted similar reports from other users recently. They confirmed with the Product team that this behavior is not working as intended—voicemails should still be limited to three minutes.

    Additionally, they identified this as a likely new bug introduced in the recent 24.4 update. Based on the latest update from a previously escalated case, our internal team has linked this behavior to a known issue.

    For affected users, a support ticket must be submitted and tagged with the tracking number (RC-63273) for this known issue. This ensures that all impacted users will be notified once the issue is resolved.

    Hi Crystal - any idea when this issue may be fixed? My callers are still being able to leave 8 and 9 minute voicemails. They are legitimate clients and not spam, but clients talking for almost 10 minutes.

    This ‘known issue’ is still not fixed on my account and I am STILL getting 10-12 minute long voicemails.

    Also- will you be refunding your customers who were charged an extra $20/month for ‘calling credits’ when it was Ringcentral’s glitch?

    I am getting these as well. I just had another 14:27 blank voice mail and immediately after that, I got the $20 bill for calling credits. Over December & January, I received at least 4 separate calling credit charges due to these constant 14 minute blank voice mails. I too would like to know about refunds for these “overages”.

    When is the Q2 2025 update going to be released?  We too have users with very long (over 3 minute) voicemails.  I called support and they said the limit for voicemail length is 3 minutes and can’t be changed, but have screenshots of over 4 minute voicemails.

    For an update, the agent said that the “feature” will be disabled so that we will no longer get voicemails that are over 3 minutes.  This should be communicated to admins or able to change the time limit in the portal, which cannot be done.

    When will this “bug” be fixed??  We just had a 15+ minute voicemail left and are getting many over 5 minute messages still.  It’s incredibly annoying that this has not been fixed after reading through all these messages.  Now I’ll need to see if we are being charged for overages as well.

    @MDelong ​@jiggs This bug has been resolved according to our Product Team. 
    Since that is the case, I would encourage you to reach out to support and report this bug. 
    There might be a quick fix that Support can assist with and, if not, the Product Team needs to know so they can revisit the issue.

    Still happening. Received two calls last night from the same number, leaving 8 & 10 minute voice mails of background noise and typing. This is out of control.
