Plumbing Company in Colorado, biggest day for FREEZE breaks in HISTORY and our phones are DOWN.  This is costing us FAR MORE than our Monthly R.C. Service charges!

Incoming and outgoing is completely down for us here in New Haven, CT. Unable to contact support and have gotten no notifications from RC whatsoever.

Yes, our entire phone system in CA USA is also down and cannot receive or make calls. Cannot connect with anyone from Ring Central either. Would love to at least be able to forward calls to a cell phone or something. This is unacceptable!!! 

Any status update? Or ETA of service being back up?

How does Ringcentral plan on reimbursing its customers for time loss during the outages? This is indeed a very dangerous situation for any medical practice. As a private psychiatric clinic in Houston this is a HUGE liability. We are literally working with people who already have trust and abandonment issues. We also have to address serious situations from patients who are dealing with side effects or prevent life threatening situations from occurring. Patients aren’t even able to get our notice that our lines are down.

They will tell you to fill out a form and email it in, like they don’t know everyone across their whole system was affected. And it’ll only be a few dollars. Welcome to RING.

Hey moderator, I’d say send out an email to notify customers, but you probably use your own service entirely, so everything is down for you too.

Our system has been down since 9.00 AM this morning, California time. Unfortunately, I am unable to contact Customer Service via calls, text or messaging. This has disrupted our work for today. We need transparency. Is this a simple technical breach, or something more ominous like ransomware? Any expected timeline for resolution?


We are a very busy restaurant in Key West, FL.  It is our busy season. .  I have people being paid strictly to answer the phones so they’ve been paid for all afternoon to play on their cell phones.  Seriously!  At least there should be an estimated time that service will be restored.

Our company is having issues as well.

When we call the main line from an Iphone using AT&T we get call failed

When we call the main line from an android phone using sprint the call went through.

Majority of calls are not coming through.

I haven’t bothered to check in with support. What are they going to do? “Yeah man, it’s down. Just keep refreshing the service status page every hour.” 

That said, ONE HOUR BETWEEN UPDATES?! That’s madness. Customers deserve more than a “we’re working on it” once an hour.

Still not inbound/outbound calls working, can reach support.  Does anyone have an update on the issue that has got through to RC Support?  THX

I tried forwarding to a cell phone thats not a part of RC and it doesn’t work (Tried for inbound and outbound calls). I also tried forwarding to an announcement to let clients know that the phones are down, but that doesn’t work either.

@sara-3 We are a cancer practice in Las Vegas...this is bad!!

This is ridiculous. Our medical providers and clinics can lose their licenses because of this. And then to add insult to injury the reimbursement for time lost is just a few of dollars? The cost for running a practice on a monthly bases is easily over $10k. Now God forbid this happened to an even bigger practice, practices or hospital. This is a huge liability for everyone involved. And the longest we’ve been out of commission.

That better not be the case. If we need to take legal action we will. Because this can not be happening throughout the year.

Anyone knows on how to forward all incoming calls to an outside cell phone number? We did a while ago, but lost the process.

All Phones down for housing community on the east coast. With the winter weather and possible emergencies at all times of the day, this can potentially be a major problem

Hi ​@ykishan unfortunately, that method is also impacted by the outage, so there is no workaround at this time. We’ll keep you updated as soon as a potential solution becomes available.

This is very interesting ​@jollerton - I finally got someone on the chat session, and I was busy working with some form of support for the staff here.  I wanted to also see if we could re-direct lines somehow, well it was acknowledge there is an issue; they instructed me to start a case ticket.  I would if I could however that doesn’t work either LOL
