A VoIP business phone system from RingCentral (News - Alert) is great for SMBs who want to get a large enterprise phone system installed but don’t want to break the bank. Many features a broadband VoIP connection can provide are sure to impress you and your customers.

 

A VoIP phone system runs from your office computer that is then channeled to your cell phone or existing business line. Forget about needing additional hardware for a new system or getting a special carrier to connect to your cell phone. Plus, each business can customize their PBX (News - Alert) phone system to fit their business.

 

Increase efficiency by improving the lines of communication. Never miss a call with call forwarding! Voice mails are sent to your e-mail account and if you have your laptop with RingCentral’s SoftPhone, listen to your messages over the internet.

 

Toll free numbers start at $9.99 in Canada and the USA. Plus what’s even better is that people can call your business no matter where they are, it's the same rate. Need a local number in a different town? Just pick the area code and you’re all set.

 

RingCentral can even add a free Fax line with your 800 number with 300 faxes.

 

You have four choices of phones to use with RingCentral DigitalLine. RingCentral Call Controller with SoftPhone transforms your PC into a fully functional telephone, your own traditional phone using an Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA) ordered through RingCentral, an IP Phone ordered through RingCentral that arrives ready to use or any unlocked SIP (Session Initiation Protocol (News - Alert)) compatible device.

 

The company is offering DigitalLine through three promotional plans in Canada and the USA.

The basic plan uses customers’ existing RingCentral plan minutes for inbound and outbound calling anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. Additional minutes are added at the set plan rate.

 

The standard plan includes 500 minutes of outbound local and long distance calling anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, additional minutes at 3.6¢ per minute.
