RingCentral replaces your local telephone service by providing you with a virtual phone system which can be used with a local number of any area code, wherever you are in the country. Since the virtual phone system from RingCentral depends on the Internet connection instead of the physical phone lines, local and toll free numbers can be used wherever the account owner is. This enables users to get a number which would cater best to their market. For instance, if you want to establish a New York image, even if you are in a low-cost office in another state, you may get a New York local number from RingCentral. You may get your local number upon signup, and immediately use it to make and receive calls. You may add additional phone numbers to your RingCentral account without having to get a separate subscription. Your local number is packed with all the features you need to achieve an intelligent and reliable phone system. You may listen to voicemails and read fax documents sent to your local number, and all call forwarding settings and answering rules apply to it as well. By logging into your RingCentral online account, you can easily configure the settings to your local number and how you answer calls.
