What is RingOut Mode?

RingOut Mode allows you to take a call directly from your iPhone or from another location. If you choose to take the call directly from your iPhone, RC Mobile will place a call to your RingCentral number, where the RingCentral servers will immediately answer and connect you to the caller you are trying to contact. (Note, that your iPhone’s call log will indicate that your RingCentral number was dialed instead of the caller you are trying to contact. However, your RC Mobile and RingCentral account call logs will display the calls correctly.)

If you choose to take calls from a different location, RC Mobile will place a call to the location you select. When you answer the call, RingCentral servers will connect you to the caller you are trying to reach. (Use this option if you have poor reception where you are located or if you prefer to take call on a regular landline phone.) The locations you may choose from are based on your RingCentral Forwarding Numbers. If you would like to select additional numbers, please add the number to your Forwarding Numbers list.
