    Whether you\u2019re working remotely or from the office, communication tools that make it easy to connect with teammates and collaborate are a must-have. And while team messaging and video meetings play a vital role, the humble <\/span>phone call<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>text message<\/b><\/a> are still the backbone of all business communications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    But if you\u2019re only using your phone to make and answer calls, you\u2019re missing out on some next-level ways to get work done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Here are five pro phone hacks that all <\/span>RingCentral<\/b><\/a> users need to know about:<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/a>1. Reply to an inbound phone call with a voice message<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Whether you\u2019re in a meeting or a noisy location, it\u2019s not always convenient to answer a call. But if the call came from an important customer, strategic partner, or even your boss, you might want to acknowledge it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    In RingCentral MVP, you can <\/span>reject an incoming call and reply to the caller with a predefined, custom voice message <\/b>or text-to-speech<\/b>\u2014all with the tap of a button. Here\u2019s how it works:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    When you receive an incoming call, tap <\/span>Reply with Message<\/b>. You can then <\/span>choose your reply from a set of preset messages or select \u201ccustom message\u201d to enter your own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    As if that wasn\u2019t easy enough, your caller can also respond to your message automatically. When they receive your message, they\u2019ll have the choices such as \u201c<\/span>Press 1 – to Repeat the message<\/span>\u201d, \u201c<\/span>Press 2 – to Leave a voicemail<\/span>\u201d and so on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
