RingCentral on the iPhone

RingCentral just released an iPhone application that gives you access to some of their services.

The app is free, and you need to have a RingCentral account to use it. It allows you to use your iPhone to make calls, and to make your business phone number (i.e. RingCentral phone number) show in the caller ID instead of your personal phone number on your iPhone.

This is a nice feature for a small business owner, but unfortunately, it doesn’t allow you to use some of the other cool features of a virtual phone system like RingCentral such as:

• Auto receptionist
• Company greeting and hold music
• Multiple extensions
• Dial by name directory
• Call routing to existing landline and mobile phone numbers
• Multiple voicemail boxes
• Internet fax

What I think would be extremely useful is if they allowed me to get into my Admin Panel and access things like Call Logs, Answering Rules and other things.

I’m hoping since they have added the iPhone app, they have plans to add capabilities like this in the future!

Update: I grabbed some new screen shots for the new version of the RingCentral iPhone app:

They’ve added a couple of new features as well – they made it easier to use your Ring Central number as the dialing number that shows up in the caller id when you call from your iPhone, and you can add a personal message (voice) before forwarding a voice mail or fax.
