RingCentral, a hosted telecommunications service for wired and wireless cellular phones, unveiled version three of its RingCentral Online service this week.
The RingCentral services gives users a local number and allows them to manage through a personalized Web site, the same phone features available through a typcial PBX system.
The difference is users manage their own phone number rather than relying on a company telecommunications manager.
The new features available in version 3 include Answering Rules which will allow users to schedule, filter and route incoming calls based on time of day, a date range or caller ID information.
Calls can be routed to various mailboxes, extensions and or any phone anywhere in the world. Calls can also be blocked.
Music On-Hold gives users the option of downloading the music
incoming callers will hear when on hold.
A dial by name directory is also available.
At present the service does not work with VoiP phones.
Prices range from $9.99 per month for 100 minutes to $79.99 for 2,500 minutes.
