I Just want to take Voicemails !!

Hi,

Our company hours are set to 24 hours and we want to simply take voicemails at the moment when a customer telephones.

We have a custom message that plays when our number is called, but then the message just waits about 5 seconds and starts to play again.

There is no 'tone' for the customer to leave a message after the custom greeting plays.

In RingCentral back office, under 'Business Hours Greeting' there are 2 options:

Connect to operator
Disconnect

Neither of these are what we want! We simply want to play our custom message which guides customers to our online chat or they can 'Leave a message after the tone' so we can get back to them.

However, there is no 'tone' signal and the system does not record any message.

I know I must be doing something wrong but I just can't seem to find it!

Help greatly appreciated.

Bryan, just create a voice mail only extension and forward your main number to that.  Or use the after hours message that has other options and keep your hours closed all the time.

There are a couple of ways to handle your needs

The Message only extension is under groups.

Let us know if we could assist more

Thanks
