RingCentral Enterprise Review

COMPLETE REVIEW

VoIP (voice over internet protocol) has become the favorite technology when it comes to telephony. More and more companies and even individuals switch to VoIP, for several reasons.

VoIP makes a lot of sense for businesses that need to communicate on a daily basis. With this technology you can significantly reduce your costs, both in terms of hardware, installation, maintenance and so on.

VoIP functions via IP (internet protocols) which means you can even make phones from your computer and smartphone if you want. And of course, you can also use one of their various IP phones. Long-distance calls will no longer boost your phone bill and it is way easier to set up a VoIP system than a landline.

VoIP is also fast and allows you to send audio, video, images and text, which is another advantage it has over regular telephony. Team collaboration, HD video conferencing and real-time messaging are only a few noteworthy features offered by reputable VoIP providers.

RingCentral is one of the most reputable VoIP providers in the United States. It offers cloud-based communication services for all business sizes: small, medium and enterprise.

RingCentral is very experienced in this industry because it has been on the market since 1999. The company is headquartered in California, but has offices all around the world, in Russia, China, Philippines and other areas.
