- [R2] RingCentral True Convenience: I find that RingCentral is one of the more friendly software programs for communication. It’s really nice. I utilize it for remote work. My patients contact me directly We communicate back-and-forth via text voicemail even email. I really enjoy it. Thank you, RingCentral.
- [R8] RingCentral Great service: Ring Central has many great features, and consistently creates new innovations. I really like that I can use it via my cell phone, and I can quickly transfer between a desktop phone and the cell. And having the ability to text is great.
- [R29] RingCentral RingCentral is a game changer powerhouse!: I love the ease and convenience the mobile app provides. Very lucky to get to use such a fantastic platform and highly recommend! The app allows me to use my work phone number on my personal phone without carrying a second device. I can take calls, join video meetings or webinars, and send SMS messages from anywhere seamlessly switching between desktop an
- [R63] LinkedIn Cannot Access Certain Features Unless You Pay: I can no longer extensively browse people through search because I have to pay in order to look at more than 5 people but I can't afford to pay for the monthly or yearly membership as it's ridiculously priced. I understand how Premium makes sense for the job application process but everyone should have unlimited access to the search capabilities.
- [R5] RingCentral So easy!!: We love our RingCentral phone service. So easy to use!! We’ve got 8 years with the system and it works perfectly!!
- [R11] RingCentral Good: It has all I need so far.
- [R24] RingCentral Good but need improvement: This is a good app, my work provide it for us. I receive calls and messages, I like the AI transcription of calls even though sometimes it’s inaccurate but helps a lot. The only thing that I hate really with this app. I work in healthcare and the app actually blocks messages that contains name and dosages of medications, literally blocks the message as if you’re saying s
- [R61] LinkedIn Not a robot: I haven’t logged in to LinkedIn in years. Trying to login seems impossible. The “not a robot” prompts are apparently too difficult for me to understand. Mark all boxes with busses. If a bus bleeds over to another square does that count as a square? Tried both ways and still I fail it. Try the audio version. Am I supposed to put spaces between the words? Try both ways and still fail. H
- [R3] RingCentral This app will get me fired: I love the app, I really do, but everyday my boss tries to call me unsuccessfully and he’s starting to think I’m unreliable. The phone never rings but when I open the app I find multiple missed calls.
- [R30] RingCentral No call notifications after last update: Was working fine but now I don’t get any call notifications when someone calls me. No ring or vibration either. I have checked the notifications settings on app and in my phone settings. No luck
- [R51] RingCentral Call delay: My company has been using RingCentral for about six years and their constant issues which the most glaring one that keeps popping up over the years is the delay when talking to someone on the other end. Doesn’t matter if you’re on Wi-Fi or cellular when making the call or the call is inbound there is still a significant delay, causing issues when you’re talking to clients, etc.. RC cus
- [R64] LinkedIn Once I paid, it crashes every time I open it: Once I upgraded to premium. Every time I open the app on my iPad it prompts me for an update. And doesn't allow me to do anything. I click update. Which brings up the App Store. Asking me to open the app. And it starts all over again, prompting me for the update. I've deleted the app. Reinstalled the app. I can do nothing on LinkedIn. Because all I get
- [R13] RingCentral Don’t sign a contract!: Their contract renewal period shows 1 yr, but the fine print says that if you don’t give 30 days notice, they automatically renew you for the next year too! No hope of reducing the number of lines either!!!!!
- [R52] RingCentral Service: Getting set up on the app and text messaging was challenging to begin with. There were a few extra fees that we did not expect. We finally met an agent that was extremely helpful. I wish I took her name because it made the whole experience worth it! I am really enjoying the app so far and look forward to all the technology you have to offer. Thank you.
- [R91] LinkedIn Bad app: Too expensive and doesn’t work even when you pay.
- [R4] RingCentral Bad customer service: I attempted to call them after hours, and they were unable to help me
- [R28] RingCentral Poor customer service: When you call in for support they barely speak English. They don’t set up your account correctly. They forget to record every call!!!! They blame you for not setting it up but they don’t cover it correctly in their setup call. You have to figure it out. The call notes turn off and on by itself. You have to monitor your account like a hawk! They add texting! You try to cancel
- [R56] RingCentral Tech support fantastic: Efficient, effective and professional. The best!!!
- [R97] LinkedIn Customer Service about hacked Account: I tried to Get my account back multiple times after finding out my account was Hijacked and now being impersonated, And now the LinkedIn customer service is just ignoring my plead, so if this doesn’t get resolved or have my Number Changed to my Actual number 1386, I Will personally File a Lawsuit For Discrimination Against My Data
