What Do Customers Say?

Unhelpful and terrible

“The total disregard for our concerns and issues. The customer service is sorely lacking and I feel we were lied to just to get our foot in the door.”

Verified Capterra Review

“TERRIBLE customer support. Everytime I call I end up getting a call center in the Philippines. After 5 or so minutes of verifying account information and basic troubleshooting, my support tickets are never resolved. I was promised a call back multiple times, never once was called back. Please avoid if you value your time and sanity..”

Verified G2 Review

“We experienced poor customer service from Ring Central a few separate times. The people were nice, but the time frames they expected us to wait while they attempted to track down our connection issue, was a bit over 6 hours per incident.”
