RingCentral’s (News - Alert) DigitalLine VoIP

service recently won
PC Magazine’s highest editorial honor, the Editors’ Choice Award.
In its recent roundup review of VoIP services, PC Magazine rated RingCentral’s solution as an attractive, sophisticated and cost-effective solution for small businesses.
The magazine assigned a four-star rating to RingCentral DigitalLine in its VoIP roundup review in January, 2008, based on the service’s price, sophisticated suite of PBX

features, quick implementation and ease of use. The magazine further said that RingCentral provides a complete virtual phone system for small businesses.
RingCentral gives small businesses unprecedented flexibility and control by integrating landline, VoIP, cellular, email, voicemail and fax with a powerful Web interface. The company enables small and midsize businesses to have what might otherwise be unaffordable smart-PBX (News - Alert) features.
In the review, senior
PC Magazine reviewer Oliver Rist wrote: “On IP

telephony smarts and breadth of features, RingCentral outshines both Avaya/Netgear (News - Alert) and Microsoft.”
Rist continued, “Overall, the breadth of PBX-style features and the ease of use of the interface make RingCentral DigitalLine VoIP Service a highly attractive option for smaller businesses.”
The magazine reported that, in October 2007, RingCentral introduced DigitalLine, a proprietary VoIP service that adds the convenience and cost savings of Internet-based telephony to its virtual phone system.
“With DigitalLine, RingCentral delivers a complete hosted PBX solution for small businesses, giving customers the ability to use a mix of traditional land line, mobile and VoIP communications to place and receive calls,” the review noted.
RingCentral DigitalLine does not require small businesses to rely solely on VoIP. And, provides a smart way to leverage all available communications technologies in the most time- and cost-efficient manner.
RingCentral’s suite of online services combines a toll-free or local number with advanced call management, PBX, voicemail and Internet fax, enabling customers to set up multiple extensions with voicemail, automatically screen, forward and place calls, take voicemail, send and receive faxes, and receive message alerts.
