If you’re planning on signing up to VoiceNation to make use of our live answering service, then you’ll need to forward any calls sent from your current number to our expert virtual receptionists.

Here’s how you can set up RingCentral call forwarding so that all your customer calls reach our receptionists, so we can provide the unrivalled standard of customer service that your customers expect.

2. Navigate to Users and then -> Manage Users
3. Select the extension you wish to set up for RingCentral forward calls

Should I choose conditional or unconditional call forwarding?

When setting up RingCentral call forwarding, you’ll be asked to choose between conditional or unconditional call forwarding options.

By picking Unconditional Call Forwarding, you’ll set up your system so that our professional receptionists will be your company’s sole customer support. All customers who call your company will be routed directly to our receptionists who are available 24/7 365 days a year to answer all calls that come your way.

Alternatively, if you just want assistance handling incoming calls, such as ones you might not be able to answer, then our Conditional Call Forwarding. Our expert team of receptionists can be connected with any call to your business’s phone after a set number of rings, meaning you never miss a customer’s needs.
