  1. It appears that the phones are not receiving the required firmware updates. Based on the information available in the RingCentral portal, these updates should be applied automatically; however, that does not seem to be occurring in our environment.

  2. There is a feature implemented in RingEX messaging which allows messages to be posted in threads.
    However, people sometimes still reply directly to the main chat.
    In active teams where several topics are being discussed simultaneously in multiple threads, this can cause confusion and defeat the purpose of using threads.
    It would be helpful to have an option to move messages to a specific thread after posting.
    The ability to do this could be restricted, for example, to the author and/or the team admin.

  3. We are observing an issue with the Hot Desking functionality where the user session does not properly terminate on the original device when logging into a second device.

    Current Behavior:
    When a user logs in to a second Hot Desking phone, call functionality is disabled on the first device. However, the first phone still displays the user’s information and does not fully log out.

    Expected Behavior:
    When a user logs in to a second Hot Desking phone, the first device should automatically log out and return to the login screen. This ensures the device is fully released and available for…

  4. Description:
    Currently, standard user extensions are limited to displaying either the incoming Caller ID or the Dialed Number, with the only modification being a numeric prefix. Advanced "Display Settings" (which allow merging a custom text label/queue name with the Caller ID Name) are exclusively restricted to Call Queues.

    Use Case / Business Impact:
    We have users with direct-dial numbers assigned to their individual extensions who need to see both the Name of the Line (e.g., "Ext 101 Name") and the Caller's Name (e.g., "John Doe") simultaneously on their screen.

    Forcing administrators to build a Call Queue workaround for a single…

  5. Provide users with the ability to selectively disable RingCentral Call Queue notifications/calls on the Mobile App specifically, while still allowing those same queue calls to ring through to their Desk Phones and Desktop App. Direct extension dials and Direct Inward Dialing (DID) calls should continue to ring across all devices, including mobile.

  6. Presence Sync is the critical bridge unifying RingEX extensions with Contact Center profiles. When auto-mapping fails, it causes a disconnect in real-time agent availability states across both systems, breaking the seamless UCaaS-and-CCaaS integration that defines RingCentral's value proposition. Ensuring a reliable, automated sync control in RingEX side also guarantees a truly unified communication platform experience without creating manual administrative overhead for IT teams.

  7. Allow Separate SMS Route/Recipient for Main Company Number and Auto-Receptionist

    RingCentral should allow different text routing for the Auto-Receptionist number and the main company number so that SMS messages sent to each number can go to different recipients.

  8. Please add a user-level setting that automatically empties the "Deleted Items" folder on a regular schedule (e.g., daily, weekly, or after items have been in the folder for 30 days).

    Currently, when I delete an item (voicemail, fax, or message) within the RingCentral app, it is simply moved to the Deleted Items folder. To permanently purge these files, I am forced to leave the app, log into service.ringcentral.com on a web browser, navigate to my messages, and manually empty the trash.

    Value / Benefit:

    Improves User Experience: Eliminates the redundant step of logging into the web portal just to permanently…

  9. Users currently must click "Next" and then "Send" to transmit a text message. This two-step workflow is unintuitive and creates confusion, as users often expect the first button click to immediately send the message.

    Problem Statement
    When composing an SMS, users naturally assume that taking a deliberate action (clicking a button after finishing their message) will send the message. However, the current workflow requires a second confirmation click, which is not always obvious.

    As a result:

    Users frequently believe their message has already been sent after clicking "Next."
    Messages remain unsent when users navigate away from the conversation.
    Time-sensitive communications…

  11. SMS Recipients should be increased. Currently, only one user can be set to receive SMS on the site level. This is very inconvenient. Also, Message-Only Extensions should be allowed as SMS Recipients.

  12. Request the ability to preserve and display the PSTN CNAM associated with a configured Substitute Caller ID number when calls are placed to RingCentral users or devices.

    Currently, internal RingCentral calls ignore the Substitute Caller ID configuration and instead display the caller's internal user profile or extension information. While this behavior supports internal directory functionality, customers would like an option to retain the PSTN CNAM of the Substitute Caller ID number for caller identification purposes.

    This enhancement would provide greater flexibility for organizations that utilize multiple business numbers and rely on PSTN CNAM branding while maintaining existing internal calling features.

  15. Please add support for Answering Machine Emulation (Live Voicemail Screening) directly on physical desk phones. While the RingCentral desktop app allows users to listen to a live voicemail and "Pick Up" mid-message, this functionality is completely missing from hardware desk phones. Our users want the traditional ability to hear a caller leaving a voicemail over the desk phone's speaker in real-time and simply pick up the handset to interrupt the voicemail and answer the call. Bridging this gap between the cloud app and physical hardware would drastically improve daily call handling for busy offices.

  16. Currently, the contact address fields are hardcoded to U.S. standards, displaying “State” and “ZIP Code.” For Canadian customers, these fields should automatically adjust to “Province” and “Postal Code” when Canada is selected as the country. This enhancement would improve user experience and reduce the risk of data mapping issues with third-party systems and imported contact records.

    Mr. Carlton Rance, owner of GroCORN.io, is among RingCentral’s early adopters and pioneering clients. He is also interested in strengthening the partnership with RingCentral, as future enhancements and implementations would be beneficial to both his organization and the platform.

  17. If a user is enabled for Presence Sync and the sync fails, there does not appear to be an option in the Admin Portal to remove, clear, or unsync that user from the Presence Sync attempt. The only action available against a failed user is Sync.

    For users in a Failed Presence Sync state, the Admin Portal should provide an option to Unsync, Remove, or Clear from Presence Sync, as successfully synced users can be unsynced.

    This would allow admins to clear known failures and prevent the platform from repeatedly attempting to sync users that should no longer be part…

  18. Overview
    Currently, RingEX Analytics Performance Reports and Live Reports rely exclusively on a set of predefined columns. To enable deeper operational insights, more precise SLA tracking, and streamlined troubleshooting, we request the addition of six granular metrics/data points as optional, selectable columns in these reporting views.

    Problem Statement
    The existing predefined columns combine certain call states or omit unique identifiers, which limits supervisors and analysts from identifying exact bottlenecks (e.g., distinguishing IVR navigation time from queue wait time) or cross-referencing calls instantly using a unique session ID.

    Proposed Solution
    Introduce the following 6 additional columns to both historical Performance Reports…

  19. Right now, the RingCentral app forces the main account name (e.g., "Zomak Medical Clinic Fairview") to show in the top-left corner for every single user.

    For multi-site organizations or multi-clinic practices, this is highly confusing. A user at "Griffin Road Medical Clinic" (Ext 301) shouldn't be forced to see a different clinic's name in their primary app interface.

    Please add an admin setting that allows the top-left header to display the individual User/Extension Name or Site Name instead of the global account name.
