Desk phone to ring first before app

Currently, the app rings at the same time as the desk phone. You set the desk phone to sequentially ring after the app but not before. I prefer the desk phone to ring first for a couple of rings, then the app on my cell phone would be called.

    Jared, no problem, thanks for the vote.


    Jennifer, thanks for the info, I've added my vote to the other idea, and hope that others do as well. The main description of this idea pretty explicitly described the issue I'm looking at, so I'm disappointed that the two are separated.

    Hey @Keith Cocking, my bad, I misunderstood what you were saying. Agreed, it would be really nice to separate the two apps! I added my vote!

    Trash. I am so tired of the desk phone ringing and my cell APP when I am at my desk. Drives me out of my mind. RC should not consider this implemented.

    Jared and Jennifer, thanks for checking in, but maybe I need to be more specific. I can see that you can separate the hard phone (desk phone) and app separately, but I am looking for the ability to separate the desktop app (RingCentral Phone) and the mobile app. When I am sitting at my desk using my softphone, I do not want the RingCentral Phone desktop app and the mobile app to ring simultaneously. See the attached screenshot for what I'm looking at.

    Hey guys, you CAN set the hard phone and the mobile app to ring separately!


    You (or your admin) just has to select "Ring in Order" instead of "Ring all at once" in the "Call Forwarding and Voicemail" settings area where you re-order them. ;-)

    That's a good step, but as others have already noticed you still need to separate the desktop and mobile apps - I do not need calls ringing on my cell phone app when I am sitting at my desk, super annoying!

    This is great! Now if you could get the desktop app and mobile app to ring separately it would be perfect!

    I want my computer to ring first, then my cell. I don't need my cell going off every time I get a call when I'm at my desk.

    And suddenly, it appears that this feature has been implemented?

    All I can say is, as of right now, I can move our Yealink hard phones to position #1 in the ring order...

    Yay!!!

    This is NECESSARY! I have to use my personal cell phone at work, and it annoys me that my desk phone (which actually is company property) doesn't ring first. ANNOYING!

    This gets my vote. Please implement ASAP. Seems silly that it hasn't been address even though people have been asking for 2 years now.

    This was something I noticed when testing RingCentral. We go live later this month and I plan on asking about it in our live training session tomorrow. Fingers crossed this becomes an option soon!

    Another bump.


    There was some recent activity over here: https://community.ringcentral.com/questions/89714/ring-desk-phone-before-desktopmobile-app.html so clearly this is an item that needs IMMEDIATE implementation!!!

    My client asked for this ability recently. I can't believe you cannot configure your desk phone to ring first and then your mobile app. Seems this functionality should be a no brainer!

Ring Sequence

Merged
We should be allowed to chose the desk phone to ring first then the app/desktop as the overflow. The app is useful when your not in the office hence the desk should ring as #1.
