RingCentral Conclusion

RingCentral offers an excellent value for your money, as you get 700 free combined online fax pages for $8.89 per month, and if you prepay for a year (at $85.32) your effective monthly rate would be $7.11. RingCentral's customer service has made tremendous strides, and support techs answered all of our questions accurately the last time we tested them.

RingCentral's Fax 700 plan costs $8.89 with no startup or hidden fees. With your monthly subscription, you get 700 combined pages, which is far more than the Market Standard of 300 combined pages. RingCentral offers a 30-day free trial of their service.

Using RingCentral's online fax service is very easy; all you need to do to send a fax is enter the number, name, attachments, and click send. However, it does not offer a preview of a fax before you send. RingCentral lets you send up to 200 pages per fax, with a maximum of 20 MB per document. You can fax an unlimited number of recipients at one time. While you can send faxes on an unlimited number of email addresses, you can receive faxes on 30 email addresses. You can store up to 200 messages online for an unlimited amount of time. These options beat the Market Standard of 30 days of free fax storage.

RingCentral offers local numbers in 49 states and Washington D.C. They offer (866), (877), and (888) toll-free numbers free of charge, but (800) numbers cost a one-time fee of $30. RingCentral's phone support hours are 24/7, and it has high quality customer service. Although it may take a few minutes to answer your questions, support techs are very accurate.
