Trying RingCentral is truly an incredibly easy experience and one you'll find amazing. You can try the basics of the service without even giving them a credit card.

First I went to their web site (Try it Free ) and picked a toll free number, typed in my company name and my mobile phone and office phone numbers.  Additionally you can enter your email id if you’d like to receive faxes.  Fill in the easy to read anti spam code and hit start now. 

The next page lets you call your new number. This is where the fun begins.  The instructions ask you to call your new number.  A fairly nice sounding “text to speech” software welcomes the caller and reads the name of your company.  Very nice. It then gives you three options of getting sales, operator or sending a fax.

After this you can then sign up for a free trial.  So far, so good!

The free trial page does show you a monthly plan on it and an annual plan but underneath it Clearly states you  are signing up for a 7 day free trial.

With the trial you get

Auto-recptionist

• Multiple extensions
• Custom Greetings
• Answering Rules
• Call Forwarding
• Music on hold

Voicemail

• Multiple Mail Boxes
• Forward to Eamil

Fax

• Receive Fax by Eamil
• View on Mobile Phone

I’ll post a full review of my trial shortly. But so far I’d say you might want  to try this yourself.  RingCentral has been around for many years, I know these guys and there is no scam behind their free trial and it should be easy to cancel if you don’t like it. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
