New Caller-ID features launched

Yesterday, we launched a cool new feature that our users have been requesting.  The new feature allows you to designate whether you want your RingBranch number or the actual phone number of the phone you are calling from when you are making a call through RingBranch.   An example better illustrates this feature and its usefulness:

• Say that "Joe" is a RingBranch user. 
• Let's assume that Joe's RingBranch number is 678-234-1234. 
• Let's further assume that Joe is calling into RingBranch from his mobile phone with phone number 404-376-0000.
• Joe calls into his RingBranch number, enters his PIN, then choses the contact that he wants to call.
• Let's assume that Joe choses to call Jill from his personal directory that he maintains on RingBranch.
• When Jill's phone rings, Joe can decide whether he wants 678-234-1234 (i.e. his RingBranch number) to show on Jill's Caller ID, or if Joe wants 404-376-0000 (i.e. his mobile number) to show on Jill's Caller ID.

One can change this option at any time from the MyProfile section of his account. Look under the "Making Calls to Friends" header and you will see the option to designate this. 

Additionally, we also offer you the ability to designate what number should show on your own Caller-ID when you Receive a call from your RingBranch number.  Again, an example helps to explain this:

• With RingBranch, you can make AND receive phone calls. So, if someone calls you on your RingBranch number, the call will ring through to the number that you have designated.
• Let's assume that Jill knows Joe's RingBranch number and calls it.
• Let's assume that Jill is calling from her landline in New Orleans at 504-222-0000.
• From within RingBranch, Joe has set things up so that any call to his RingBranch number is set to automatically forward to his mobile phone.
• When Jill calls Joe on his RingBranch number, Joe can decide if he would like to see Jill's mobile number on his Caller ID or if he would like to see his own RingBranch number on his Caller ID.

You can change this setting at any time under the "Receiving calls from friends" section under MyProfile.

Enjoy this new feature and let us know if you have any questions.
