What an "in-call audio ad" sounds like

As mentioned below, we are testing out a new business model in an attempt to keep RingBranch a free service.  When you call into your RingBranch personal auto-attendant to make a call to a friend, you will hear an ad before we connect you.   Likewise, if your friend calls your RingBranch number, he/she will hear an ad before we connect him/her to you.   

Would you like to hear an example of what an "in-call audio ad" might sound like?  If so, feel free to give me a call on my RingBranch number at 678 717 5001.  You will hear an audio ad before the call rings to me. This is a live ad so only interact with the ad if you are interested in the offer.  After the ad plays, this call will forward to my phone and I will try to pick up and chat if I am available.

As always, questions and suggestions are welcome.

Co-Founder, RingBranch

I certainly don't mind the ads being played when I initiate the call but disagree with having the caller hearing an ad before getting connected with you. This restricts me from sharing this number with business associates. If this keeps the service free, then we'll need to live with it. Otherwise, great service!

Hi Casey:

Thanks for your feedback and support; it's very much appreciated! While we've enabled advertising as part of our service, we're still trying to figure out the business model, so we will take your comments into consideration as we discern where/when to place the ads.

Many thanks for being one of our users!
