Fix Fax Issue Where Name/Company Are Automatically Changed After Submission
When form is filled out to address a fax to a specific person within an office, the system disregards the information input and changes who the fax is addressed to based on contacts/history.
It would be great if the system didn't erase the information so that my fax can reach the correct person at another business.

timezone
Trying to find a city in our time zone is such a pain. Can't we get the time zone options to simply display "Eastern", "Central", "Mountain" and "Pacific", like every other time zone config out there? The time zone options in Ring By Name, force you to try to find a city in your time zone. Would be MUCH easier if you just included, Eastern, Central, etc... in the list of options.

Eliminate fax contacts or MAKE THEM OPTIONAL
After filling out Name and Company on cover page and pressing send, the system often completely re-writes the information to an "existing contact" (that we never input or saved to begin with).
We often send documents to doctors' offices with various doctors, and they cannot give documents to Dr. A that are addressed to Dr. B.

In R! Admin > Menus / Departments AFHRS / User AFHRS / Phone Numbers sections add icons or text to know where calls are being directed
In R! Admin > Menus / Departments AFHRS / User AFHRS / Phone Numbers sections add icons or text to know where calls are being directed.
An older version of ringbyname had icons so when you selected 'Sales' You'd be able to tell if it was the department 'sales', menu 'sales', user named 'sales' voicemail box for user/dept 'sales'.
There's no simple 'at a glance' for understanding the callflow on this newer platform.

R! Admin Department Monitor / Unreturned | Add option to view Monitor details for entire business (all departments)
In "R! admin > Monitoring > Department monitor & Handle Unreturned" are both limited to individual department views.
Some managers/owners would prefer seeing the entire business' department monitor data. Adding an option in the drop down to select a department that includes 'all departments' would both:
-Ease company-wide report generation
-Ensure all unreturned calls are returned within the same screen.
Both tasks would be able to be completed without cycling through several departments and combining data.1 vote -
Call Reporting Basic [Should it include Outbound attempts listed as 'incomplete calls'?]
Customer would like to know if "call reporting basic" 'outbound calls' field can include 'incomplete calls' with 'outbound calls' combined on this account exclusively.
Some businesses need to know all call attempts. Others need to know only successful outbound calls. Currently 'reporting basic' only helps one of these groups of businesses.

Outbound calls are logged in only specific situations.
Changing Call Reporting Basic Outbound call's section:

Fax faxing / Enable / Disable Coversheet
Some faxes have unique data required by businesses who receive them. QR codes, bar codes, a unique initial sheet.
Having a mandatory fax coversheet can impact these communications.
Many requested a means of toggling it on/off. It would also improve fax transmissions by lowering the page count.1 vote -
faxes only available for last 10 days
Per CG, Many businesses rely on faxes and fax records, some aren't able to keep up with 10 day windows on inbound faxes.
Currently works via email fax copies received.
Can be improved with:
-increasing fax 10 day window
-a field for viewing faxes in call reporting advanced1 vote -
direct to voicemail transfer | Add voicemail greeting
The direct to voicemail transfer already works with grandstream devices using * * then the extension exclusively during transfers.
It also works for accounts that have it added by request where 9101 goes to extension 101's voicemail.
In both of the above cases there's no voicemail greeting announced. Just a beep. This can confuse clients. Often times those messages include afterhours, rules, or special means of contact for clients.
Voicemail greetings playing when direct to vm transfers are made is a useful feature needed.

For calls that go unanswered, there's no voicemail message option to play a message and NOT record voicemails/hangup.
When customers calls are missed, I'd like them to hear our hours of operation and then a thank you message. I don't want them leaving voicemails. It will lead to less call backs on our next business day.

Notification counts or push notification option for ringbyname app / Any kind of SMS notifications
All my apps have notification counts or push notifications, ringbyname app requires me to open it to see these notifications unlike all my other apps. It'd be nice to select enable notifications for faxes or SMS.
Currently SMS doesn't have any kind of notification beyond opening the app. An email notification tick box for SMS being added would help and be quick to implement.

SMS Blast Function / SMS Quality Improvement
Accounts using SMS with 100s of contacts bring the r! web app down to a turtle's pace.
Particularly when the "pen and paper" icon is selected creating a second instance of the R! web's 'contacts list'.Removing the slow down of populating the entire contact list again is recommended.
Additionally, an SMS blast feature is desired to send multiple clients the same SMS message.

Be able to attach multiple documents to fax
When sending faxes I can only choice 1 document to send. In the old system I could attach multiple documents and send. Now to send Multiple documents I have to combine them to be able to do this. It should be possible to attach multiple documents!

Porting numbers Faster process
Update to LOA form that allows online signatures E-signature to speed up the process of porting in numbers.
You can realize one day that you've been paying 2 companies for the same phone bill and be upset with both of them.
