What a surprise – they are not what I understand rollover minutes to be.

Rollover minutes are typically defined as any minutes in your monthly plan that are not used can rollover to the next month.
Not in RingCentrals eyes.
They say rollover minutes, but what they really offfer is just a one time block of 100 minutes that can be used anytime within your first year.
It confused me and nearly got me to sign up for something that is contrary to what i expected.
Shame on RingCentral

Single Number Reach as it’s called now (formerly PrimeLine) allows me to have calls go to multiple numbers at once, have specific callers go to voicemail. Allow me to check messages online. etc etc etc..

..big deal, just a big backer behind an old idea..

This is actually SLOWER than old fashioned dialing in to get messages. Why not just send the message as an attachment in e-mail, instead of just sending “You have a voicemail, now go get it.” This is unfriendly/unhelpful. I could save two or three minutes PER CALL if the original e-mail included the MP3 to start with.
