Softphone

RingRx offers a browser-based phone that can be used for calls and texts.  The phone can be accessed from within the portal here:

Then select “Launch Webphone” button in the upper left

You must be logged in to the portal in order to use the softphone.  Log in using the same credentials (email address and password) that you use to log into the mobile app and the web portal.  The softphone is a fully functional phone and texting app that lets you answer, transfer, conference, handle multiple calls, text plus much more.
