RingRx provides customers with a convenient way to communicate with customers via text.  Below, please find answers to the most commonly asked questions about this service.

How Does Texting Work

Texting with RingRx is done by SMS (Short Message Service), which is the most common form of texting.  SMS permits text characters only and does not permit images, other than emoji characters.

RingRx messaging can be used between two RingRx Users.  Messages between two staff in the same organization is completely secure and encrypted.  Users can message each other by extension.  Messages will arrive from/to the username

RingRx texting can also be used to communicate with a mobile phone number.  Inbound messages sent to a number will be routed to the destination in that phone numbers SMS Extension.  This means that your administrator can setup many numbers that route back to one user, but that user will only be able to reply as one of them.   Texting to mobile phones is not secure, since we are not able to encrypt messages after they leave our system.

Texting can be done in the RingRx mobile app or in the Softphone, which is accessible in the User portal under My Phone
