Never miss a phone call…unless you want to.

June 9th, 2009 by Kristie Wells | located in Features | trackback

I used to hate not being able to leave the office as the client needed to call me back in five minutes. Or missing the call from my parents as they only have my house number in their speed dial.  Or heading to the mountains for the weekend knowing there is no cell coverage.

Those days are long gone.

With Ribbit Mobile, I use the FindMe First feature in the ‘Settings’ section under ‘Call Routing’. Once I click the checkbox next to the FindMe First section, I input all the numbers I would like to be contacted at, and Ribbit finds me…where ever I am.

My cell phone is my main ‘IN’ number. I then set up my house number and added in my Skype account for good measure since I sit in front of my computer so darn much of the day.  If I had an office number, I would have added that in as well (I use my cell for 99% of all work calls). When we head up to the mountains for the weekend, I can enter in the number of the house we rented. There is no limit to how many numbers you enter into Ribbit, it just comes down to how many ways YOU wish to be reached.

The house number, Skype and any other number I wish to be reached at are considered ‘OUT’ numbers (as in, calls come INto my cell phone - and then are redirected OUT to another number).

I also added in my email address so I receive notification for the rare times when I do, in fact, miss a call. Ribbit lets me know and then I can handle accordingly.

And for those of you who wish to not be tracked down where ever you are - you can uncheck the ‘FindMe First’ feature and click the ‘Voicemail’ box instead. This will set up your calls to route straight to voice mail if you do not answer, which can be just as nice a feature on certain days.
