Disabling call presentation (greeting messages)

[mazilo]

It is almost a year since a similar question had been asked as shown here, yet no efforts have been made to honor the request. So, here I go again.

Ten out of ten people who called my Ribbit number all said bad things about the call presentation provided by Ribbit. So, is there a way to disable or completely turn off the call presentation? This way when a caller calls my number, s/he will hear normal ring tones instead of the obnoxious IVR from Ribbit.

i would like to add that it has been this issue alone that has kept me from switching to ribbit as my primary voice mail and VOIP phone service.

as long as callers are presented with these greeting the voicemail and inbound numbers are of very little use to me. the service is pretty much useful only as a way to place outbound calls from a SIP device as it stands. please provide an option for callers to hear a simple ring tone. i should be the only one aware of the phone system being used not the people who call me.

thanks

There is no software development underway to make the Ribbit "Jingle" optional. The one way to bypass the default IVR greeting is to record your own "short" personal greeting ... the record beep will follow immediately.

Hope that helps,
