Do not use these guys. I was misdirected by a fast talking salesman who kept telling me he was with AT&T and that analog line were being removed within the next month. I signed up on a Friday. I called to cancel Monday morning, their customer service told me my order was cancelled, equipment did not/will not mail out, and they would confirm via email. No email. I called back Tuesday morning, only to receive the same BS. The following week, my phones were disconnected, and I had to connect their equipment to keep my business running. After back and forth disputing, I have AT&T get my lines back, and Ringplanet proceeds to bill me $150.00. Terrible customer service, unfriendly staff. Bad company. I would not recommend.

This company is the worst company I have ever worked with. They called stating they were from AT&T, my current company, and could save me many $$$, free phones, etc. Customer service was beyond poor, I called several times prior the phones being ported to them and they kept saying a technician was not available. Phone numbers were ported without any instruction on how to use the phone/s and the sequence of the 6 lines I have was completely in disarray. When I called again (a total of 8 times) to get a technician to help with the phones (no user directions included with the phones) I was told there wasn't one available and they would call back. Only to have them call back after hours (I am in Eastern Standard Time and they are on Pacific). Calls, if they were returned, would be at 7pm my time. Within 24 hours of receiving their service I immediately ported them back to my original carrier AT&T and am very satisfied with the hands on technical service and phone and email service from their representatives. ****CAUTION DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY*** Very unprofessional and rude.

RingPlanet (called my business and stated they were from Spectrum, the company I had at the time) and told me due to new laws with the phone industries they could save me quite a bit of money if I switched to VOIP and that I could save quite a bit of money each month. To make a long story short, I switched. They sent me the new VOIP phones. I called Spectrum to ask some questions. They stated they had ported my number out. I attempted several times to call RingPlanet, only to be on hold for almost an hour each time and never spoke to anyone. The new phones came in and we had no idea how to set the phones up. We worked on this for almost a week before we got them working. I was also told that my bill would be between $30-$40 per month. I got the first and second bill and my invoice was over $100. I called to cancel, (this time someone actually answered) and was told OK no problem. Then they sent me an invoice for $1,200 for an early termination fee. So now I've been misled about the company that they stated they were with (Spectrum), the bill was almost three times more than I had been told and get hit with this early cancellation fee that I knew nothing about. Two days after I cancelled, they were calling me again stating they were from Spectrum. When I informed them I was already with them, they stated the same thing as the first time and said Oh but your not on VOIP and tried to switch me again. Stay away from this. It has turned into a total pain in my rear.

No Pro's, just con's (RingPlanet is a CON job). First, they represented themselves as a Spectrum sub-provider due to a recent lawsuit against Spectrum as a "monopoly" they have in our market. Spectrum is now required to provide this opportunity to their clients. Of course this is all voluntary and you don't have to purchase a system from them but they guarantee their rates will be the same as Spectrum (or less). We bit the hook - their fees are NO WHERE the same but twice the cost by the time they add-in all the hidden charges. The service set-up was a disaster and we had to troubleshoot all our problems ourselves and/or with a Vonage technical assistant on line after we went through the "RingPlanet" technical support that could do NOTHING other than operate the software we ALL had access to. Hours of wasted time on cell phones with Vonage debugging the garbage RingPlanet sold us. The system is worthless, frustrating and nonsensical. We decided to cancel and throw this system in the trash after we lost 4 of the 5 wireless units one week after it was marginally functioning. RingPlanet has held onto our lines for 4 MONTHS milking us for fees along the way but the worst part was only having two functioning phones out of 6 in the office for 4 months, essentially crippling our business. Thank GOD for cell phones!

These people are abhorrent. I don't know how they sleep at night. They are the rudest most unprofessional people. It's almost impossible to talk to a human and when you do they are the rudest most unprofessional people in the industry. This is a con and if you fall for it you will be very sorry.

I am so happy I came here to read the reviews before signing the DocuSign Documents. They have been attempting to call me multiple times as our current AT&T provider, claiming they are changing our rate to basically half of what we are paying now, plus free phones from another company. All sounded too good to be true. On top of it all, they kept transferring me to another sales person to another one to another one. Well thank goodness for this site, to reassure me that they were full of a bunch of BS. When I told Jenny that I would like to review this information before I sign anything, she was very appalled that I wouldn't just sign it while she was on the phone with me. She then asked me to make sure I call her back on her personal number before I sign it because she would like to be on the phone with me. Well me and the owner of my company had a good chuckle about it. Good luck and I hope more people reside to doing their research before signing anything.

This company is not fit for a business. The phones (which we had to get through them) because "ours were not compatible" are horrible. They have no grip, they are always sliding off, no easy transfer buttons, you have to search through the screen for hold button, and all other options. In general they are totally not worth it. After a month of trying to work with them I still do not have my fax line nor my credit card machine line working. When I received my phones it took them a whole week to finally get my phone lines to work. My bill, although the lines are $10 lower, my taxes are $60 higher so I am not saving any money. Do not waste your time. I am in the process of returning back to my previous phone company.

This company has very poor customer service and poor implementation. They ported numbers that were not supposed to be ported and never were able to set up the system correctly. It would take long wait times to get through to customer service and many times the call was dropped before getting to a customer service person. I spent many hours working the problems and ultimately I cancelled the contract prior to the 30 day deadline. Even then I could not get through and called the sales office which said they couldn't help and I had to call customer service.

Their Las Vegas call center has been calling our business daily with harassing phone calls. When asked to remove our number from their call list, we are told they are not able to remove our number as the calls are automatically generated. They start the conversation misleading us to believe they are calling from our local service provider and will initiate the lowering of our monthly bill. If questioned, the Ring Planet employee has gotten defensive and abusive.

VISITOR/PROVIDER FEEDBACK:

Whitney (December 2nd 2019) : I have to echo Susan's frustration with their call center and raise this with "deceptive practices". "We have recently signed an interconnect agreement with AT&T..." "POTS lines will be phased out in your area before the end of December..." "You need to switch from your current system to a VoIP system immediately..." Two weeks ago I talked with an AT&T senior field tech, and they're not making any changes in this area for as long as they can get away with not doing so. I have a call in to AT&T's fraud department to report this deceptive call, and will also be calling the FTC. Oh, and I can't get through to RingPlanet on their published phone number - tried that first to give them a fair chance. After some number of rings it picks up, there is simply silence, and after a bit the call disconnects. Must be having phone problems, eh?

Kelly (January 3rd 2020) : I just received the same exact call. Initially stating they were with AT&T and the land lines were being phased out. I was transferred to a "manager", I started asking questions and googled reviews, which I brought the poor reviews to her attention. She immediately became defensive and snarky. Very deceptive and misleading.

Lillian (April 10th 2020) : Scammers
