Each active VoIP call requires approximately 100 kbps of upload/download capacity on your Internet connection. So an Internet connection with 1 Mbps upload speed and 1 Mbps download can handle 10 active voice calls. In addition to capacity, you should also check the quality of your Internet connection.

You can test your Internet in advance or ask us to help you test to ensure your connection can support your communication needs.

WHY IS MY FIRST BILL HIGHER THAN EXPECTED?
Depending on when your services were activated, your first invoice will most likely contain activation fees and pro-rated billing for the first partial month in addition to billing for the following full month of service. RingOffice billing is monthly in advance so the following months’ invoices should be simpler.
I JUST PAID MY BILL. WHY IS MY BALANCE NOT $0?
Balance is a moving target since it can change minute by minute due to call charges and other transactions on your account. For this reason, we always recommend for ease of accounting and reconciliation to just pay the invoice total that you receive from RingOffice at the start of the month. The invoice contains all transactions from the previous billing period.
