Calls

Are calls to Northern Ireland regarded as national calls?

Yes, calls to Northern Ireland are national calls, so the same rule of 59 minutes-per-call applies.

Be careful not to use the international prefix 0044 - or you'll be charged at the international rate. If you have an international add on, using the 0044 prefix will cause the minutes to be consumed from your allowance.

{{feedbackMessage}}

Is Broadband Voice impacted during power or broadband outages?

Broadband Voice will be unavailable during electricity or broadband service outages as the voice service is provided over broadband.

It is really important that you keep your mobile phone powered up to ensure you have access to voice and in particular emergency service calls using 999 or 112 if there is a power or broadband outage.

You may also consider purchasing a back-up battery service. We recommend purchasing online or if you look for information in our retail store our staff can direct you how to purchase a back-up battery service to support your business broadband or mobile service.

{{feedbackMessage}}

How are my phone services (e.g. monitored alarms) impacted by Broadband Voice?

Vodafone’s Broadband Voice services do not support any of the services below:

  1. Monitored house alarm systems
  2. Panic/medical alarm services
  3. Sky box pre-2008
  4. Fax lines/machines
  5. Any bank service machine that relies on an analogue connection (using dial-up equipment) 

However, the majority of newer monitored alarm systems use a GSM (SIM card) solution to connect to the monitoring station and do not require a traditional landline.

If your system still uses a landline, you can contact your alarm provider to upgrade to a GSM solution. This will enable the alarm to be monitored over the mobile network using a SIM card, replacing the reliance on a landline.

How do I move a number to Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral?

To move phone numbers from your existing phones line to Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral, there are a few important steps you need to take. When the numbers have been moved, it will take about an hour to take effect.

  1. Check the Letter of Authority is in the Customer Acceptance Form (CAF). This letter will have all your numbers you want to move to Vodafone. It’s important you pay attention to the numbers on the Letter of Authority and that you ensure there are no mistakes and that the numbers are complete with location (office address, not the billing address, if the billing and office address is the same, use the same address). Use the same office address for all users, even if some are ‘remote’ in your organisation.

  2. You will need to discuss the moving date and time with the Voice Delivery Team. Typically, you will find out this information after the software set up of Vodafone Business UC with RingCentral. If the agreed date no longer suits, it can be changed. Moving phone numbers can take place anytime between Monday-Friday, 9.00-17.00. We recommend picking a day between Monday and Thursday so that if there are any issues, these can be resolved on the Friday.

  3. On the agreed day, you (or someone you have chosen to work on your behalf) will be invited on a call where the Voice Delivery Team will work through the process. There will be about an hour while the numbers move over. The numbers will then become available on the number inventory page of the admin portal. (Note – you might have to log out and log back into the admin portal to refresh the content)

  4. Swap the temporary numbers for your numbers on the admin portal, as explained in the FAQ "How do I swap a number?". The users should then be able to make and receive calls. Users might need to log out and log back in to refresh their new numbers if it's not working. If you are an admin, don’t forget to install the app on the desktop for the best experience.
{{feedbackMessage}}

Do I have to be logged in to the app on the phone and/or desktop to recieve a call?

Yes. Unless you have a desk phone, you will need to be logged into the app on your desktop or mobile phone to receive calls. If you are not logged in to the app, calls will forward to voicemail.
{{feedbackMessage}}

Can I manage what rings first?

Yes, you can set up a ring sequence between your desktop, mobile app, and desktop phone in your settings.

  1. Log in to your admin portal and go to call rules.
  2. Select Phoneand look up My work day
