Ruby Receptionists

Let's see, rep misinformed me that if I have Google Voice (GV) then perhaps a very portion of the calls would not connect. After the switch, it became clear that 30-40% of calls were being dropped or not connecting. Solution they proposed was to port over my GV number to Ruby. I did that and quickly found out that I can't use the Ruby app properly as it does not sync up well with Clio. Apparently there is a limitation on how many contacts I can sync up with their platform. Have no idea why they have a limit.

Core Values not being practiced! I am going to a Dr who I recently gave 5 stars to for his excellent service. Unfortunately, today, I had an interaction with this answering service that my Doctor's office is using and it was the worst experience! I called to reach my Dr regarding an order that was supposed to be shipped to me 10 days ago. I was frustrated because I can't get a callback.

I reached out to them using their own chat service to request information on receptionist and chat services for legal services. The rep was very nice but refused to pass along my information without a phone number. I provided it, but asked specifically that they not call me unless we scheduled a phone call. I was lead to believe they'd transfer the chat. After no response for 5-8 minutes I read the chat again where essentially I was told they'd get back to me at some vague future time. About 4-5 hours later I received a call from Oregon on my cell which I picked up, the sales guy didn't know how he got my information, and appeared confused and uninvolved. I could go on but the bottom line is: if they can't use their own services effectively how do they expect us to trust our businesses with their services?!?

I signed up with this company and was billed for dates of service spanning 2 weeks prior to joining. They behaved like it was okay to bill me for time that I was not signed up with them. They answered my phone 3 times and once the call went to voicemail. I do not recommend this company.

This company has consistently treated me and my patients with professionalism and a friendly attitude. My patients really like calling in. Their customer service was super receptive to helping me word my business's script to avoid any confusions. When covid 19 hit and my business took a major hit, they were super polite about my needing to pause their services. They even waved the fees involved. At no time was my super-small business treated like a burden or like it didn't matter. At no time were my patients greeted by people who didn't speak English well, didn't seem interested in their job, or were too distracted by background voices to hear the patient. I'm really impressed with them.

They get you with the initial price you are comfortable with but they do not take care of the small business owner. Their raised yearly prices are blamed on other features. I will say their service has been dependable but we are never given a choice to opt out of their increases. NOT HAPPY with their constant raising of prices.

Ruby claims to be higher quality answering service, and charges more per minute for such claims. We record all of our calls and track every minute the call went to their services. We started receiving extremely high bills from them and referred to our internal call tracking system. We found that they we putting 90% of our callers on hold the minute they pick up the phone, which to me is a terrible client experience from the start. They were charging for all of this hold time. They we also charging us for more minutes than they were on the phone.

I have used this company for years and years and years, and thought I was always happy with them to the point where I was no longer running tests of my own. Trying to demonstrate the service to a friend, I made a test call. To my surprise, after a long ring time, I was placed on hold, waited some more, and then got a receptionist. To my MUCH GREATER surprise, after some followup with Ruby, I realized I was being billed for not only the receptionist time, but the RINGING and the HOLD TIME. This is wildly unethical. I have used Ruby for a long, long time, but I think a breakup might be imminent. Very unfortunate and rather unethical business practices.

I hired this company. They used to be good, now they grow a lil in size and their customer service drops. My customer called me to speak with me, the call was not transferred to me. It drops, and guess what? Call Ruby has zero information to provide me regarding that customer. Stay away, SUPER RIPOFF COMPANY. STAY AWAY. DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU. I AM A VERY UNHAPPY ANGRY CUSTOMER.

The voice on the service was easy to listen to. Real calm and polite. I think that helps with that kind of service. Also helps that the person was able to answer questions that people had. Answering all the questions I had and really understanding me. Then having the correct answer. The person not being of middle eastern background helped because I can't understand them. Their hours were great and they didn't seem to have downtime that would have affected our business. They were always on time and ready to work at any given time.
