Detailed Messages Delivered to Your Inbox
Choose between having one of our virtual receptionists take a message, having the caller leave a voicemail, or offering the choice between the two.
Messages can be delivered via email and/or text message. All messages include:
- The caller’s first name and phone number
- Any other information you’d like us to collect (last name, email address, how they heard about you, regarding, etc.)
- The Caller ID name and number
- A time stamp in your local time
Each Ruby voicemail box includes unlimited voicemail time. Voicemail messages are emailed to you in a .wav (sound) file which you can listen to on your computer or smartphone.

Headed into a meeting? Would you like calls transferred to your cell today? Keep your team of savvy virtual receptionists posted by updating your whereabouts. Set updates for:

Whereabouts are just one of the ways our virtual receptionists sound like an in-house employee: “Bill is at lunch at the moment, but I would be happy to take a message or offer you voicemail.” It’s as if you tapped them on the shoulder while walking out the door.
