When choosing a phone service provider for your business communication needs, you’ll want to look at a few key factors such as pricing, coverage, support options, etc.
How Global Call Forwarding Compares to Aircall vs RingCentral:
1. Pricing: Model and Rates
Aircall and RingCentral both have “per user per month” pricing. So, essentially, for every user, you will pay extra every month. This is without premium or add-on features, which can gradually increase your overall monthly bill as you scale up.
Global Call Forwarding charges per month, reducing your overall monthly bill and keeping it predictable. Per-month plans like these allow more people to access the products and features while paying less monthly.
2. Global Coverage
Aircall and RingCentral have coverage in about 100 countries around the world while Global Call Forwarding covers more than 160 countries. In fact, we can provide hard-to-reach phone service in remote and rural areas where toll-free services are not readily available. Many businesses use our Toll Free FlexDial solution to connect with their customers in rural and remote regions.

3. Responsive Support
Aircall and RingCentral offer tiered support options. The higher the plans, the more support channels available. Aircall offers dedicated account management and personalized onboarding from the second tier onwards and priority customer support only for Custom plans. The same with RingCentral; they also offer 24/7 support (unlimited chat and phone) from its second-tier plan onwards.
Even with user-friendly and intuitive interfaces, having dedicated and responsive support goes a long way in fast activation, quick resolution, successful onboarding, better understanding of services and products, and so on.
Global Call Forwarding is known for its reliable service and excellent customer support. Our global team ensures that businesses have the support they need, whenever they need it. With dedicated account managers and 24/7 technical support, businesses can rely on uninterrupted service.

4. Documentation
A lot of these providers can give numbers, but the subscriber needs to present an in-country address. However, Global Call Forwarding has long-lasting relationships with local partners, which means we can offer flexibility with regards to in-country documentation. In most cases, we can provide a lot of our international numbers with KYC documents from anywhere in the world.
Choosing Between Aircall and RingCentral
While both Aircall and RingCentral offer virtual communication solutions for global businesses, Global Call Forwarding may present a more cost-effective alternative.
When deciding which to choose, you need to carefully consider the different services and features they offer in comparison to the prices charged—and if you need all features included in the plan. Additionally, all three services offer free trials that let you test them out.
