3 way call
I want to submit this as a feature enhancement request- A GTC customer takes crisis calls from the surrounding communities they service and if need be they may have to transfer them to the local 911 center…. What they don’t want to do is put that original caller on hold that is in crisis while they try to get the 911 center on the line.. They state is requiring them to NOT put the call on hold it wasn’t possible for even a brief hold. Is this a feature that can be added?
Outbound Caller ID probems
We have had our GoToConnect telephone number for about 6 months. Our caller ID always said our business name, Probate & More. Recently, several clients have indicated that our caller ID displays "Oswald Martinez" when we call. I checked, and sure enough, that is what it says, even though our caller ID in the portal says our business name. I have called support multiple times to no avail. They say it is "our problem" that they have no control over the ID that comes across a cell phone (only land lines). This makes no sense since 90% of today's phones are cell phones. I am at a loss. I have had to BLOCK our called ID, which blocks the Oswald Martinez, but of course, now people we call do not know who is calling, and it is bad for our business. I am ready to look for another provider. I have used Gotoconnect for other companies for years and never had this problem.
A Billing Question: 3 licenses?
I manage a small office (2 people). We planned to have a 2-user system with 2 GoTo connect licenses. We got a Yealink cordless DECT system. I configured it with the help of GoTo support (who was great, by the way!), but now when I look at my admin console, it says that I have 3 (not two) licenses in use. I opened a support ticket, and was told by someone at GoTo that the base station would - in fact - require a third license. Well, that's a problem for me, because if I have to pay for three licenses, I'm paying more to GoTo Connect each month than I was to my previous provider. Is this really true? Do I have to license the DECT base station and every handset? That's not gonna work for me at all.
Employee Contact solutions Admin
Does anyone have any clever solutions for organizing Employee contacts? This is the issue we run into. We have several stores that have several employees finding people to call or know where a person is located becomes challenging. (New employees, people with the same names) To the point where I went in and changed each user first name to Location-first name then last name. This works but is somewhat of a mess and does not help our users that work remote or have no location. Previous phone systems we have been on we have been able to hit drop downs in the app of locations and then be able select a person off the location drop down. I feel like custom fields in the admin Portal is the fix for this, but I am currently only able to see custom fields that I add for Shared and Private contacts. I can only see the custom field I add to an employee under the admin portal. Furthermore, I think custom fields could be added to the search contact function where if several users have that custom field it shows up in search results. I guess why an option for User Groups available in the admin portal if you can't customize your company contacts like this.
No Billing Tab when behind on billing
When a customer is behind on billing the billing tab will disappear from the admin portal. This is ridiculous. It should always show so they can go back and pay past due invoice. Please keep access to the billing tab for 30 days after service is disconnected. I assume the account disconnects after 60 days, or 2 months of non payment. Please continue to turn off service after 60 days but KEEP ACCESS TO BILLING TAB IN PORTAL FOR 90 DAYS!!!Support Link is not working
I have a billing issue but when clicking Contact Support I get This site can’t provide a secure connection link.goto.com sent an invalid response. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR I can not find an email for support either. So not sure who to contact a real person. the AI Chat isn't helping.
Workstation app hides when I click dial
We’ve used GoTo Connect for years on Windows 11 Pro. Lately, when I type a name/extension and click ‘Dial,’ the app “disappears”. The app minimizes / moves to another monitor and behind all other programs / windows I have open making it difficult to locate. The GOTO app is version 4.18.0 and says up to date. A few others here have the same issue.. Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes?”
