Dear tosdr,
Please review the terms for RingPlus at
https://ringplus.net/legal/members/.
I had a few concerns when reading the terms. First of all, the terms,
service, pricing, can change at any time for any reason, and they can
change your phone's software remotely and without notice.
Second, it appears they have severe restrictions on the use of their
content, and claims & restrictions on your own content.
Please see below for relevant sections.
Thanks!
Jeff
