Iconic British TV duo become the newest voice for Ring Doorbells. This is how you activate them on your device
Ring Doorbell customers can now give their guests the celebrity treatment with the help of an iconic British TV duo.
Two of the country’s biggest stars are the latest to lend their voices to the video doorbell’s ‘Quick Replies’ feature.
With this update you can have none other than Ant and Dec greet your guests with their unmistakable voices.
Whether you’re busy cooking dinner or watching television, the nation’s favorite duo can now be your personal doorman.
With Quick Replies, every visitor who rings the doorbell is met by one of Ant and Dec’s cheeky lines and asked to leave a message of their own.
Ant says: ‘Everyone knows we love jokes, so we loved the idea of Quick Replies and, as you can imagine, we had loads of fun recording it.’
Dec added: ‘We can’t wait for you to see the surprised reactions from your friends and family when people are greeted on your doorstep by our Quick Replies.’
This is how you activate Ant and Dec’s voices on your Ring doorbell.
Iconic TV duo Ant and Dec have become the latest stars to lend their voices to the Ring Video Doorbell
The iconic British double act has provided several lines to greet your guests as part of Ring’s ‘Quick Replies’ feature
The Ring Video Doorbell can be attached to the front door of your home to stream video of any visitors or speak directly to your guests.
But for those times when you just can’t get to the door, Ring Doorbells also have a ‘Quick Replies’ feature.
This functions like a voicemail at your door, greeting visitors with a pre-recorded line and inviting them to leave a message.
Instead of using a generic option, you can now have messages recorded by ‘I’m a Celebrity’ presenters Ant and Dec.
For example, someone who rings your doorbell might be greeted by Ant saying, ‘Hi, we’re your hosts Ant and Dec – and you’ve just won tonight’s top prize!’
Dec then says: ‘This is your chance to meet the person who is about to open this door!’
In total, Ant and Dec have registered six possible Quick Replies for Ring customers to choose from.
Dave Ward, director of Ring, said: ‘Ant and Dec have always captivated the hearts of the British public, so who better to welcome and entertain guests at the door than this famous TV duo.’
