Set up call forwarding

Get your AI receptionist answering calls in under 2 minutes. No apps, no hardware — just one code dialed on your phone.

Your AI Receptionist Number

Enter the number from your welcome email or dashboard.

How it works

  1. 1. Your business phone rings like normal when someone calls.
  2. 2. If you don't answer, are on another call, or your phone is off — the call forwards to your AI receptionist.
  3. 3. Your AI answers, captures the caller's info, and texts you a summary within 30 seconds.

Tip: We recommend disabling your carrier's voicemail. Call forwarding usually overrides it, but removing voicemail ensures there are no conflicts.

Easiest way: Call your carrier (2 minutes)

The fastest and most reliable way to set this up is to call your carrier directly. They'll do it for you — takes about 2 minutes.

  1. 1. Dial 611 from your phone (connects to your carrier for free).
  2. 2. Say: "I'd like to set up conditional call forwarding. Can you also remove my voicemail?"
  3. 3. Give them your AI receptionist number (shown above).
  4. 4. Ask for forwarding on no answer (after 15 seconds), busy, and unreachable.
  5. 5. Confirm voicemail is removed so it doesn't intercept calls.

That's it. Your AI receptionist will start answering calls immediately.

How long should your phone ring?

Choose how many seconds your phone rings before the AI picks up. 15 seconds is recommended — it rings 4 times then forwards before voicemail can intercept.
