What It Is

Call Forwarding — Every Call Routed to the Right Place Every Time

Basic call forwarding routes all calls to one number. Intelligent routing routes the right call to the right person at the right time — automatically, without manual switching, with overflow so no call is ever simply missed.

Time-based routing automatically forwards to different destinations by time and day — office during hours, mobile for commute, voicemail or live answering after 6pm. One number, multiple destinations, fully automated. Changes instant from portal.

Simultaneous ringing rings multiple numbers at once — any available team member answers, none of the missed-call problem of hunt groups with long ring steps.

Overflow routing means calls never simply ring unanswered. If your primary number goes unanswered after a set number of rings, the call automatically overflows to our live answering team, a colleague or professional voicemail. No caller ever hears an unanswered ringing phone.

Common Questions

Things People Ask — Before They Sign Up

What is time-based routing?

Automatically forwards to different destinations by time of day and day of week. Set once, applies forever — no manual switching required.

What is a hunt group?

Rings numbers in sequence — number 1 for 15 seconds, if unanswered number 2, then 3. If all unanswered, overflows to voicemail or live answering.

Can I block spam callers?

Yes — block list routes specific numbers directly to voicemail or ‘not in service’ message. Industry-standard spam filtering also applied.

What is caller ID pass-through?

When a call is forwarded, you see the original caller’s number — not the forwarding service’s number. Know who’s calling before you answer.

How do I set up holiday routing?

Add a future-dated routing rule for holiday dates — calls forward to live answering instead of your mobile. Delete the rule when you return. Changes take effect from the date specified.

Common Mistakes

4 Mistakes to Avoid

❌ No overflow routing

Without overflow, unanswered calls simply ring out. Every routing setup must have an overflow destination — voicemail or live answering.

❌ Not testing rules before going live

Time-based rules and hunt groups can behave unexpectedly. Always test from an external phone before announcing your number to clients.

❌ Too many hunt group steps

5+ steps means 90+ seconds before voicemail. Most callers hang up before 40 seconds. Keep hunt groups to 2-3 steps maximum.

❌ Stale routing for departed staff

Former staff’s numbers in routing create call failures. Weekly 5-minute routing review prevents failures from accumulating.
