How it works

# Your number works immediately.  
We do the work.

Here is exactly what happens between picking a number and your first business call. Spoiler: we do almost all of it.

01

You do this · ~2 minutes

## Pick your number

See which numbers are available right now: a local number in your area code (350+ available), a toll-free, or a vanity number that spells your business name.

Already have a business number? Keep it. We move it over for you free, we file the carrier paperwork, and the number keeps working the whole time.

02

We do this

## A human builds your setup

A real person from our family-run team sets up your line: business hours, call routing, spam screening, voicemail. Tell us what callers should hear and we record your greeting professionally. You approve it before it goes live.

This is the part customers can’t stop mentioning in reviews: “She has created great greeting and voicemail recordings. She set up the destination phones. She has submitted and followed up on porting our number.”

03

From then on

## You just answer your phone

Customers dial your business number and your existing cell rings. You know it’s a business call before you say hello, so you can always answer with your business name.

After hours, voicemail catches calls and emails them to you. Want to text customers or review call history? The optional app has all of it, on your phone or the web.

The other side of the call

## What your customer hears

From their first ring, you sound like an established company.

1.  1
    
    ### They hear your greeting
    
    “Thanks for calling Brightside Cleaning…” recorded professionally, with your business name.
    
2.  2
    
    ### Optional phone tree
    
    “Press 1 for scheduling, 2 for estimates.” Every option can ring the same pocket. Callers never know.
    
3.  3
    
    ### Your cell rings
    
    You know it’s a business call before you say hello, so you pick up as the business.
    
4.  4
    
    ### Voicemail catches the rest
    
    Busy or closed? A professional voicemail takes over and the message lands in your email.
    

Meanwhile, known spam gets screened out before your phone rings at all.

## Setup questions

The honest answers, including the one about whether this is complicated. (It isn’t. We do it.)

Is this going to be complicated to set up?

This is the **#1 worry** people tell us they had. One customer wrote, _"I thought it would be too complicated and would take too much time away from my business to use, but it was just the opposite."_ You pick a number and **it works instantly**; we set up the rest for you, including recording your greeting.

Do I need a new phone?

**No.** Your business number rings the cell phone _already in your pocket_, and you know it's a business call before you say hello. **No new device, no app required.** There is one if you want it, though.

Can I keep my existing business number?

**Yes.** We move it over for you **free**, paperwork and all. _Your number keeps working the whole time_, and we keep you posted on the progress.

Do real humans actually answer?

Yes, 100%. As one review puts it: _"you actually get to talk to a human when you call!"_ That's **(844) 822-2255**, and our reviews name our support people more often than any feature.

## Your line could be live before lunch.

Pick a number now and our team takes it from there.
