Seven questions and a number. Your own line keeps working exactly as it does now. Fill it in and see how it goes. Signup is not open yet, so Continue is off and nothing is saved.

Set each day on its own. Calls outside your hours are still answered: your hours decide what wakes you, not what gets picked up.

Where we send the call when you say yes.

Filled in from your phone's language. Change it if your callers speak the other one.

How many calls a day?

A rough guess is fine. It only steers the setup.

Optional. Work you do not take, how far you travel, a gate code, the thing you end up explaining on every call.

Your new number

Use the code your customers dial, which is not always the one on your own cell. A local number is the one that gets answered.

Give us an area code and we will find you one. It fills in from the number you gave above, and you can change it here.

Signup opens with the app. Nothing you type here is saved yet.

Every call reaches you like this. You answer it with one word.

When signup opens

What happens next

The rest of the setup runs over text messages. There is nothing to install.

  1. Your number arrives by text

    It goes to the phone you gave us, usually inside a minute. Save it as a contact so you know who is texting you at eleven at night.

  2. You forward your line to it

    One short code on your phone. We send you the exact code for your carrier, and the same message tells you how to turn it back off.

  3. The next call reaches you as a text

    It answers, finds out what the job is and where, then sends you the short version. Reply yes and it puts the caller through to you.

What it costs
No. You keep the number your customers already have. BusyTel gives you a second number, and your line forwards to it only when you decide to set that up.
