How to forward your business number to AlwaysRespond

Forwarding takes under five minutes. You're not switching carriers, porting numbers, or installing hardware. You dial a short code on your business phone and calls route to AlwaysRespond from then on.

Step 1. Get your AlwaysRespond number

After you sign up, your dashboard shows a local AI number assigned to you. Copy it.

Step 2. Dial the forwarding code

From your existing business line, dial one of these codes followed by your AlwaysRespond number.

• Forward all calls: *72 + AR number
• Forward when busy or unanswered: *71 + AR number
• Stop forwarding: *73

Carrier-specific notes

• AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile: standard codes work as-is.
• RingCentral: use Settings → Phones & Numbers → Call Forwarding.
• Spectrum / cable VoIP: log into the customer portal and enable forwarding.

Test it

Call your business number from your cell. AlwaysRespond should pick up in under a second. If it rings out, double-check the forwarding code.
