# Forward your calls to your agent

> Keep your phone company and send calls from your business number to Answering Agent. Steps for every major provider.

Forwarding sends calls that reach your business number over to your Answering Agent line. Your phone company stays the same, your number stays on your signs and Google, and your agent answers. It takes a few minutes and you can turn it off any time.

## Before you start

* Find your Answering Agent line for this location in **Dashboard**, then **Phone numbers**. That is the number you forward to.
* Know which phone company carries your business number. The steps differ by company.
* Have a second phone handy for the test call.

## Turn it on

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick your phone company below">
    Each page has the exact steps or dial code for that company.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Forward all calls to your Answering Agent line">
    Use the dial code from the phone that has the number, or the company's app or portal.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Call your business number from another phone">
    Your agent should answer. The phone numbers step in your dashboard turns green when it does.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>If your phone company offers "forward when unanswered", you can keep answering yourself and let the agent take the calls you miss. Every page below notes whether that option exists.</Tip>
