Frequently Asked Questions.

How does a call diversion service work?

A call diversion service enables you to advertise one number for your business but take calls on a different number, for example your personal cell phone and you want to keep that number private. In such a scenario, customers and other callers phoning the business will only ever know the advertised number, yet the business owner will be able to see whether or not an incoming call is connected to their business.

What are common reasons to consider a call diversion service?

A call diversion service can provide a simple, fast and economical way for a business to appear larger or to expand its presence interstate or nationally. An entrepreneur who runs several businesses, each with their own advertised number, can also use a call diversion service to have calls for all businesses answered on a single number (whether a cell phone or a number at physical business premises).

With a call diversion service, what happens to calls that go unanswered?

Unless you have an associated live call answering service or voicemail-to-email service with AnsweringService.com, any unanswered calls will be managed by whatever existing solutions you have in place. As an example, typically on a cell phone, an unanswered call would go through to the telecommunication provider’s own voicemail service.

Is it possible to change the number my calls divert to?

You sure can. Very easily via your online client portal, with any number change taking effect immediately. Additionally, during business hours our customer support team can make the change for you.

Do I receive a local phone number for use with my service?

Yes. When signing up for a live call answering service, call diversion service or voicemail-to-email, you can choose an exclusive phone number with a local area code for free. Or, for an additional cost, you can upgrade to a toll-free number. You can either advertise this number directly or forward calls to it from your existing business number. Alternatively, you may wish to port an existing local or toll-free number from your current provider to AnsweringService.com.
