How to Set Up No Answer Call Forwarding for Missed Call Alerts and Voicemail
No Answer Call Forwarding lets your phone ring normally. If you don't answer after several rings, your carrier forwards the call to another number.
This is the recommended setup for:
- Missed call alerts
- Voicemail to email
- Voicemail transcription
- Lead capture
- After-hours support
Your customers continue calling your existing number. You do not need to change your public phone number.
