Setup · Call forwarding

Forward your business line to Regulance.

You keep the number you’ve always had — on your business cards, on Google, on your truck wrap. Customers dial it just like before. Behind the scenes, your carrier hands the call off to your Regulance number, and Sara picks up. Five minutes, one-time setup, reversible any time.

The shape of it

[ Customer dials your business number ] │ ▼ [ Your carrier sees the call ] │ ▼ [ Carrier forwards it to your Regulance # ] ← what you set up here │ ▼ [ Sara answers in one ring on Regulance ]

Your Regulance number lives in your second email

We send it within four hours of you connecting your calendar. The number looks like a normal US ten-digit number (e.g. +1 (213) 555‑0142). You only ever forward to it — your customers don’t see it.

What kind of line do you have?

The right steps depend on your carrier. Most operators fall into one of the categories below. If none match, jump to Landline / Other or email us — we’ll do it on a five-minute call.

Wireless carriers

Verizon Wireless
  1. On the phone you want to forward, open the dialer.
  2. Dial *72 followed immediately by your Regulance number (with the leading 1, no spaces or dashes). Example: *7212135550142
  3. Press Call. You’ll hear a short confirmation tone or recorded message.
  4. Hang up. Call your business number from a different phone to confirm Sara picks up.
  5. To turn forwarding off later: dial *73 and press Call.
AT&T Wireless
  1. Open the dialer.
  2. Dial **21* + your Regulance number + #. Example: **21*12135550142#
  3. Press Call. You’ll see “Service registration succeeded” or a brief confirmation tone.
  4. Test it by calling your business line from another phone.
  5. To cancel later: dial ##21# and press Call.
T-Mobile
  1. Open the dialer.
  2. Dial **21* + your Regulance number + #. Example: **21*12135550142#
  3. Press Call.
  4. Test from another phone.
  5. To cancel: ##21# then Call.

T-Mobile also supports the alternate code *21* + number + # on some plans. If the double-star version fails, try the single-star version.

Mint Mobile, Cricket, Metro, Visible, US Mobile (MVNOs)

MVNOs ride on Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile’s network, so use the matching code:

  • Mint, Ultra, US Mobile (Warp) → T-Mobile codes (**21* ... #)
  • Cricket, Consumer Cellular (AT&T) → AT&T codes (**21* ... #)
  • Visible, Total Wireless, US Mobile (GSMA) → Verizon codes (*72 ...)

If you’re not sure which network your MVNO uses, search their support page for “unconditional call forwarding” — that’s the carrier term for what you’re setting up.

Google Voice forwarding requires verifying the destination number. If you hit a snag, just reply to your welcome email — we’ll read you back the verification code in real time.

Traditional landlines & everything else

Landline / unknown carrier
  1. From the business phone itself, lift the receiver and dial *72 followed by your Regulance number (with the leading 1, no spaces).
  2. Wait for the confirmation tone.
  3. Hang up. Forwarding is active.
  4. If *72 doesn’t work, try 72#. A handful of regional carriers use a different sequence.
  5. If neither works, call your carrier’s customer line and read them this:

    “I need to enable unconditional call forwarding on this line. The number to forward to is [your Regulance number]. Please make sure it forwards on all conditions — busy, no-answer, and always.”
  6. To cancel later: dial *73 from the same phone.

After it’s set up

Always do a test call

Once you’ve enabled forwarding, dial your business number from a different phone (your cell, a coworker’s phone, your spouse’s phone — anything but the forwarded line itself). Sara should answer within one ring with the greeting we configured for your business. If she does, you’re live.

If you hear voicemail instead of Sara

Most often this means the forwarding command was entered with a typo (extra space, missing leading 1, wrong number). Try cancelling (*73 or ##21#) and re-entering. If two attempts don’t work, write us — we can usually see on our side whether the call is reaching the Regulance line at all.

Common questions

Will my outbound calls still show my business number?

Yes. Forwarding only redirects incoming calls. Anything you dial from your business phone goes out as your own number, same as before.

Can I turn forwarding off whenever I want?

Yes — every carrier has a cancel code (usually *73 on wireless or a toggle in the portal on VoIP / cable). Cancelling takes effect instantly. You don’t need to tell us first.

Does forwarding cost extra from my carrier?

On the vast majority of US plans, no. Unconditional forwarding is included as a standard feature. A few legacy landline plans charge a small monthly fee (typically $3-$5) for advanced calling features — your carrier will tell you up front if so. We’ve never seen a wireless plan charge for it.

What about after-hours? Should I only forward then?

Most operators forward 24/7 — Sara’s entire value is answering every call, including the ones you’re currently missing during business hours because you’re on a job. That said, if you want her on only after-hours, every cable / VoIP portal lets you schedule forwarding by time-of-day. Reply to your welcome email and we’ll help you set it up that way.

What if a regular customer needs to reach me directly?

Sara collects the caller’s name, number, and reason for calling. If they specifically ask for you by name and it’s urgent, she pages you on SMS in real time so you can call back within a minute. For non-urgent calls, you get a morning summary with every call from the previous day.

Still stuck?

Reply to your welcome email or write services@regulance.ai. We’ll hop on a five-minute call and set forwarding up with you. Most operators finish in well under five minutes once they have the right code in hand.
