Setup guides

BeepBack sits behind the business number you already have. Connecting it is one call-forwarding setting, done once: calls you answer ring through like always, and only the calls you don’t pick up roll to your BeepBack texting number instead of voicemail. These guides walk you through it, and the app fills your number into every step during setup. Pick the one that matches your phone.

Cell phones: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile

The exact star codes that turn conditional forwarding on and off, including the prepaid brands that ride each network, plus how to test it and undo it. Verizon uses *71; AT&T and T-Mobile use **61*.

VoIP and landlines: RingCentral, Google Voice, Vonage, 8x8

No star codes here; the same setting lives in your provider’s portal. What the “forward when unanswered” rule is called on the providers we see most, plus how to handle a phone-company landline.

Which one am I?

If you dial from a phone with a SIM card and a cell plan, start with the cell-phone codes. If your business number runs through an app or a web portal like RingCentral or Google Voice, or it’s a landline from the phone company, use the VoIP and landline guide. Not sure? Email hello@getbeepback.com and we’ll set it up with you.

One honest note

Turning forwarding on makes your missed calls show up in the dashboard right away, but the text-backs themselves start only after the phone carriers finish verifying your business, usually about two weeks, sometimes longer. That verification is why your texts land and your number doesn’t get flagged as spam, and you’re not charged until you’re live.
