Managing Phone Numbers

Get dedicated phone numbers for your AI receptionist, assign them to agents, and optionally forward calls from your existing business number.

Assigning Agents to Numbers

Each phone number must be assigned to an agent. When someone calls that number, the assigned agent will answer.

To Assign or Change an Agent:

  1. Click on the phone number to open its detail page.
  2. Find the "Agent Assignment" section.
  3. Select an agent from the dropdown.
  4. Click "Assign Agent" to confirm.

To Unassign an Agent:

  1. Open the phone number detail page.
  2. In the Agent Assignment section, click the current agent.
  3. Select "Unassign" from the options.
Unassigned numbers won't be able to receive calls until an agent is assigned.

Call Forwarding

If you have an existing business number you want to keep, you can forward calls from it to your Infercall number. This way, customers call your familiar number and reach your AI receptionist.

  • Forward All Calls — Every call goes to your AI receptionist.
  • Forward When No Answer — Only unanswered calls (recommended).
  • Forward When Busy — When you're on another call.
Each phone number's detail page includes carrier-specific forwarding codes. Click on your Infercall number, then go to the "Forwarding Setup" tab for step-by-step instructions.

Releasing a Phone Number

Warning: This action cannot be undoneOnce released, the number returns to the pool and may be assigned to another customer. You will not be able to get the same number back.
  1. Open the phone number's detail page.
  2. Scroll to the "Danger Zone" section at the bottom.
  3. Click "Release Number".
  4. Confirm in the dialog that appears.

Note: You must have an agent assigned to release a number (this prevents accidental releases).
