One of the best parts of Buzzly: when someone dials you at the door, the call can ring several phones at once. Those phones are your Forwarding Numbers.

In this article:

When a buzz comes in, every active forwarding number rings at the same time. The first person to pick up gets connected, and the rest stop ringing. Each answered buzz is recorded in your Buzz Log, including which phone took the call.

How many you get depends on your plan: Buzzly Lite includes 3, Buzzly Home includes 5, and Buzzly Social includes 10.

Heads up: if an active number goes straight to voicemail, voicemail will likely "answer" before anyone else can — an answering machine counts as picking up! Deactivate any phone that's often off or unavailable, and silence (don't reject) buzzes when you can't get them.

You manage all of this from the Overview page of your Buzzly Number — open the Forwarding tile.

A forwarding number only rings when it's active. From the Forwarding tile, activate a number to start it ringing on buzzes, or deactivate it to stop — handy when a guest, roommate, or renter only needs access for a while. Changes take effect right away, and deactivating keeps the number on your account for next time.

Open the Forwarding tile, find the number, and update its nickname. The new name shows up everywhere in Buzzly.

Deleting removes the number from this Buzzly Number for good — you'd need to add and verify it again to reuse it. Just want a break from the buzzes? Deactivate it instead. To delete, open the Forwarding tile, find the number, and remove it.
