Setting up your Buzzly Number is necessary in order to use Buzzly, but the good news is that setup is quick and easy.

Your Buzzly Number is a special phone number that your buzzer will use to connect to Buzzly. Currently, your own personal cell or landline phone is likely registered in your buzzer at your apartment or condo.

Ask your building or property manager to update your buzzer phone number on record to your new Buzzly Number. 

For your building or property manager, this is the same as updating any other phone number. If you wish, you need only tell them that you're changing your phone number; there is nothing else to install and all remaining setup will happen in your Buzzly Dashboard.

Your Buzzly Number is too smart to have a number for a name. On your Buzzly Dashboard, under your Buzzly Number, select Settings & Forwarding from the main menu. Here, you can add a nickname for your number.
​

One of the great features of Buzzly is that when a guest dials you on your building's buzzer, the phone call can be sent to multiple phones simultaneously. These phones are called 'Forwarding Numbers' and your Dashboard will guide you through adding and activating them.

See Forwarding Numbers for more information.

Currently, when you get a phone call from your buzzer, you press a button on your phone to tell the buzzer to unlock the door. This number is different for every buzzer system, and Buzzly needs to know what it is for some features to work. Your Buzzly dashboard will guide you through setting this number.

See Unlock Button for more information.

Your apartment or condo's buzzer is a lot like any other phone, when someone dials you on your building's buzzer, it places a phone call to the number registered to you in its settings; in this case, your Buzzly number. This outgoing phone call has an associated Caller ID. Buzzly will keep an eye on your incoming buzzes. Once we think we know what this caller ID is, you will see a prompt on your Dashboard to limit incoming calls to this number. We highly recommend you set this limit so that Buzzly can reject all other calls that might come in and protect your Buzztime from being used up on wrong-number calls or telephone scams.
