Forward Your Number
Here's the secret: even if your previous phone system is down, most carriers can still forward your number to another number. Contact your carrier and ask them to forward your number to the new Tonet number you added. This way, any incoming calls to your original number will be redirected seamlessly to your Tonet system.
Configure Caller ID for Outgoing Calls
But what about outgoing calls? This is where the magic happens. We will configure your system to use your existing number as the Caller ID for outgoing calls.
- Navigate to the Phones section of the dashboard.
- Click on "Add a new Caller ID."
- Enter your existing well-known number and follow the on-screen instructions to answer our automated call for verification.

Once you’ve verified your existing number, return to the Phones section. Edit your new Tonet number and apply the verified Caller ID. Now, when you make calls from Tonet, your customers will see your original well-known number, maintaining consistency and trust.
