Take lunch. The phone still gets answered.

Lunch, breaks, and the minutes you step away are when calls go to voicemail. With no-answer forwarding, your phone rings first and FrontDesk Talk answers any call nobody picks up.

How it works

1

Turn on no-answer forwarding

Dial your carrier’s code once, or pick “Ring my phone first” in the app and follow the steps. Your phone keeps ringing first, all day.

2

Step away when you need to

If nobody picks up, the call moves to your receptionist after a few rings. There’s nothing to switch on at noon.

3

Read the Talk Note when you’re back

Every call it answers ends with a short summary by text and email: who called, what they needed, and what got done.

What you get

Covers every gap

Lunch, breaks, team meetings, and the minutes you’re with a walk-in. Any call nobody answers gets answered.

Answers the easy questions

Hours, directions, services, and the prices you choose to share, from what you tell it.

Books while you eat

On Real Talk and up, callers book an open time on your Google or Outlook Calendar.

Takes the details

If a caller needs you, it takes their name, best number, and what they need, so you can call back after lunch.

Which plan includes it

Small Talk, $99 a month

Answers every call, 24/7.

Lunch and break coverage works on every plan, starting with Small Talk at $99 a month. Only the calls it answers use Talk Time. Includes 200 minutes of Talk Time a month.

Questions

Do I have to turn it on every day?

No. With no-answer forwarding, it only answers the calls nobody picks up. Set it up once and leave it on.

How long does my phone ring first?

That depends on your carrier. Many let you set the ring time in seconds, and our forwarding guides show how.

Can I send every call to it during lunch instead?

Yes. Turn on always forwarding before lunch and turn it off after. Most carriers use a short dial code for each.

What if I’m on another call?

Add busy forwarding too. When you’re already on the phone, the next caller goes to your receptionist instead of voicemail.
