How Do I Know If a Call Comes Through My Phone Number?

With a whisper tone. When calls to your business number are forwarded to your personal phone, the whisper tone tells you which calls are for the business.

With a whisper tone turned on, you hear a short tone or message before the call connects. If you hear it, the call came in on your business number. If you don’t hear it, someone dialed your personal number directly. The caller doesn’t hear the whisper tone.

This is also useful if you have more than one business number: give each number its own whisper tone, so you know which number the caller dialed and how to answer.

How to activate it

You turn on a whisper tone in the dashboard. Record it on your mobile phone or let the text-to-speech assistant generate one. See activate a whisper tone for step-by-step instructions.
