Welcome
Your setup checklist: Get Sōl ready to answer your calls.
Your Sōl number
Already arranged a number with us? We check this business's assignment first. Otherwise, search for a local number below.
Choosing a number saves your preference. We'll confirm availability and any charges before purchasing or connecting it.
Forward your missed calls
Keep using your number for your business. Once forwarding is set up, your phone rings first and Sōl answers when you can't.
Make a test call
You'll play one of your own customers to hear exactly what they'll hear. It takes about 5 minutes and needs two phones:
1 Does Sōl answer?
From Phone B, call your Sōl number, …, directly.
What should happen: Sōl answers within a ring or two: "Thanks for calling your business…" It lets the caller know the call is recorded and asks how it can help. Say something like "My kitchen sink is leaking," give a made-up name and address, and hang up. Within a minute or two, that request reaches you the same way real ones will.
2 Do missed calls reach Sōl?
From Phone B, call your business number. Let Phone A ring, and don't answer it.
What should happen: Phone A rings like normal. After about 4 or 5 rings, Phone A stops ringing and Phone B hears Sōl answer for your business. That's exactly what your customers will hear when you're under a sink.
3 Do you still get your own calls?
From Phone B, call your business number again, and this time answer it on Phone A.
What should happen: A normal call between the two phones. Sōl stays out of it. Sōl only steps in when you don't pick up.
Something didn't go that way?
- Sōl didn't answer test 1: your Sōl line may still be connecting. Reply to your welcome email and we'll check it.
- Phone A never rang and Sōl answered right away: all calls are being forwarded, not just missed ones. Go back to "Forward your missed calls" and use the "when unanswered" steps.
- The call went to your voicemail instead of Sōl: forwarding isn't on yet, or your voicemail picks up first. Redo the forwarding step, or we'll fix it with you on your Welcome Call.
- On an iPhone: Live Voicemail can grab the call before Sōl does. Turn it off in your iPhone's Phone settings.
