MyAIVoiceAgent

All forwarding guides

Forward Ooma Office to an AI receptionist

Keep your published number and forward calls to MyAIVoiceAgent when you want the agent to answer.

In dial codes below, XXXXXXXXXX is the ten-digit number you want calls forwarded to (your area code plus number, no +1). Anywhere you see “your MyAIVoiceAgent number”, use the MyAIVoiceAgent number from your account after you sign up.

Every call

  1. Log in to the Ooma End User Portal or desktop app and open Settings, Call Handling.
  2. Set When I receive a call to Forward it immediately.
  3. Choose My Forwarding number, enter your MyAIVoiceAgent number in the popup, and save.
  4. From a phone you can dial star-72, then XXXXXXXXXX, then hash; use star-74 to toggle.

To turn it off: Change When I receive a call away from Forward it immediately, or dial star-74 and follow prompts.

Use Require key press on answer to avoid cell voicemail capturing unanswered forwards. Forwarding is included; international destinations may need extra settings.
