How to forward calls on Bell Home Phone to your AI receptionist

Keep your Bell Home Phone number. Bell Home Phone forwards every call, so RingReady answers them all while forwarding is on. It takes a couple of dial codes.

Bell Home Phone setup

After you sign up you get your own RingReady number; your dashboard shows these same steps with it filled in, as tap-to-dial buttons.

Landline setup: Lift the handset, wait for the dial tone, then dial each code from your Bell phone — these codes won't work from a cell phone. Bell Home Phone doesn't offer busy or no-answer forwarding to another number — only forwarding of all calls (*72), which Bell must have on your calling features.
Good to know: Call Forwarding must be added to your Bell calling features, and long distance applies if your RingReady number is outside your local calling area.
Heads up: Bell Home Phone can only forward every call, not just the ones you miss. While it's on, your receptionist answers all your calls.
