How to forward calls on TDS Telecom Home Phone to your AI receptionist

Keep your TDS Telecom Home Phone number. Your phone rings first — RingReady answers only the calls you miss. Set it up in a few minutes from your TDS Telecom Home Phone settings.

TDS Telecom 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 TDS phone. These codes won't work from a cell phone.
1

Call TDS to add busy / no-answer forwarding

TDS doesn't publish dial codes for forwarding only busy or unanswered calls.

Call TDS and ask for call forwarding on busy and no answer to your RingReady number. Ask whether it carries a per-use charge.
2

Test it

From another phone, call your home number and let it ring.

3

Or forward every call with a dial code

From your TDS Telecom Home Phone phone, dial *72 followed by your RingReady number.

Your receptionist then answers all your calls, not just the missed ones. Dial *73 to turn it off.
