Single Phone Line - Online
Instructions

Turn on Call Forwarding Not Reachable and enter in your business's Numa number. In the rare event that Comcast experiences a service disruption Numa will still answer.
Note: If you have multiple phone lines (that are not a part of a hunt group) you will need to perform this for each business line.

Turn on Call Forwarding Busy under the Hunt Group Call Forwarding Settings and enter in the Numa number as the forwarding number.
Turn on Call Forwarding Not Reachable under the Hunt Group Call Forwarding Settings and enter in the Numa number as the forwarding number. In the rare event that Comcast experiences a service disruption Numa will still answer.
Hunt Group - VoiceEdge Select
Hunt Group - Business Voice
Multiple Lines - No Hunt Group
Simply follow the Single Phone Line instructions on each line.
Note: If you have multiple locations (inboxes) then you will use a different Numa number at each location.
How to Confirm It's Working
You can place a test call by going to Settings > Phone numbers > Test my setup or call your business's phone number from your personal phone. If nobody answers, you should hear your Numa Voicemail greeting.
Troubleshooting
Make sure you don't have an answering machine picking up your calls before they get forwarded.
If your business's phone line is part of a hunt group (multiple lines that ring until one is answered), you may need to set up forwarding on all the lines involved. Alternatively, you could remove your business phone line from the hunt group.
Contact your phone provider and have them double check that forwarding was set up properly and is active on your line.
Turn off Call Forwarding
Call Forwarding No Answer: Press *93 then listen for a confirmation tone.
Call Forwarding Busy: Press *91 then listen for a confirmation tone.
No matter what, don't hesitate to contact Numa support! We'll happily work with you and your service provider to get you all set up.
