Nothing about your phone changes.

This is the part everyone worries about, so here it is in full. You keep your number. Your phone rings first, every time. Theo only ever picks up the calls that would otherwise have gone to voicemail.

How it works

Four minutes to set up. Then it just runs.

Your phone keeps working exactly the way it does now. We only pick up when nobody else does.

  1. You keep your number

    Nothing changes. We give you a forwarding target and you set your phone to roll over to it when you don’t pick up. Takes about four minutes with us on the line.

  2. Theo picks up the ones you miss

    Answers as your business. Knows your hours, your service area, what you do and don't take on. Qualifies the job and books it straight into your calendar.

  3. You get a text before you're off the job

    Name, number, address, what they need, how urgent. Tap to call back or let the booking stand.

What forwarding actually does to your line

Conditional call forwarding is a carrier feature that has existed for decades. It is one code, dialled once, from your own phone.

  1. A customer dials your number

    The number on your truck. Nothing is redirected, intercepted or rerouted before it reaches you.

  2. Your phone rings — for as long as it always has

    Pick up and the call is yours. We never see it and we never bill for it.

  3. Only if you don’t answer does it roll over

    Your carrier passes the call to the number we gave you, and Theo answers as your business.

  • Turn it off any time by dialling one cancel code.
  • Works on AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and every major MVNO.
  • No app, no new handset, no port, no downtime.
  • We confirm it with a live test call before we mark you live.

Would rather someone walked you through it?

Ten minutes on the phone. We set the forwarding up with you, place the test call, and you watch it roll over. If it doesn't work on your carrier, you pay nothing and we say so.

The questions everyone asks.

Short answers. If yours isn't here, the number in the footer reaches a person.

  • Will my customers know it's not a person?

    Some will, most won't, and it matters less than you'd think. He answers on the first ring, knows your hours and your service area, and books the job. If a caller asks directly whether they're talking to a person, he tells them he answers the phones for you. He never pretends to be someone he isn't.

  • What happens if it can't answer something?

    He takes the details and tells the caller you'll ring them back — the same thing a good office manager does. You get a text with everything he captured. He never guesses at a price or promises work you don't do.

  • Do I have to change my phone number?

    No. You keep the number that is on your truck, your invoices and your yard signs. We give you a forwarding target, and your phone rolls calls over to it when you don’t pick up. Your phone keeps working exactly the way it does now.

  • What if I want to answer the call myself?

    Then you answer it. Forwarding only fires after your phone has rung and you haven’t picked up. You always get first refusal on every call.

  • How long does setup take?

    About four minutes, with us on the line. We detect your carrier, hand you the exact code to dial, and then place a test call to your own number so you can watch the rollover happen. We don’t mark you live until we’ve seen a forwarded call land.

  • What if it books a job I can't take?

    He only offers windows that fit the hours and service area you gave us, and you get the text the moment a job is booked. Tap once to call the customer back and move it. Every booking is yours to change.

  • Can I hear it before I pay?

    That is the whole point. Put your business name and mobile in the form at the top of this page and he will be answering as your company in about twenty seconds. No card, no call from a salesperson.

  • How do I cancel?

    One click in your account, or email help@theodoor.com. No contract, no notice period, no retention call. Turn forwarding off and you're back exactly where you started.
