How to Forward Calls from Net2Phone to Smith.ai

Jessica Paxton Updated by Jessica Paxton

Net2Phone customers using Smith.ai to handle their calls will need to change the settings in their Net2Phone account to ensure calls are being forwarded to Smith.ai and that caller's numbers appear correctly to our receptionists (caller ID). Here's how to update your Net2Phone account to properly forward your calls.

How to forward calls from a ring group on Net2Phone to Smith.ai

Although below are instructions for forwarding calls via an extension, this is the preferred method to set up call forwarding to Smtih.ai.

  1. From your Net2Phone admin dashboard, click on the Company tab.
  2. Click on Ring Groups.
  3. Open the Ring Group you want to forward to Smith.ai.
  4. Edit the tier to forward to Smith.ai when you'd like us to handle your calls. You can customize your ring group to forward to Smith.ai 24/7, during certain time frames, or as overflow.
    If you have not set up a ring group, you can follow these instructions on the Net2Phone website.
  5. In the tiers section, select Add Forwarding Number.
  6. Input your Smith.ai number and then press Add.
  7. If using Smith.ai as an overflow, in addition to setting up Smith.ai as a tier in your ring group, it's also recommended to update the If Call Not Answered section to send calls to Smith.ai
