When clients call the phone number your salon uses for SMS, call forwarding sends those calls to another phone, such as your front desk or your cell phone.

Before you start

  • You have a phone number in Settings β€Ί Notifications β€Ί Phone Numbers. See Get a phone number for SMS.
  • You have the Super Administrator or Owner role.
  • The phone you forward to is in the same country as your Softalon number.
  • You have enough credits for the first charge.

What it costs

Call forwarding costs 500 credits per month, on top of the phone number's own price.

  • First charge. When you turn forwarding on, you pay only for the days left until the number's next renewal. The charge is 500 credits times the days left, divided by 30, rounded up. For example, with 12 days left you pay 200 credits.
  • Renewals. At each renewal, 500 credits are added to the number's monthly price for as long as forwarding is on.
  • Turning it off and on. If you turn forwarding off and back on in the same 30-day period, you aren't charged again.

    Forwarding Updated, saying which number calls are forwarded to.

Change or turn off forwarding

  • Change the number. Open the row's menu, choose Set Forwarding, enter the new number and click Save. Changing the number while forwarding is on doesn't add a charge.
  • Turn it off. Turn off the switch in the Call Forwarding column. You'll see Forwarding Disabled. Credits already paid aren't returned, and the next renewal no longer includes the forwarding fee.

If something is off

Call forwarding is only allowed to phone numbers in the same country

The number you forward to must be in the same country as your Softalon number. Use a phone number from that country.

Insufficient credits to enable call forwarding

Your balance doesn't cover the first charge. Buy more credits and try again.

Common questions

If there aren't enough credits at renewal for the number and the forwarding fee, you have 7 days to add credits. After that, the number is released and forwarding stops.
