Forwarding to voicemail means many callers hang up without leaving a message. Forwarding to your cell means interruptions on job sites. Forwarding to Claudessa means professional, informed call handling around the clock.

Claudessa answers

Every forwarded call is picked up by an AI that knows your business — services, pricing, service area, emergency protocols. It qualifies leads, takes the booking request, takes detailed messages, and transfers urgent calls.

Where You Forward Matters More Than Forwarding Itself

Call forwarding is free. The question is what happens when the call arrives.

Why Home Services Businesses Need Smart Forwarding

You’re under a house fixing a pipe. Your phone rings. You can’t answer. With basic forwarding, that call goes to voicemail — and the homeowner calls your competitor.

HVAC emergency at 11 PM on a Saturday? With Claudessa, the call gets answered, the emergency is flagged, and you get a notification with full details.

The numbers

Home services businesses miss calls while on-site. A few-hundred-dollar job at a one-in-four close rate makes each missed call worth $50–125. At 40 missed calls per month, that’s $2,000–5,000 walking out the door.

Forward your calls. We’ll handle the rest.

Set up forwarding on your carrier

Verizon cell phone: Dial *71 + your Claudessa number (*72 would forward every call)

Verizon home phone: Ask Verizon to turn on Don’t Answer forwarding to your Claudessa number

AT&T: Ask AT&T to turn on forwarding for the calls you don’t answer

T-Mobile: Dial **61*1 + your 10-digit Claudessa number + # (**21* would forward every call)

RingCentral: In the app, Settings → Phone → Call handling → Edit, then under Missed calls choose Forward to external number (if you set custom hours, do the same on the After hours tab)

Google Voice: Google doesn’t support forwarding to an automated system, and calls to your number also ring on your linked numbers. On Workspace Voice Standard or Premier, set up an auto attendant that transfers callers to your Claudessa number (the entry-level Voice plan has none)

Done
