Why are Sideline calls (or voicemails) routing to my cell number and not Sideline?

Have you experienced an incoming Sideline call going to your cell number, rather than your Sideline number?

While we have systems in place to ensure this doesn't happen, there may be instances out of our control in which your incoming calls may be routed to your cell number instead of your Sideline number. These instances are outlined below:

1. If you decline an incoming Sideline call - avoid declining your incoming calls to your Sideline number. Instead, just simply let the call ring through or turn your "Forward Calls to Voicemail" on.
2. If you do not have cell service on your phone - if you know you're going to be in an area without cell service, try enabling "Call Announcement" or "Forward Calls to Voicemail."
3. If you have "do-not-disturb" turned on through your device Settings - if you need to avoid distractions during your day, we would suggest turning on "Forward Calls to Voicemail" to make sure any calls are still routed properly.

If you're experiencing any of these issues, please review the information below to help prevent calls from routing to your personal cell number: 

Enable "Forward Calls to Voicemail" 

• This feature will route your incoming calls straight to your Sideline voicemail.
• To enable/disable: Sideline Settings > tap or swipe to toggle on/off. 

Limitation: If you're part of Team Number, you do not have a "Forward Calls to Voicemail" option, but Call Announcement is always enabled which will help route calls. 

Enable "Call Announcement" 

• Helps to route incoming calls to Sideline.
• Enable when in an area with weak/no service
• More info: Call Announcement Feature
