Dialing *72 forwards all calls so your phone never rings — you don’t want that one. You can also manage call forwarding in the My Verizon app or website.

Test it

Ask a friend to call your number and don’t answer. After a few rings she should pick up in your business’s name. You’ll see the call in your app a minute later.
