KEEP YOUR BUSINESS NUMBER

Add an AI receptionist without automatically asking customers to learn a different public phone number.

QUICK ANSWERIn many supported setups, a business can keep the phone number customers already know and connect eligible missed, overflow or after-hours calls to an AI receptionist through an approved routing method. The exact method depends on the carrier, phone system and provider configuration.

Where the process breaks

Changing a long-standing business number can create customer confusion and force updates across listings, vehicles, printed materials, websites and directories.

What LINKERNO changes

LINKERNO is designed to evaluate the safest supported connection method for the existing number before requiring a new public number. A new paid number is not automatically purchased during ordinary signup.

Current availability: Existing-number connection depends on the carrier and phone system. Forwarding, SIP/import or another supported method may be used only after the configuration path is verified. See current product status.

A simple customer journey

1Keep the current public business number
2Review the carrier and existing phone setup
3Choose the supported routing or connection method
4Test the call path before broader customer use

Will I definitely be able to keep my current number?

LINKERNO is designed to preserve the existing public number where a supported connection path is available, but the exact result depends on the carrier, phone system and technical configuration.
