Shared phone numbers

One number. Your whole team behind it.

In Ody, a phone number belongs to the workspace | every teammate can answer its calls, reply to its texts, and see its full history. Customers always see your business number, never a personal cell.

✓

Calls ring every signed-in teammate | web and iPhone together, first to answer wins

One outward identity: replies always come from the business number

✓

Per-number schedules decide who answers | the team, the AI receptionist, or voicemail

Stop routing business through personal cells

When the business line is someone's cell, the business is closed whenever they are. A workspace-owned number means anyone on the team can pick up the thread | and when a teammate leaves, the number, the conversations, and the customer history all stay.

Ring the team, not a phone

With ring-the-team answering, an inbound call rings every teammate who has the app open | desktop and iPhone at the same time. First to answer takes the call; if nobody does, the caller gets voicemail, transcribed into the shared inbox.

Every line can behave differently

Each number has its own voicemail greeting, answering mode, and schedule. Run the main line to the team during hours and the AI receptionist after; point a second support line straight at the AI around the clock.

Add lines as you grow

Every plan includes one number, and owners and admins can add more from Settings → Numbers | or port existing numbers in | without a support ticket.

Better with your stack

One number for the team. One list they all recognize.

Workspace-owned lines only work if every teammate sees the same names. Import once. Missed-call alerts go to the channel, not someone's cell.

Never miss another customer.

Port your number, train your agent in minutes, and put your line on autopilot. Or keep the AI off entirely. Your call.
