Keep your number. Each page says what to get from your current provider, then how to move it.

Where things are

Sign in at dashboard.tonet.ai. The menu on the left has:

  1. The menu. Overview, Manage, Calls, Messages, Contacts, Knowledge and Analytics.
  2. Phones and Team. Your lines, and who on your team is online.
  3. All communications. Every call, text and voicemail, with Tonet's one-line summary of each call.
  4. What Tonet noticed. Patterns in your calls, like callers asking about Saturdays, with a suggestion.
  5. The bell. Missed calls, voicemails and messages from the last 7 days.
  6. Your balance. Opens Billing. Owners and managers only.

Owners and managers also see Account and Billing inside Manage.

Manage has its own menu. On a wide screen it sits beside the page. On a laptop it takes the left menu's place: click Back to leave Manage, or Show the full sidebar to see both. On a phone it's a row of buttons at the top of the page.

Every button in the menu and the top bar, and how the dashboard looks on a laptop or a phone: see Find your way around the dashboard.

Ways to take calls

A call to you rings everywhere you're signed in, at once. Answer wherever you are.

  • In the browser. Nothing to install. Allow the microphone when asked.
  • The phone app for iPhone and Android. Rings on the lock screen, with your business number.
  • The desktop app. Keeps your line on with the window closed. Linux now; Windows and Mac are coming.
  • A desk phone. Any standard SIP phone works. See IP Phones.
  • Your cell number, without the app. See forward calls to a cell.

Need help?

  • Click Ask Tonet, the chat button at the bottom right of the dashboard. You can reach a person there too.
  • Email support@tonet.ai.
  • Call (888) 836-3006.
