I’ve worked freelance for a small company for a few months now and just got asked to join the team full-time. I’m super excited but stumped at this one: my new boss has been using his personal phone number as the business number and I feel like it’s too late to switch it to another number. This number is on the Google Business profile, the socials, every email sent over, and this business is almost 7 years old with a cache of customers knowing this number.

Any recommendations for number forwarding so I can start taking phone calls while he maintains this number? I’ve looked into Google Voice but I want a better idea about how this might work before I go into a meeting later this week as to how we should move forward.

Thanks for the help!

    Tell him to go to whoever his phone carrier is and ask them to add another Sim for a personal line. That’s how I have mine set up and I can switch between my personal line and my business line on my phone and it will also put a P next to calls that are calling in on your personal line and a B next to calls that are calling in on your business line. I know with the new iPhones you can have two e- Sims
