Can I use my existing number as my business number with MyOperator?
Yes, you can! MyOperator allows you to use your current mobile number as your business number by enabling call forwarding to your MyOperator setup.
📞 How to forward your existing number to MyOperator
Follow these steps to start receiving calls from your current number via MyOperator:
- Contact your mobile operator
Call your mobile provider’s customer support from the number you wish to forward. - Request call forwarding activation
Ask the representative to enable call forwarding and provide your MyOperator business number as the forwarding destination (e.g., +91 80XXXXXXX). - Confirm call forwarding is supported on your plan
Some operators require call forwarding to be activated as a separate feature—make sure it’s enabled. - (Optional) Set up call forwarding manually on your phone
If self-setup is available, use your device’s settings: - Android: Phone app → Settings → Call settings → Call forwarding
- iPhone: Settings → Phone → Call Forwarding
- Or dial:**21*<MyOperator Number># → Call Example:
**21*918012345678# - Test the setup
Call your original number from another device to verify the call is routed to your MyOperator number.
🔍 When is this useful?
- You want to use your personal number for business without porting it.
- You're transitioning to MyOperator and need to retain accessibility on your old SIM.
- You want to centralize calls to a shared business dashboard for your team.
