Star code reference: NetSapiens / Crexendo carriers

Star code reference for NetSapiens-powered carriers (including Crexendo, and hundreds of white-label providers). Different scheme from BroadSoft.

NetSapiens (owned by Crexendo since 2021) is the platform behind thousands of regional and white-label cloud phone carriers worldwide. It uses a different star-code scheme from BroadSoft — most notably, it separates "set the destination" codes from "activate" codes.

If your provider's softphone is branded as SNAPmobile, SNAPbuilder, SNAPaccel, or similar — or if they advertise Crexendo under the hood — these codes apply.

Forwarding codes

NetSapiens has two flavors of forwarding codes: "set and activate" and "activate saved" (turn on a previously-configured destination).

*72 — Call Forward Always: Set and Activate. Enter *72 + destination number.

*40 — Call Forward Always: Activate (uses the number saved by a previous *72).

*73 — Call Forward Always: Deactivate.

*41 — Call Forward Busy: Set and Activate. Enter *41 + destination number.

*90 — Call Forward Busy: Activate (uses the saved number).

*91 — Call Forward Busy: Deactivate.

*42 — Call Forward No Answer: Set and Activate. Enter *42 + destination number.

*92 — Call Forward No Answer: Activate (uses the saved number).

*93 — Call Forward No Answer: Deactivate.

The two-step trick

Because NetSapiens separates "set" from "activate," you can configure a forwarding destination once and then toggle it on and off without re-entering the number. For 365 Agents this is useful when you want to turn the AI agent on at night and off during the day:

•Day 1: dial *72 + your 365 Agents number. Forwarding is now active.

•Later that day, turn it off with *73.

•Next time you want it on, just dial *40 — no need to re-enter the number.
