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.

•*78 — Do Not Disturb ON
•*79 — Do Not Disturb OFF
•*77 — Reject Anonymous Calls ON
•*87 — Reject Anonymous Calls OFF
•*67 — Block your Caller ID for the next call (or all future calls)
•*68 — Unblock Caller ID
