Tell your loved one your new phone number is
the Alz Calls assigned phone number. You can do this by re-programming their
phone or updating their phone directory.

When your loved one calls this number,
- we'll forward the phone call if you're available.
- if you're not available, the phone will go to voicemail or our virtual assistant.

To call your loved one, use
the Alz Calls assigned phone number. This will directly connect you to your loved one.
You can always call your loved one directly, but then
they might try to call you back with your original number and we can no longer
screen your phone calls.
Program us in your phone directory as loved one's name-AlzCalls

Get Notified in Emergencies
We always look for emergency words
in your voicemail, such as
You will be notified by both SMS and email if we think the phone call is important.
While we try our best to detect when help is needed, we cannot guarantee
that we will detect all emergencies and
you should check your voicemail often. Also,
you may receive notifications that are not emergencies because we err on the side of being cautious.
