Grasshopper is a virtual phone service for solopreneurs and small businesses that want a professional business number without dedicated hardware. Owned by GoDaddy since 2015, Grasshopper runs entirely in the cloud, so calls ring through to your existing mobile or office phones via configurable forwarding rules. It's popular with owner-operators who need a separate business line on the same phone they already carry.
1. Sign in to Grasshopper
Go to https://nuui.us.grasshopper.com and log in with admin credentials.
2. Open Extensions
In the Grasshopper admin, select Extensions and click Edit next to your extension.
3. Add a forwarding number
Click Add a forwarding number and enter your CallSaver forwarding number.
4. Set the connect option
Select "Calls will connect to you as soon as you pick up" so the call connects without an extra prompt.
5. Order the ring sequence
Set the ring order so the CallSaver number rings after your existing phones, not before. That way you only forward calls you actually miss.
6. Save
Click Add this number to save the forwarding rule.
Official documentation
Grasshopper's voicemail and after-hours greetings keep the business looking professional, but they don't book any work. A caller who hears "leave a message after the tone" and then a beep usually just hangs up and calls the next contractor.
CallSaver becomes one more forwarding destination on your Grasshopper extension. When the calls before it (your phone, your team) go unanswered, CallSaver picks up. It has a real conversation with the caller, captures the details, and feeds the callback request into your CallSaver dashboard.
The schedule support is the unlock. You can have CallSaver only handle nights and weekends, or have it as the all-day fallback if your team is on a job site. Either pattern takes a couple of clicks in Grasshopper's admin.
