Help / Troubleshooting / Scarlett isn't answering
What's happening
Calls aren't reaching Scarlett. Nine times out of ten, the divert isn't actually on — it lives on your phone network, not in the app, so it's easy for it to be off without the app knowing.
Work through it in order

- Has the divert ever been verified? Open Settings → Scarlett number. If it doesn't show Divert working, that's your answer — set it up with Point your calls at Scarlett.
- Run Test divert. It proves the whole path in one call — read the result.
- Did you dial the code from the right phone? The divert must be set on the phone that receives your business number.
- Is the divert mode what you expect? "When unanswered" makes the caller wait ~20 seconds first. If you wanted every call, use Always.
- Did you change SIM, handset or network? Diverts don't survive a network change — re-dial the code.
- Still nothing? Email
hello@getscarlett.aiwith the number you dialled from and roughly when.
What's next
- Point your calls at Scarlett — set the divert.
- Test your divert and read the result — prove it's on.
- Calls aren't showing up — she answered, but nothing's in the log.
Still stuck? Email hello@getscarlett.ai with your business name and, if it’s about a call, roughly when it came in.
