Yes, You Can Use Jane with a Landline — Here’s How

Running a trade business often means relying on the tools that work best for you — and for many, that includes a trusty landline. If you’ve been wondering whether you need a fancy smartphone or the latest tech to use Jane, the answer is simple: you don’t. Jane works seamlessly with landline phones, and in this post, we’ll show you exactly how.

Why Jane Works for Landline Users

Jane was designed to be simple and accessible — no matter how you prefer to take your calls. Whether you’re using a mobile or a landline, Jane can still answer for you, qualify leads, block spam, and even schedule jobs into your calendar.

If you use a landline as your main business number, Jane can be connected via call forwarding. That means every time a call rings on your landline, Jane can pick it up and do the heavy lifting.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Sign up for Jane

When you sign up for Jane, you’ll be given your own dedicated Jane phone number. You can use this number directly, or you can forward your existing landline number to Jane so she can answer on your behalf.

Step 2: Set up Call Forwarding from your landline

This step depends on your phone carrier. Most landline service providers offer easy call forwarding by dialing a code. You’ll enter your Jane number, and from that moment, Jane will answer when your landline rings.

Step 3: Let Jane Handle It

Once call forwarding is set up, Jane steps in. She’ll greet your callers, collect job details, qualify the lead, and send everything to you in the Jane app. You don’t need to be near your landline to know who called or what they needed — Jane keeps your workday flowing smoothly.

Benefits of Using Jane with a Landline

  • Never miss a call — even when you’re on-site or after hours.

  • Still receive leads and appointment requests without picking up the phone.

  • Maintain your existing business number — no need to change what’s already working.

  • Add a professional layer to your business without overcomplicating things.

Final Thoughts

Jane was built with real tradespeople in mind — no matter what phone setup you use. If a landline works for your business, Jane will fit right in. Set up your forwarding once, and Jane will take care of the rest — answering calls, qualifying leads, and keeping your business running 24/7.
