# How to receive a call

You can forward incoming calls on any number of your choice via our [Flow Builder](https://dashboard.messagebird.com/en/flow-builder/) or through the API.

**Flow builder**

When you have purchased a Voice-enabled virtual mobile number, you can easily forward all incoming calls to another phone number or SIP URI by using our [Flow Builder](https://dashboard.messagebird.com/en/flow-builder).&#x20;

Check [How to forward calls to another phone number or SIP URI](https://docs.bird.com/connectivity-platform/how-to-guides/how-to-forward-calls-to-another-phone-number-or-sip-uri) for a step by step guide on how to set this specific flow.

**Forwarding to SIP (SIP URI formatting)**

When forwarding the incoming calls to a SIP trunk, please use the format below to insert your SIP URI:

"sip:\<number>@\<ip\_or\_domain>"\
for example: *sip:*[*+31612345678@sip.domain.com*](mailto:+31612345678@sip.domain.com)
