This code would be entered as part of the setup process instead of subscribing to a new buzzer number.

BuzzerBee lets you automate your building buzzer so guests, customers, or deliveries can get in to your building without you having to answer the phone. What you can do with BuzzerBee: • Temporarily "unlock" the buzzer when you're expecting guests • Set verbal access codes ("magic words") that visitors must say before access is granted • Create schedules (ex: business hours, cleaner access, open house) • Share buzzer control via the app with roommates, staff, or tenants • Forward buzzer calls to any other number (e.g. your personal number) in case an unexpected visitor buzzes • Get notified when building access has been granted • See a full history of access events --- How setup works: 1. Select a BuzzerBee phone number in the app based on your province/state local area code 2. Tell your building manager to connect this new phone number for your unit's buzzer 3. Set the digit that BuzzerBee needs to press in order unlock the door (usually 6 or 9) 4. That's it! Start controlling your buzzer using the app. No more missed deliveries or waiting guests!
