New
Under a car, on a roof or with a customer, you can’t always pick up. Every caller you miss gets a text from your business number straight away, in your words, so the conversation carries on by text until you’re free to reply.
What changes
A text before they ring someone else
People who need a plumber, a table or an appointment often just ring the next number. A text from you straight away keeps you in the running, even if they never leave a voicemail.
Replies in one place
Their reply lands in Calls & texts as one conversation per customer. You answer from the app between jobs, and it always goes from your business number, not your personal mobile.
Nobody who rang disappears
Every call is logged, answered or missed, with whether each caller was texted back, any voicemail, and how many missed callers came back to you within a week.

By industry
The same feature works differently for a pub than a plumber. See how it works for yours.
Yes, a business number that we set up for you, and we handle any paperwork it needs. Calls to it ring your own phone as normal. Put it on your website, your van and your Google profile so customers ring it.
Whatever you’d like it to. Write it in your own words, or keep the standard message, and it goes from your business number straight away. Choose how long before the same caller is texted again, so nobody gets a text every time they ring.
From the app. Their replies land in Calls & texts as one conversation per customer, and your answer goes from your business number. You can ask for a text to your own phone when a customer writes, so you know to look.
Turn on press-a-key. To a phone line, your voicemail answering looks like you answering. With press-a-key, only pressing a key counts, so a call your voicemail takes still counts as missed and the caller still gets their text.
Yes. With both on, your phone still rings first, and the AI receptionist answers the calls you miss instead of voicemail, so there’s no text to send. If it can’t pick up for any reason, the text back and voicemail take over.
Book a free, no-pressure chat and we'll show you how missed-call text back would work for your business, set up and running for you.
