Missed Call Text Back for Plumbers & Electricians
You can't answer the phone from under a sink.
So throw out the voicemail and let a text do it.
Miss a call and it forwards to your texting line. A text goes out in 8 seconds, asks what's wrong, and books the job — while your hands are still full.
The Problem
Every missed call is a job
the other guy gets.
You're under a sink. Your phone rings. Your hands are wet and full of gunk.
It goes to voicemail. But people with water on the floor don't leave voicemails. They just call the next plumber.
He picks up. He gets your $600 job. You never even knew they called.
Miss 3 calls a week at $450 each. That's $70,000 a year gone.
The math nobody wants to doStep One
Voicemail is a junk drawer.
We throw it out.
Here's the setup. Your phone rings like always. If you don't pick up by the fourth ring, the call forwards to a texting line we set up for your business.
No beep. No "leave a message." A text goes out instead.
Your customers still call the same number on your truck. They just get an answer now.
"Leave a message after the tone."
Something they'll actually read
How It Works
Your phone rings. You don't answer.
The job gets booked anyway.
The number on your truck never changes. We just kill the voicemail behind it.
After 4 rings it rolls to your texting line instead of voicemail.
In 8 seconds. From your texting line, in your words.
What broke, where they are, how bad it is.
Right onto your calendar. You get a text with the details.
What They See
It reads like you texted back.
Your words. Your prices. Your service area.
Most people would rather text than talk anyway — especially when they're standing in a flooded laundry room.
You can jump in and take over any time.
The Offer
Replace a $3,000 a month hire
with one that never sleeps.
Full-time front desk person
One flat rate. No contract.
What You Get
It doesn't stop at
the missed call.
Once you're texting customers, a lot of the stuff you never get around to just starts happening on its own.
Asks what broke, where they are, and puts it on your calendar.
"Send me a picture." Now you know what you're walking into before you drive out.
Burst pipe or a sparking panel? It pings your phone right away.
A text the day before and one when you're on the way. Fewer no-shows.
Job's done, they're happy, and a text asks for a Google review. That's how you get found.
Sent a quote and heard nothing? It follows up so you don't have to.
Yearly flush, filter change, system check. It texts them when it's time.
Slow week? Send a blast to every customer who opted in. Fill the schedule.
Who called, what they needed, what got promised. All in one place.
No Homework for You
You'll never hear the words "A2P 10DLC" again.
Before a business can text customers, the phone carriers make you register. That's what A2P 10DLC is. It's slow, picky, and a pain.
Most guys who try it themselves give up. Their texts get blocked and they never find out why.
We do all of it. Send us your business name and EIN. Then go back to work.
Built For
Any trade where the phone rings
while your hands are full.
What It Costs
Run it five months
for $500 flat.
Call it a trial. No contract, no cancel fee, no strings. Take it through a busy season and count what it books for you.
The Trial Run
Everything set up and running. That one number covers your first five months. Nothing else to sign.
After the Trial
Flat monthly rate. Cancel whenever you want, for any reason.
Website, If You Need One
Added to your plan. Covers hosting and upkeep. We can have it live the same day.
Why a website is part of this
The carriers changed the rules. To get approved for business texting now, you have to have a live website showing a privacy policy and how customers opt in. No website, no approval. There's no way around it.
Already have a site? Great, we'll use it. Don't have one? We build and host it — same day — for $15 a month on top of the text agent. On its own, a website from us runs $50 a month.
Straight Answers
Questions guys
actually ask.
Somebody calls. You don't pick up. They get a text from you about 8 seconds later. They text back what's wrong, get their questions answered, and book a time. You never touch your phone.
No. We file it, deal with the carriers, and keep it clean. We just need your business name and EIN. That's your whole job.
No. Same number on your truck, your signs, and Google. Here's what actually changes: we shut off the voicemail on that line and forward unanswered calls to a texting line we set up for your business. The customer dials the same number they always did.
Yes, and that's the point. Voicemail collects junk and callers who already hung up. This replaces it with something that answers, asks questions, and books work. Think of it as a voicemail that actually does something.
Yes. After the job is done, it texts the customer and asks for a Google review with a direct link. Most guys never get around to asking. This asks every single time, which is how you climb the map results.
Yes, anyone who opted in. Slow week, a cold snap, a promo — send one text and fill the schedule. It also handles recurring reminders on its own, like a yearly water heater flush or a filter change, if that fits your trade.
For a small shop, it's better. A receptionist costs about $3,000 a month and works 40 hours a week. This works all week, answers in 8 seconds, and handles a rush of calls at once.
Those are the best ones. A 10pm caller gets an answer right away and books the morning slot. Or it flags a real emergency so you can decide if it's worth the drive.
It sounds like a busy owner texting from a job, because that's how it's written. And honestly, people care about getting a fast answer more than who typed it.
One to three weeks, and we push to have you live in five business days. The part we can't rush is carrier approval — we file it and chase it, but they set the pace. The website side can go up the same day. Your part is one short phone call about how you run your shop.
$500 covers your first five months — that's the trial, no contract, no cancel fee. After that it's $150 a month. Add $15 a month if you need the website carrier registration requires. One saved emergency call usually covers the whole month. Reach out or call (231) 292-8304.
Yes, and this one isn't optional. The carriers now require a live website with a privacy policy and opt-in language before they'll approve a business for texting. No site, no approval. If you have one, we use it. If you don't, we put one up the same day for $15 a month on top of your plan. On its own it'd be $50 a month, so it's the cheap part. See website creation.
