Stop losing jobs to calls you can't answer
You're up a ladder, hands full, and the phone rings out. That caller doesn't leave a message — they ring the next tradie on the list. Missed-call text-back fixes it: the second you miss a call, it automatically texts them back something like "Sorry I missed you — what do you need?" Most reply. The job's saved, and you call them back when you're down.
How many jobs are you losing to missed calls?
More than you'd think. When you're flat out you can't catch every call — and here's the part that stings: most people who reach a missed call don't leave a message and don't call back. They just dial the next tradie. You never even know the job existed. It's the quietest, most expensive leak in the business.
How does the text-back work?
It's dead simple, and it all happens on its own:
- A call comes in and rings out because you're busy.
- Within seconds, the caller gets a friendly text from your number.
- They reply with what they need — now you've got the lead in writing.
- You call them back when you're off the tools. Job saved.
No app for them, no new number for you, and nothing for you to remember to do.
Does this replace answering the phone?
No — and it's not meant to. When you can answer, you answer. This catches the ones you can't get to, so a busy day never quietly costs you work again.

Questions tradies actually ask
No. It just sends them a normal text. Works on any phone, nothing for them to download.
Yes — it's your message, in your words. Most tradies keep it simple and friendly: "Sorry I missed you, I'm on a job — what do you need and I'll call you back."
Then nothing is sent. The text only fires when a call actually goes unanswered.
Yes. We set it up around the number you already use, so your customers see the same number they always have.
