The call you missed is already calling somebody else

Somebody calls while you are under a sink. It rings out. They do not leave a voicemail and they do not call back, because the next result down answered. A text that lands seconds after the missed call is the cheapest way to stay in that conversation.

For anyone whose hands are full during the working day

A trade or a practice where calls arrive while you are physically doing the job.

A business on one number, where a missed call has nowhere else to land.

Anyone who has found three missed calls at five o'clock and known exactly what they were.


Not for: businesses with a staffed phone desk all day, where a person already answers. This fills a gap; it does not replace somebody who is already there.

What gets wired

The text itself, in your words

You approve the wording before it ever sends. It says who you are, that the call was seen, and when you will call back.

Carrier registration, filed for you

US carriers require business texting numbers to be registered. It is the slow part, so it is filed on day one rather than when it blocks you.

Replies that reach you

When they text back it arrives somewhere you already look, rather than in a tool you have to remember to open.

Hours that match yours

A different message after hours than during the day, because promising a call back shortly at 11pm reads as a lie.

Your existing number kept

No number change and no porting. The text comes from a number tied to the one people already have.

A monthly count

How many calls were missed, how many were texted, and how many replied. Three figures, in an email.

Registered first, then switched on

  1. Registration filed

    Carrier paperwork goes in the same day. Approval takes a few days and nothing can send until it clears.

  2. You approve the wording

    Two or three versions, you pick one. It never sends anything you have not read.

  3. Live, then read monthly

    Forwarding switches on the moment the carrier approves, and the counts arrive monthly.

Common questions

Does it pretend to be me?
No. It says plainly that the text was sent because the call was missed, and gives a real time for the call back. A message pretending a person typed it is the one thing that makes this backfire.
Why does it take a few days to switch on?
US carriers register business texting numbers before they will deliver, and that approval is theirs to give. We file it first so the waiting happens while everything else is being set up.
What happens when somebody replies?
The reply reaches you wherever you already read messages. This is a way into a conversation, not a way to avoid one.
What does missed-call text-back cost?
$79 a month on its own, or inside Front Desk at $299 a month with the receptionist and chat. Every price is on the pricing page with the arithmetic already done, rather than behind a call.
