What missed call text back actually does

You are on a job, the phone rings out. Most callers will not leave a voicemail; they ring the next company on the list. Missed call text back closes that gap. The moment a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a text from your business, so the conversation carries on while you finish what you are doing.

With CallCatcher the text is the start of a real exchange. The caller can say what the job is and where they are, and you get the details by text and email as they come in.

How it works

  1. A call goes unanswered. Calls divert to CallCatcher on rules you choose: when you are engaged, out of hours, or after a few rings.
  2. The caller gets a text in seconds. It comes from your business, apologises for missing them and asks how you can help.
  3. The details reach you. Messages, quote requests and bookings arrive by text and email, plus a daily summary.

Missed call recovery for tradesmen: why it matters

A missed call is rarely just a missed call. It is a boiler repair, a rewire or a roof quote that somebody else now gets to price. Use the calculator on our home page with your own numbers: missed calls a week, average job value and how many of those callers would have booked.

Text back only, or have the call answered too

Missed-Call Recovery covers text back, out-of-hours answering and message taking. If you would rather every call was answered by voice, around the clock, the Full AI Receptionist plan adds 24/7 answering in your company's voice, diary booking and emergency escalation.
