Your phone buzzes in your pocket and there’s no way to grab it.

You / on the jobSound familiar?
The phone rings when your hands are full.
Not when you’re free.
You call back an hour later.
“Thanks, we already got somebody.”
A missed call. No voicemail.
Could have been a quick clog. Could have been a new water heater. You’ll never know.
Reply doesn’t answer the phone for you. It sends the first text, so the caller knows you’re real and you’ll get back to them.

Move the sliders to match your week.
Use your own numbers.

About 9 callers a month who reach your voicemail and try someone else.

Straight talk
Who it’s for.
Who it isn’t.
A good fit
- HVAC or plumbing shop, about 1 to 5 trucks
- You still answer some or all of the calls yourself
- No full-time dispatcher or answering service
- You miss enough calls that it bugs you
Probably not a fit
- Someone already answers your phones all day
- Your software already texts missed callers, and it works
- You want something to answer calls or book jobs for you
- You rarely miss a call
Not sure which side you’re on? Text me and I’ll tell you straight.

The practical stuff
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Still wondering about your setup?
Text Inder directlyDo I have to change my business number?
I use missed-call forwarding when your phone setup supports it and testing confirms the caller’s number comes through. Otherwise, I test a local tracking number on one channel. I confirm the path with you before going live.
What if my current software already does this?
I check that first. If your existing tools can handle the job, I’ll tell you. Reply is for businesses that need help setting up and managing missed-call follow-up.
Is this an AI receptionist?
No. Reply sends a text after a qualifying missed call and forwards customer responses to your phone. It does not answer calls, negotiate availability, or book appointments. You handle the customer conversation.
What counts as a qualifying missed call?
Any unanswered call from someone other than you. Anyone who has opted out never gets a text. If the same person calls twice within a few minutes, or already got a text in the last 24 hours, they don’t get another one.
What if I do not miss many calls?
Then it may not be worth paying for. I check your missed-call volume during the setup check before either of us spends more time on it.
What does it cost?
$299 includes setup and your first 30 live days for one location and one Reply number, with testing, monitoring, weekly recaps, business-hours support, and a results review. You pay once your number is live and tested. If we can't get it working on your phone setup, you don't pay. Your 30 live days begin when your number is live and a real test call passes. After that, continue at $199/month only if you choose. No auto-renew or automatic continuation. I confirm usage and support details with you before you start.
What happens on the setup check?
I call the number you provide. In 15 minutes, I check your existing tools, phone setup, and missed-call volume with you. If Reply fits, I walk you through what to measure during your pilot.
