The safety net under the safety net
Missed Call Text Back, Built Into a Receptionist Who Rarely Misses
Other tools text your leads after the call is already lost. Ours answers the call first — and if anyone ever hangs up early, they get an instant text so the job still lands.
Why text-back alone isn't enough
Missed call text back was invented because businesses miss so many calls. It works, but think about what it admits: the phone rang, and nobody answered. The caller is already annoyed, already dialing the next company, and now they get a text asking them to type out what they could have said out loud. The better fix is answering the call. Amelia picks up on the first ring, 24/7, books the job, and uses text-back only for the rare hang-up or dropped call.

Missed call text back questions
What is missed call text back?
When a call to your business goes unanswered or gets cut off, the caller instantly receives a text like 'Sorry we missed you! How can we help?' It keeps the lead engaged instead of letting them dial your competitor.
Does missed call text back actually work?
Yes. CallRail's own product data found leads were over six times more likely to engage with an answered AI call than with voicemail, and 70% of customers choose the first business to respond. An instant text keeps you first in that race even when the call itself was missed.
How is your version different from Podium or other tools?
Text-back alone still means the call went unanswered. With us, an AI receptionist named Amelia answers the call first, on the first ring, and books the job. The text-back is a safety net for hang-ups and dropped calls, not the whole plan.
What does the automatic text say?
Something human: 'Hi, this is Amelia with [your business]. Looks like we got cut off! Call me back any time, day or night, and I'll get you taken care of.' You can customize the wording.
Can it text appointment links or review requests too?
Yes. Amelia's texting also sends booking confirmations, calendar invites, and after a job is done, a one-tap Google review request to the customer.
What does missed call text back cost?
Tools like Podium bundle it into plans that really cost $500+ a month. With us it is part of the receptionist service: $99 a month founding price, which also includes the AI answering, booking, recordings, and the dashboard.
Do customers have to opt in?
Texting rules in the US (TCPA, FCC, and carrier requirements) depend on the type of message and the consent behind it. Our SMS workflows are configured with opt-out handling, including STOP requests, and text people who just called your business. You remain responsible for using texting in line with the rules that apply to your business, and we help you set it up conservatively.
Does it work with my existing number?
Yes. You keep your number. Calls forward to Amelia, and texts go out from your business's dedicated line.
