Missed Call Text Back for Contractors
You can't always answer the phone on a job site. Missed Call Text Back sends an instant, personalized text to every caller you miss — keeping the lead alive until you can follow up.
The full missed call text back stack, wired for contractors.
Instant Response
Text goes out within seconds of the missed call — before the homeowner calls your competitor.
Personalized Messages
Texts include your company name and feel like they came from a real person.
Two-Way Conversation
Leads can text back and start a conversation, which gets captured in your pipeline.
No App Required
Works automatically in the background. No buttons to press, no apps to open.
Why this matters.
Every missed call gets an automatic text reply within seconds. Keep leads warm while you finish the job you are on.
Built around the way your office works.
For contractors who miss calls while driving between jobs, talking to customers, or working with tools. A short acknowledgment gives a caller another way to explain the job while your team finishes its current work.
From the first step to the handoff.
- STEP 1
Detect the unanswered call
The connected phone workflow identifies a missed call and checks the configured messaging rules. It depends on the call passing through the supported number or routing.
- STEP 2
Send a useful acknowledgment
The approved text identifies your business and asks for the next useful detail. SMS requires a text-capable destination, applicable permission, and carrier delivery.
- STEP 3
Continue the conversation
Replies enter the connected inbox so your team can respond with context. Longer nurture sequences are a separate Growth feature, and an inquiry does not automatically enroll someone in promotional texts.
Example text after a missed call
Illustrative workflow. Your wording, connections, and rules are agreed during setup.
- “Hi, this is the team at your plumbing company. Sorry we missed your call. What service do you need, and what ZIP code are you in?”
- The customer replies with the issue and location.
- Your office checks the request and confirms a callback or estimate.
What setup requires.
We confirm the connected business number, what counts as a missed call, the sender name, reply wording, contact hours, and where replies should go. Messaging registration and consent requirements must be addressed before activation. Test from a real phone before using the flow with customers.
Scope, costs, and the details that matter.
Will this work with my existing phone?
Often the existing business number can be retained with supported routing, but the answer depends on your carrier and current phone setup. We confirm forwarding or porting options before changing anything.
Does every missed caller receive a text?
Delivery requires a usable, text-capable number, the appropriate permission, and a working carrier connection. Blocked caller IDs, landlines, opt-outs, and carrier restrictions can prevent delivery. Text-back is a response channel, not a guarantee that every caller will receive or answer a message.
Will repeat calls send duplicate messages?
We agree the missed-call trigger and repeat-contact behavior during setup, then test it with repeated calls. Tell us how your office treats repeat and existing-customer calls so the configuration matches the intended experience.
Is it included in Starter?
Yes. Starter includes missed-call text-back at $97/month. Number rental, SMS segments, carrier fees, and any required registration are additional usage-related costs. Growth adds the AI Receptionist and automated follow-up sequences.
How long does setup take, and what do I need to do?
The published onboarding target is 10 business days for Starter and 7 for Growth priority onboarding. Timing depends on receiving the required content, account access, approvals, and any carrier or platform registration. We handle the agreed setup; you provide accurate business instructions and approve the result.
What is the full price, including usage?
Starter is $97/month and Growth is $297/month. Annual options are $970 and $2,970 respectively. Telephone, SMS/MMS, email, AI, and other metered services may be additional, along with applicable taxes. Use the Phone Pricing & Billing Guide for published communication rates and confirm any other usage charges in your written order.
How do support, cancellation, and refunds work?
Email support@dreamsurge.ai for support or cancellation. First-time subscriptions have a 30-day refund policy. Cancellation normally requires 30 days’ notice unless your accepted order or applicable law provides otherwise; prepaid or elapsed service is not automatically refunded outside the refund policy. Our Terms explain the details.
How do I know the setup fits my business before launch?
Use the demo to review your services, current tools, required connections, and expected usage. The written order defines the deliverables and charges. Before activation, review the content and test the agreed inquiry, booking, notification, and opt-out paths with us.
