Your phone rang. TextBacks answered with a text.
When you can’t pick up, your caller gets a friendly text from your business within seconds. They know you’re real, they know you’ll get back to them, and they stop dialing around.
The phone doesn’t ring at a good time
The best jobs often come in while your hands are full. What happens in the next minute decides who gets the work.
It rings mid-job
You’re in a crawlspace, behind the wheel, or talking a client through a quote. Answering isn’t an option.
Silence feels like a no
A caller who hears a ringing phone and nothing else assumes you’re busy or closed, and keeps scrolling.
Someone else books it
Whoever answers first usually wins. You never find out the job existed, and it happens again next week.

Robocalls don’t get your text
Not every caller is a customer. TextBacks checks each new number before it texts back, so robocallers don’t get your message and you don’t get bothered.
Real phone numbers get your text
Calls from cell phones and regular phone lines are texted back right away.
Likely spam is set aside
Internet numbers often used by spammers don’t get a text. They’re marked in your inbox so you can still reply if you know them.
You stay in control
Turn the filter on or off any time in your settings.

Questions, answered
What is missed call text back?
When you can’t answer, your caller automatically gets a text from your business within seconds. Instead of giving up and calling someone else, they reply to your text and wait for you.
Do I need a new phone or a new number?
No. Customers keep calling your usual number and your phone rings like always. We give you a local TextBacks number that only sends the texts.
How fast does the text go out?
Within seconds of the missed call. Your customer knows right away that you got their call.
Will my phone still ring normally?
Yes. TextBacks only gets the calls you don’t answer, the ones that come in while you’re on another call, and the ones that come in when your phone is off.
What happens to my voicemail?
TextBacks takes your voicemails from now on. Callers can still leave a message, and you can play it or read it in your TextBacks inbox. If you ever leave, we show you how to get your old voicemail back.
Does it work with iPhones?
Yes, with any cell phone. iPhones have one setting, called Live Voicemail, that needs to be off. We show you exactly where it is during setup.
How does the spam filter work?
Before texting a new caller, we check what kind of number it is. Cell phones and regular phone lines get your text right away. Internet phone numbers often used by spammers are set aside and marked in your inbox, so you can still text them if they’re real.
How much does it cost?
$99.99 CAD a month plus tax, with unlimited texts and everything included. Your first month is free, and there’s no contract.
What if I want to cancel?
Cancel any time from your settings. No contract and no fees. If you’re not happy after your first paid month, we’ll refund it in full.
Is this only for contractors?
It works for any business where a missed call can mean a missed job: plumbers, electricians, roofers, HVAC, landscapers, cleaners, movers, auto shops and more.
