What is a missed call answering service?
A missed call answering service picks up the calls that would otherwise go to voicemail, so callers reach someone. Ours is an AI voice agent. It answers the calls that ring through after hours, or while you have call forwarding turned on, in your business name. It books the job on your calendar and sends you a summary of every after-hours call, sent to you by text.
How the forwarding works
Your number stays the same. After your business hours, calls forward to your agent. You can also turn call forwarding on yourself whenever you want the agent to take your calls, and turn it off when you are back. We set the forwarding up with you and show you how to switch it on and off. Having your phone ring first, with the agent picking up only the calls you miss, is daytime overflow, available on request, ask us. For the full after-hours setup, see the after-hours answering service.
- Customer calls your business number
- After hours, or call forwarding on? No: Your phone rings as normal. Available on request, ask us: daytime overflow, where a call you miss goes to your agent.
- Call rings through to your agent
- Caller still on the line? Hung up: available on request, ask us: text-back, callback, or a missed-call entry in your summary.

What the caller gets: voicemail vs text-back vs an answered call
| Question | Voicemail | Text-back | Answered by your agent |
|---|---|---|---|
| What the caller hears | A beep | Nothing on the call; a text after they hang up | Your business name and a question about their problem |
| What you get | A recording, if they leave one | A text thread, if they reply | Name, number read back, address, problem, best time |
| Urgent problems | Wait in the voicemail box | Depend on the caller texting the details | Asked about on the call and marked by your rules |
| Setup on your side | None | Business texting registration with carriers | Call forwarding on your number |
| Best for | Calls that can wait | Callers who prefer to text | Calls that would otherwise go to the next shop |
Text-back and an answering agent are not either/or. We set up the answering side; text-back is available on request, ask us.

What the agent does on a missed call
A greeting in your name. One question at a time: name, number read back, the problem, and the best time. It books the job in an open slot on your calendar. It repeats the details back and says goodbye. It declines pitches. On a silent line it asks once whether anyone is there, then says a polite goodbye. Forwarded calls get the same AI receptionist calendar booking, inside the hours and job types you set.
If the caller hangs up before the agent answers, text-back, callback, or a missed-call entry in your summary are available on request, ask us. None of them is part of the standard setup.
What you get after the call
A summary of every after-hours call, sent to you by text, with the caller's details, the booked time, and a LEAD or SPAM tag. Form and ad leads get the same fast reply with instant lead response, and the reasoning behind it is in our guide to speed to lead.

Questions
FAQ
What is a missed call answering service?
It answers the calls that would otherwise go to voicemail. Ours is an AI voice agent that picks up the calls that ring through after hours, or while you have call forwarding turned on. It answers in your business name, books the job on your calendar, and sends you a summary of every after-hours call, sent to you by text.
Does my phone still ring first?
Not in the standard setup. After hours, or while you have forwarding on, calls go straight to the agent. The rest of the time your phone rings as normal. Having your phone ring first and the agent take only the calls you miss is daytime overflow, available on request, ask us.
Do I keep my number?
Yes. Forwarding is set on your existing number, and you can turn it off at any time.
Is this the same as missed call text-back?
No. Text-back sends a text after the caller hangs up. An answering agent picks up the call while the caller is still on the line and asks what they need. Text-back is available on request, ask us.
What does the agent ask?
Their name, the best number to call back (read back to confirm), what they need, and a good time to call. You can add questions such as the service address.
What about spam calls?
The agent politely declines sales pitches and robocalls and marks them as spam in your summary.
What does it cost?
$897 setup, then $297 a month, month to month. Or $0 setup on a 12-month plan. Daytime overflow is available on request, ask us.
