The problem

A missed call is a customer choosing someone else

Without text back

  • Caller reaches voicemail and hangs up
  • You find out hours later, if at all
  • The customer has already called someone else

With TextBack

  • Caller gets a friendly text within seconds
  • They reply in one tap, and it lands in your inbox
  • You reply when you are free and book the job

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is missed call text back?

Missed call text back is an automation that sends a text message to a customer whose call your business could not answer. Instead of sitting in voicemail, the caller gets a friendly message within seconds and can reply to start a conversation.

How does TextBack work?

You connect a TextBack number, forward your unanswered calls to it, and write the message you want callers to receive. When a call goes unanswered, TextBack waits the delay you choose (15 seconds by default) and texts the caller. Their reply lands in your TextBack inbox.

How long does setup take?

Most owners finish creating an account, connecting the number, setting up call forwarding, and writing their message in about 10 minutes on the shared number. A dedicated number (Pro plan) and US carrier messaging registration can add extra time, so we tell you clearly what applies to your plan.

Do I need to change my business phone number?

No. Customers keep calling the number they already know. Your unanswered calls are forwarded to TextBack, which handles the text-back.

How much does TextBack cost?

Plans start at $29.99/month for Starter (150 SMS), $49.99/month for Growth (300 SMS), and $79.99/month for Pro (500 SMS with a dedicated number). Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, and you can manage or cancel your subscription from the billing portal inside your account.
