# Tradie Texts

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/559849/Tradie-Texts

> Missed calls cost tradies real jobs. You're under a house, up a ladder, or driving between jobs when the phone rings out, and half the time the caller leaves no voicemail. They don't wait around either. They've already decided to hire someone, and while you're wiping your hands they're ringing the next name on the list.

Tradie Texts catches that missed call and texts the caller back in about 5 seconds, before they've dialled anyone else. That text is often enough to hold the job while you finish what you're on.

How it works:

You keep the number you already hand out. Forward it to your Tradie Texts number and calls still ring through to your mobile as normal, so nothing changes for the caller and nothing gets reprinted on the van. You accept a call by pressing a key, which is how the system tells you picking up apart from your carrier's voicemail picking up. That makes detection voicemail-proof: a call swallowed by voicemail still counts as missed, because voicemail can't press a key.

A miss fires an SMS to the caller straight away, named as your business. From there the AI runs a short conversation over text: what's the job, where is it, how urgent. If the answers point to a real emergency, Tradie Texts escalates to you on the spot by SMS and a branded email, so it doesn't sit waiting for you to open an app.

The missed call, the replies, and the full transcript all land in a dashboard, with the job details, the urgency, and a suggested callback time. You ring back knowing what you're walking into instead of dialling a stranger. It runs around the clock by default, so a call that rings out at 9pm Sunday gets the same text back as one at 9am Tuesday.

Plans (AUD/month):

Solo, $49. One inbound number that forwards to your phone, up to 200 SMS a month, AI qualifying on every missed call, emergency escalation by SMS and email, and the full dashboard. For an owner-operator with one phone and one truck.

Crew, $129. Everything in Solo, plus a teammate seat, AI job routing that sends each job to the right person by trade, team chat for your crew, and a custom AI persona and greeting trained on your trade. The SMS cap lifts to 1,500 a month. For a crew running two to five vans.

Fleet, $299. Everything in Crew, plus up to four teammate seats, unlimited SMS on fair use, and priority support. For multi-trade shops and franchises.

Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial on the Solo tier, no credit card. Cancel anytime, no carry-on.

Built and supported in Australia:

Tradie Texts is built and supported in Australia, for Australian trade businesses, on Australian mobile numbers. Every message names your business, and a STOP reply is honoured for good, not just for that one conversation. You're texting someone who rang you first, which is what the Spam Act allows.

It won't fix every call. SMS can't reach a withheld number or a landline, and a caller who'd rather talk than text will still want a phone call. What it's built for is the ordinary missed call from a mobile, the one that rings out today and hands the job to your competitor.
