Missed call text back sends an automatic text to a mobile caller whose call ends without a conversation, within seconds and from the number they rang, so they reply instead of ringing the next business. Built for Australian tradies and small businesses, it’s included on Growth at A$499 a month plus A$1,999 set-up, ex GST, and on Pro.
You’re under a house, up a ladder or already on a call. The phone rings out. The caller doesn’t leave a voicemail, because most people don’t. They go back to Google and ring the next name. By the time you see the missed call at 5:30pm, someone else has the job.
On Growth and Pro the AI answers on the first ring, so most calls are never missed. This is for the few that still slip through.
A missed call is a phone number you already own.
The whole idea
How it works
A ring-out, a text, then a job.
It needs a phone number, so it’s on Growth and Pro. An Australian mobile is included, or keep your number and divert to it.
Step 01
A call ends unanswered
They hang up on the greeting, ring while the line is busy or reach a mobile out of range.
The ring-out
Step 02
A text goes out in seconds
From the number they rang, naming your business, saying it’s an AI assistant and asking what they need.
Within seconds
Step 03
The AI answers their reply
It answers, quotes from your price list and books a free time in your calendar. You get the details by text.
When they reply
We write the message, you approve it, and we test it before it goes live, as part of your Growth set-up: 10 to 14 business days. How we set it up for you →
What you get
Not an auto-reply. A conversation.
Standard on Growth and Pro. Texts are billed by use.
01
Fires within seconds
The call ending without a conversation is the trigger, at any hour.
02
From your number, in your name
It lands in the thread they started, with your business name first.
03
A real answer, not a queue
Their reply goes to the same AI that answers your phone.
04
Books into your calendar
Real free times, your call-out fee and your rules about what can wait.
05
A call-back when they ask
Ask for a person and it takes a message and requests a call-back.
Example business: a plumber in Epping. Marion’s hot water has gone cold. She rings, hears an AI greeting and hangs up.
4:41pm
Marion rings and hangs up · Phone
Four seconds in, she hears an AI voice and hangs up. No voicemail.
4:41pm
The text back · SMS
“Hi, it’s Northshore Plumbing, sorry we missed you. You’re texting our AI assistant. What’s happening? Reply ‘call me’ for a call-back from Sam.”
4:44pm
Marion · SMS
“Hot water’s gone cold. No leak. I don’t like talking to machines, but I can type. Tomorrow morning?”
4:45pm
The reply · SMS
“No leak, so it can wait till morning. Sam has 8 to 10 or 11 to 1. Call-out is A$110, taken off the job if he fixes it then. Which suits?”
4:47pm
Marion · SMS
“The 8 to 10 one please. 14 Beecroft Road.”
Result
Booked six minutes after a four-second call.
Example call for an example business. The A$110 call-out is the example plumber’s price, not ours. Plenty of people who won’t talk to an AI voice will text one. What answers the calls she didn’t hang up on →
On Growth and Pro
Most calls never need a text back.
The AI receptionist answers on the first ring, day or night, so text back only catches what slips past. Running now for Employment Star, Dealia and Advantek Australia, set up by our team in Parramatta.
It covers calls that reach the number on your account.

Calls that get a text
Growth A$499 · Pro from A$799
The greeting hang-up
They hear an AI voice and hang up within seconds. The most common one.
The line was busy
A second call comes in while the line is busy.
Out of range
A mobile on your account has no signal, so the divert fails.
Diverted to voicemail
You sent the line to voicemail. They hear the beep and hang up.
It doesn't
Calls it can’t text
No text for these
A number we never see
A personal mobile you haven’t diverted never reaches your account.
A landline caller
A landline can’t get a text, so it’s flagged for a ring back.
A withheld number
No number, no text. The call is still logged.
A call that was answered
They spoke to your business, so it isn’t a missed call.
Anyone who has replied STOP
That number is out for good.
The rules it follows: it texts only a number that has just rung you, names your business first and says it’s an AI assistant. Replying STOP ends it for good, and follow-ups wait for daytime. A missed call is consent to answer that call, not to join a marketing list. Messages follow the Spam Act 2003, personal information is handled under the Privacy Act 1988, and customer data is hosted in the United States.

Every figure here is an example, not a promise, so put in your own. For comparison, phone answering services in Australia charge about A$2.45 to A$3.99 a call, and a receptionist costs about A$6,000 a month all in. Missed call revenue calculator →
Missed call text back price
Growth and Pro, from A$499 a month.
Text back needs a phone line. Growth is the first plan with one.
Prices ex GST · Locked in for your first 12 months · Month to month, 30 days’ notice to cancel · No set-up fee on Smart Tools
Not in the monthly price: the one-time set-up fee, charged on signing, and calls (A$0.03 a minute) and texts (A$0.11 sent, A$0.02 received), billed by use. Most businesses spend about A$30 to A$70 a month on those (an estimate). AI plan pricing and conditions →
The first text goes only to a number that has just rung you, and any follow-up waits for daytime. You approve the wording, and you can delay it or exclude numbers.
Yes. Divert unanswered calls to your LeadGenie line, or use the Australian mobile we include. Calls that never reach your account can’t trigger a text. How the phone number works
It’s included on Growth at A$499 a month plus A$1,999 set-up, and on Pro from A$799 a month plus set-up from A$2,499, ex GST. Texts are A$0.11 sent and A$0.02 received. Most businesses spend about A$30 to A$70 a month on calls and texts.
No lock-in: month to month, 30 days’ notice to cancel and no exit fee, with prices locked in for your first 12 months. The set-up fee isn’t refundable, except where the law requires it or for a billing error.
Every text and reply sits in your inbox to check, and we fix the wording at no extra cost. If a reply is outside its brief, it asks you to ring back. It never guesses.
