Rang off too soon? They get a text.

If a caller puts the phone down before anyone could help, they get one short text from your business name inviting them to call back.

  • One text inviting them to call back
  • Sent in your business name
  • UK mobiles only, at most once a week each

Included on all plans.

The text the caller gets

From: Bloom Salon

Sorry we missed your call to Bloom Salon. Call us back on 01632 960018 any time, day or night, and we will take your details. Stop texts: tillyanswers.co.uk/x/k7Rm2xQa

Our wording, for an example business. Yours shows your business name and number, or your own words.

Not every caller waits

Some callers ring off while the phone is still ringing, or as soon as they hear a greeting. Missed-call text back sends each of them one short text from your business name, so they know you noticed and how to reach you.

When the text is sent

  • Your own phone rang first, nobody picked up and they rang off (ringing your phone first is on Pro and Business)
  • They rang off at voicemail without leaving a message
  • They put the phone down while Tilly was greeting them, before saying anything

Callers who leave a message, make a booking or are screened out as a sales call are not texted.

Polite by design

  • UK mobiles only, and at most one text a week to the same caller
  • Never sent to withheld numbers, your own number, numbers you have blocked or callers marked as spam
  • Every text ends with a short stop link, and stopping covers every text from your business
  • Every text sent is listed in your dashboard, and the call notes that she texted them

Your words or ours

Our wording says sorry you missed them and gives your number to call back on. Or write your own, up to 300 characters, with {business} and {number} where your business name and number should go.

Off until you switch it on

Turn it on in your receptionist's call handling settings. It works on every plan.

Questions

Who gets a text?

Callers on a UK mobile who rang off before anyone could help: your phone rang out, they hung up at voicemail, or they put the phone down while she was greeting them. Withheld numbers, your own number, blocked numbers and callers marked as spam are never texted.

Will the same caller get lots of texts?

No. A caller gets at most one missed-call text a week from your business, however many times they ring off.

Can callers stop the texts?

Yes. Every text ends with a short stop link. Using it stops all texts from your business to that number, including any reminders.

Can I change what the text says?

Yes. Write your own wording in your call handling settings, up to 300 characters, or leave it blank to use ours.

Which plans include it?

Every plan. It is off until you switch it on.
