In the middle of a job

How it works
What is missed call text back?
Missed call text back sends a short, friendly text to anyone whose call you miss, in about a minute. They can reply right away, and the whole conversation lands in one inbox on your phone, so you pick it up the moment you’re free. You keep the number your customers already know.
-
Step 1
Someone calls and you can’t pick up
You’re with a customer, on a job, or it’s after hours. You don’t have to do anything.
-
Step 2
About a minute later, they get a text
“Hey, sorry we missed your call. We’re probably with a customer right now. Let us know what you’re calling about and we’ll figure out how to help.” In your words, from your business.
-
Step 3
They tell you what they need
They answer by text while they’re still thinking about it, instead of guessing whether to leave a voicemail.
-
Step 4
It’s waiting for you
The call and the whole conversation sit in your lead inbox. When you call back, you already know what the job is.
What's included
Set up, tested and looked after
Everything here comes with every build. We do all of the setup.
Included. The only cost is your number.
The one thing you pay for is the texting number itself, because it’s yours. That’s the phone company’s fees, charged to your own card with no markup from us: usually a few dollars a month, plus about a penny a text. The full breakdown is in the questions below.
-
A text in about a minute.
Every missed call gets a friendly reply from your business.
-
Nights and weekends too.
It works when you’re off the clock.
-
Your words.
We write the message with you so it sounds like your business, not a robot.
-
Keep your number.
The number on your truck and your cards stays. Calls you miss forward to a new local texting line we set up. No business number yet? The new one becomes it.
-
Registered so it gets delivered.
Phone carriers now require businesses to register before texting customers. We handle all of it for you.
-
One inbox on your phone.
The missed call, their reply and your answer, all in one app, alongside your website forms.
-
Tested before launch.
We call your number ourselves and make sure the text arrives.
The honest comparison
Voicemail, a texting app, or us
An honest look at the other ways to handle a call you miss.
| Voicemail | A do-it-yourself texting app | CreoHaus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reaches the caller after a missed call | Only if they leave a message (42% do) | Yes, once you set it up | Yes, in about a minute |
| Who sets it up | Nothing to set up | You: the app, the message, the carrier registration | We do, and we test it |
| Where replies go | Your voicemail box | One more app to check | One inbox with your forms and review requests |
| Sounds like you | Your greeting | A template, unless you write your own | Written with you |
| If something stops working | Nothing to fix | You troubleshoot it | We fix it |
What it doesn’t do: it doesn’t answer the phone for you, and it isn’t a robot pretending to be you. It sends one friendly text, and every reply comes to you.
Straight answers
Questions about Missed Call Text Back
Straight answers, including what it costs you and what happens if we part ways.
Something like: “Hey, sorry we missed your call. We’re probably with a customer right now. Let us know what you’re calling about and we’ll figure out how to help.” Only people whose call you miss get it. We write yours with you, and you can change it any time.
No. Keep the number your customers already know. We set up a new local texting line, and the calls you don’t answer forward to it. That line sends the text and holds the conversation.
No business number yet? The new line becomes your business number.
No. It’s included in every build, and we do all the setup. The only cost is the texting number itself, which is yours.
These are the phone company’s own fees, charged to your card with no markup from us (HighLevel’s published rates, September 2026):
- One time: $22.50 to register your business for texting, a rule every U.S. carrier now requires.
- Monthly: $1.15 for the number, plus a registration fee of $1.50 to $10 depending on how much you text.
- As you use it: about a penny per text sent or received, and about a penny per minute for calls that reach the line.
For most small businesses that’s a few dollars a month.
Landlines can’t get texts, so no text goes out. The missed call still shows up in your inbox, so you know to call back.
No. It sends one text you approved. Every reply comes to you, and you answer it yourself.
They can reply STOP, and they won’t get another text from your business.
Your main number never moved, so nothing changes for the people who call you. We turn off the forwarding and the automatic text.
The texting line is yours. If you want to keep it, we move it to any phone company you choose before we close anything, at no charge from us. Your contact list comes with you too.
Let’s make sure every caller hears back.
Tell me a little about your business, then pick a time and I'll call you. A free 15-minute conversation about what would help it grow. No pitch, no pressure.
