You're on a job, with a customer, up a ladder. The phone rings out instead of going to voicemail.
Missed-call recovery for trades
The apprentice who replies to the calls you miss.
You're under a sink, up a ladder, or with a customer. The phone rings out. TextApprentice texts the caller back in seconds, and their reply lands straight on your phone.

In an emergency, nobody leaves a voicemail — they call down the list until someone answers. If your text gets there first and they reply, the search stops with you.
