Missed call text back for electricians
Missed call text back for electricians.
TextApprentice is a Canadian missed-call textback service for trades businesses. When a customer calls and gets no answer, TextApprentice automatically texts them back within seconds, and their reply goes straight to the business owner's phone.
It costs $50 per month plus $5 per recovered call, with no base fee for the first 30 days. No reply, no charge.
If you are a electricians contractor, your best work happens where you cannot reach your phone. TextApprentice is the apprentice who replies to the calls you miss: it texts the caller back automatically, collects their reply, and hands you the details so you can call back the right jobs first.
No monthly fee for 30 days

Nobody with a dead panel wants voicemail.
You are at the panel with the power off and a tester in your hand when the next call comes in. It is not a call you can take, and it is not a caller who will wait.
Electrical work carries urgency. No lights, no heat, a sparking outlet, a breaker that keeps tripping. The caller needs to know someone heard them, right now.
TextApprentice bridges that gap. The missed caller gets a text within seconds, while you finish the job safely. Their reply, with the address and the problem, is waiting on your phone when you look down.

Questions
Asked all the time.
Will this work with my current business number?
Yes. Your advertised number never changes. Only unanswered calls route to TextApprentice.
What does the caller receive?
A short text in your business name, seconds after the missed call, asking what they need help with.
Can it tell urgent jobs from routine ones?
The caller's reply tells you in their own words. A sparking outlet reads very differently from a dimmer switch quote, so you can prioritize before you call back.
What if I answer the call myself?
Nothing happens. TextApprentice only acts when a call goes unanswered.
How long does setup take?
About ten minutes. Forwarding takes a few taps on your phone, and you can turn it off just as fast.
Never leave a no-power caller hanging.
TextApprentice replies to the calls you miss, so the urgent jobs reach you first.
