01Sound familiar?
The calls you never knew you lost.
- You’re in an attic or under a house. Four rings, voicemail. They don’t leave one. They call the next name.
- Your Google listing says Open 24 hours. Your phone doesn’t.
- Saturday night, their breaker will not stay on, and by Monday morning it’s somebody else’s job.
- You have no idea how many of these you lose. Nothing counts them.

02What you get
One text with everything you need to call them back.
- A text within a minute of the call: name, callback number, address, what’s wrong, in their words.
- You keep answering everything you can. This only picks up what you miss.
- Every call answered in your company’s name, in English or Spanish.
- Smoke, sparks or a gas smell and the caller is told to hang up and dial 911. Nothing else gets advice.
- No app, no dashboard, no login. One code on your phone turns it on. One turns it off.

Hear it before you believe it
Call it and tell it your
breaker keeps tripping.
It answers as Vista Electric, a company that doesn’t exist, so say anything you like to it.
03What it costs
One job a month pays for it.
flat, nothing metered
An answering service bills by the minute, so a busy August costs double a dead February. This costs the same.

- TermMonth to month. Cancel by email.
- RefundFirst thirty days, email me and I refund it.
- SetupOne code on your phone. Fifteen minutes with me on the line if you want the help.
Not sure it is worth it?See what the missed calls are costing you.Three taps. Your numbers, not mine.Do the math
What are the missed ones costing you?
Three taps. It runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
That is 9.7 times what the line costs. Catching one of those calls a month pays for it and the rest is yours.
Your figures, not mine, and an estimate rather than a promise. Nobody catches all of it. Nothing you tap here is sent anywhere, including to me.
How the call reaches me
You dial one code on your own phone, once. It tells your carrier where a call goes when you don’t pick up. Nothing of mine sits between your customer and your phone.
The code for your carrier, and the one that undoes it
Verizon
Verizon covers no-answer and busy together and does not let you route them separately. Dial it, wait for the confirmation tone, hang up.

The 20 at the end is how many seconds your phone rings before it rolls over. Any of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 works. Add **67*{n}# to cover calls that come in while you are already on one.
GSM standard code, widely documented. I confirm yours before you pay.T-Mobile
Same code and the same ring timer as AT&T. Add **67*{n}# for calls that arrive while you are on another one.
GSM standard code, widely documented. I confirm yours before you pay.The way out, before the way in. This puts your phone back exactly as it was.
##004#Clears every conditional forward on the line at once and puts your phone back exactly the way it was. Works on AT&T, T-Mobile and any other GSM carrier. On Verizon it is *73.
If your business line runs through RingCentral, Ooma, Google Voice, a desk phone system or anything else that is not a normal cell plan, none of these codes apply. Those are set in a web portal instead, and the setting is usually called something like ring group overflow or no-answer forwarding. Tell me which one you use and I will find it with you.
04What it won’t do
Three things it will never do in your name.
- Quote a price or book a time.It takes the call and hands you the details.
- Tell your customer to touch their system.Not a breaker, not a valve. It answers in your licensed name and gives no advice in it.
- Hide that it’s automated.First sentence of every call, along with the fact that the call is recorded. California requires it.
