Missed call text back FAQs
What is missed call text back?
Missed call text back is an automation that sends a text message to any caller you don’t answer, within seconds of the missed call. Instead of hitting voicemail and calling your competitor, the caller gets an immediate text from your business number that keeps the conversation alive.
Why does it matter?
Service businesses miss a large share of inbound calls — industry studies put it between 30% and 60% — and most callers won’t leave a voicemail. Research also shows the majority of customers buy from the first business that responds. A text within seconds makes you first.
How fast does the text go out?
Within seconds of the missed call, automatically. Reply rates on a well-written first text typically run 25–45% across service industries.
Does it work with my existing number?
Yes. You keep your number and carrier, and forward missed calls to your CoServe line. The text-back is sent from your CoServe business number, and you can port or provision a local number in your area code.
What does it cost?
Missed-Call Text-Back is included with every CoServe plan (plans start at $99/mo — everything included) and fires an automatic text on every missed call. Texts draw from your plan’s included allowance, with simple pay-as-you-go credits if you outgrow it.
Can the AI handle the replies too?
Yes — pair it with the CoServe AI Agent and replies can be answered automatically: qualifying the caller, answering questions, and booking the job while it’s still hot.
