Automatic SMS reply for tradespeople

When you are under the sink, MissCall answers for you. Same as for cosmeticians in treatment, realtors at viewings, photographers at weddings.

The specific problem of trades

A tradesperson has the phone in their work pants pocket. Wet, dirty, often out of earshot. Rings — you can’t react. Customer hangs up, finds competition on Google. You never know.

With MissCall the customer knows you’ll call back.

For whom in trades

• Plumber, heating engineer, water — fixed callouts
• Electrician — slightly better but same problem
• Carpenter, joiner — machines, noise, wet hands
• Bricklayer, plasterer — outdoors, long hours
• Painter — painting + wet hands
• Electronics / IT repair — at customer site
• Auto repair, tire service — dozens of calls daily
• Refrigeration, AC, HVAC — seasonal peaks

Templates for typical situations

Plumber: "Thank you for calling. I’m on a job, will call back in the evening. For emergency leaks (water, gas): call 112."

Auto repair: "Good morning, I’m in the workshop. Will call back within 2 hours. To book, send SMS with car make and problem description."
