When you can't pick up, your caller gets a text.

If you're on a roof or under a sink and miss a call, we send the caller a text from your business within seconds. They reply, and you see it on your phone. Fewer people move on to the next company on the list.

About me

Hi, I'm Hyrum Stanger. I live in Idaho with my wife and kids.

I started TextBack Trades because contractors lose jobs when they can't answer the phone. You can't take a call from the top of a ladder or with your hands in a drain. Most people who reach voicemail don't leave a message. They call someone else.

A quick text back keeps that conversation going until you're free. That's all this does, and I set it up for you.

How it works

1. You miss a call

Your phone forwards calls you don't answer to your TextBack line.

2. They get a text

The caller gets a short text from your business name asking what they need.

3. You see the reply

Their answer comes to your phone or email. No new app.

4. Quotes get a reminder

If you want, people with open quotes get a polite text a few days later.

Rough math

Put in your own numbers. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Work you may be missing each month:
Missed calls x 4.3 weeks x win rate x job size. An estimate, not a promise.

Common questions

Do I need a new number?

No. Your current number forwards unanswered calls to your TextBack line.

Is this spam?

No. We only text people who just called you, every text allows STOP, and texting is registered with the carriers.

What do I have to do?

Fill out a short form and turn on call forwarding for unanswered calls. I handle the rest.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time.
