Missed call text back, from your own business number.
When you're on a roof, under a sink or with a customer, you can't always pick up. The missed-call text-back texts every missed caller within a minute from your own business number, so they don't call the next company on the list.

What it does
- Calls can ring your phone first; only calls nobody takes get the text.
- If they text back, the agent asks what they need, where and when, shares your booking link, and hands the conversation to you with a one-line summary.
- Urgent or upset messages come straight to you. Voicemails and photos callers send show up on your page.
- Existing customers get their own short text instead of questions. Landlines are skipped and you're emailed to call back.
- Texts go out 9am to 8pm and always include how to opt out. It runs on a local number we set up for you (no Twilio account needed), or on your own Twilio account if you already have one.

Every email starts as a draft you approve, edit or skip, until you switch the agent to send automatically. Missed-call texts are the exception: the first text is the one you save, and it goes out right away.

Questions
Do I need a new phone number?
You get a local texting number two ways: we set it up for you and file the texting registration US carriers require (it takes a few days), or you use a number in your own Twilio account (you can start its registration before you sign up at agents.lumierepaycheck.org/twilio-first). Either way, you can forward your existing line to it.
What does texting cost?
With a number we set up, it's paid from a prepaid texting balance at Twilio's cost plus a small service fee, typically a few dollars a month, with automatic top-ups. With your own Twilio account, Twilio bills you directly, typically a dollar or two a month for the number plus about a cent per text.
Does it text people who already got through?
No. Only calls nobody answered get the text, and if your phone rings first, your own voicemail never counts as answering.
Can callers send photos?
Yes, up to five per text, shown securely in the conversation on your page.
What does it cost?
$200/month plus $750 setup on its own, or part of all six agents for $500/month. Texting costs are separate (a prepaid texting balance, or billed by Twilio on your own account).
