Missed call text back

Stop losing customers when you cannot answer the phone.

Transovo turns unanswered calls into compliant SMS — with templates you control, team alerts, and a clear handoff when a human needs to step in.

Send recovery texts from our platform toll-free — no own texting number, no waiting on your A2P approval to try it. Free plan included. Keep your existing line for calls.

$0 to start · Platform 1-800 sender · Team email & SMS alerts · Press-1 or existing permission

Why businesses switch

Missed-call texting that actually ships — not a six-week carrier project.

Others charge before you see a single recovery, or make you wait weeks on A2P just to test. Transovo lets you run on our toll-free sender, alert your team, and upgrade once — when volume — not vendor paperwork — says so.

Text back from our 1-800 today

Use the Transovo platform toll-free as your text-back sender — already registered on our side. You do not need your own texting number or your own A2P brand campaign to start sending recovery SMS.

Keep the number customers call

Forward unanswered calls from your existing business line. When you answer, nothing changes — we only step in on the miss.

Free plan — not a bait-and-switch

Most missed-call texting tools start at painful monthly fees. Transovo includes real recoveries on the free plan. When you outgrow it, one straightforward paid plan — not a menu of add-ons.

Press-1 or existing permission

Choose caller Press-1 opt-in or existing permission attestation — both supported from day one on the platform sender.

Email alerts on Free · SMS on Pro

Free plan emails your team on missed calls, replies, and voicemail. Pro adds SMS alerts so the right person knows immediately.

Your templates, not a runaway bot

Recovery messages you write, plus one automatic acknowledgment. Then your people call back, reply, or mark handled.

The cost of a missed call

You cannot answer every ring. You can still win the lead.

On a job, with another customer, or after hours — callers rarely leave voicemail. They will text back if you give them a fast, compliant path.

Voicemail is a dead end

Most people hang up. A text invitation while they still care beats playing phone tag tomorrow.

Competitors answer faster

The first business to respond often gets the job — even if you were busier doing the work.

Your team stays in control

Automatic recovery and one ack — then a real person calls back or marks handled.

From missed call to follow-up in seconds.

Forward when you do not answer. Transovo handles consent, sends your recovery sequence, and puts the thread where your team already works.

01

They call your line

Same number on your truck, website, and Google — you answer when you can.

02

No answer → Transovo

Carrier forwarding sends the unanswered call to Transovo ingress — not a new public number.

03

Permission to text

Press-1: disclosure + keypress. Existing permission: voicemail + recovery per your attestation.

04

Recover & notify

Recovery texts from the platform sender (or your verified sender later), team alerted, status tracked.

Platform sender vs your own

Call your number. We can text from ours.

Your business lineis still what customers dial — forward when you do not answer. Recovery SMS can come from Transovo's platform toll-free (already on our A2P) so you are not buying a second line or filing brand registration just to send your first text back.

Want texts to show your local number instead? Add your own sender later — that path uses standard A2P/10DLC registration and approval timelines. Many businesses stay on the platform sender.

Your playbook

Templates you control. Handoffs your team owns.

Configure on-a-job, after-hours, and first-touch recovery messages. One automatic ack, then your crew replies, calls back, or marks the lead handled.

  • Editable recovery openers (Press-1 compliance copy stays locked)
  • Missed-call list with needs follow-up / handled
  • Clear analytics — suppressed is not the same as failed

Compliance

Consent that matches how you actually operate.

Recorded, auditable permission — aligned with carrier rules, not checkbox theater.

After hours

Closed for the day. Still capture the intent.

Night and weekend callers get your voicemail plus a recovery path when configured — so Monday starts with names and needs, not mystery hang-ups.

After-hours recovery

We're closed — reply with your name and what you need; we'll respond when we open.

Never miss the miss

Your phone was busy — your team still gets the alert.

Route business notifications by email and text when a recovery matters: a fresh missed call, a customer reply, or a thread that still needs follow-up — so the lead is not sitting silent in the inbox until tomorrow.

A recovery counts when the first automated recovery SMS is accepted for sending — not when the call is missed. Voicemail and call records continue after you hit your text-back limit.

Frequently asked questions

No. Customers keep calling the number they already know. You set up unanswered-call forwarding to Transovo — you do not replace your line.

Only if you want recovery texts to come from your own local or toll-free sending number. On the Transovo platform sender (our pre-verified toll-free), we send on our registration — you can start and stay on that path on the free plan without filing your own A2P campaign. If you later add your own number as the text-back sender, carrier brand registration and approval apply — same as anywhere else.

No. Recovery SMS can send from the Transovo platform toll-free while you keep your existing line for incoming calls only. Adding your own texting number is optional when you want texts to show your local caller ID.

Nothing changes. You answer and handle the call normally. Transovo only runs when the call is not answered and forwarding applies.

Choose Press-1 (caller hears a disclosure and presses 1 to opt in) or existing permission (you confirm you already have permission to text those callers). With Press-1, a compliance confirmation text is sent before your recovery message.

With Press-1, only if they press 1. With existing permission, recovery follows your configuration when a call qualifies as missed. Opt-outs and exclusions are always honored.

No. You configure recovery templates and an optional one-time automatic reply. After that, your team continues the conversation or marks the lead handled.

Yes. Paste your link in a reply from the missed-call conversation — same as you would from any business texting workflow.

25 missed-call text-backs per month on the platform toll-free sender, Press-1 or existing consent, essential recovery workflow, and email notifications to your team — no credit card to start.

Pro is $19.99/month for 300 text-backs, all recovery strategies, email plus SMS team alerts, booking links, and detailed analytics. You can stay on the platform sender or add customer-owned A2P messaging separately.

After-hours callers can still reach your voicemail flow and, when configured, receive a recovery text so your team has context when you reopen.

The next call you miss does not have to be the next customer you lose.

Start free with missed call text back — platform sender included, your business line unchanged.
