The call you could not take, caught.
You are on a ladder with a grinder running. The homeowner who just called is already dialling the next contractor. The receptionist is built to reply, find out what the job is and hold them until you can call back.
$129 a month. You put a card on file when you sign up for setup, and the monthly charge starts the day we turn your line on.

How it works, once it is set up.
The call you did not take
It sits behind the number you already give out. Once texting is enabled for your business number, an eligible missed call can trigger a text asking what the caller needs.
Keep them talking
It asks what the job is, where it is, and roughly when. It gives the range you set and says the firm number comes from you.
You pick it up
You get the caller's details by the route agreed at setup. Call back when you are off the job.
What is ready, and what is not.
We would rather you read this here than find it out after you pay.
Set up by hand
The receptionist is set up with each business on its own line, with your hours, your service area and the price ranges you quote. Setup is subject to availability, and it is not a switch you flip in the app. Ask us to confirm for your business.
Texting is separate
Texting is enabled separately, only after carrier registration is approved and texting setup is completed for your business number. We help with that, but we do not guarantee approval or a date. Voice billing begins the day your line is turned on, even if texting is not on yet.
In the app
The receptionist screen in the JobBring app is still marked coming soon while its text replies move onto our own system. Smart Estimate and the visualizer are live there today.
Text now, voice later
The receptionist replies by text. It does not phone callers back yet; an automatic voice call-back is in development, and we will say so here the day it is live.
When billing starts
There is no free trial. You put a card on file when you sign up for setup. The monthly charge starts the day we turn your line on, and we email you that day with the start date and next renewal date. Before then, you can cancel setup and owe nothing for the monthly plan. Email [email protected] and we will tell you where setup stands for your business.
What is included
- Missed-call text-back, once texting is enabled for your number
- Unlimited AI text replies, once texting is enabled
- 300 voice minutes in each Receptionist billing period, then 25 cents a minute
- Your hours, your service area, your words

What it will not do
- Record call audio. Not ever.
- Pretend to be a person. The voice greeting identifies it as automated; the text assistant is instructed to identify itself as AI if asked.
- Send marketing blasts. It only replies to people who contacted you.
- Quote a firm price. That stays your call.
Texting rules and how to stop are in the SMS Terms.
Agree how you receive enquiries.
During setup, we confirm how you will receive caller details and any available transcript. Receptionist enquiries are not currently synced into the JobBring app's leads list.
Questions
What happens on a missed call?
Once texting is enabled for your business number, an eligible missed call may trigger one text identifying your business and asking what the caller needs. Delivery is not guaranteed. If they reply, the conversation continues. The first text identifies your business and explains how to opt out, and they can reply STOP at any time.
Is the call recorded?
No. Call audio is never recorded. Florida is a two-party consent state and we do not want that problem, or yours. Transcripts are kept for a short period so you can read what was said.
Does it say it is a machine?
The voice greeting identifies it as automated; the text assistant is instructed to identify itself as AI if asked. It is there to catch the call, not to pretend to be you.
What is included in the price?
300 voice minutes in each Receptionist billing period, including the first; our own setup and test calls before your line is turned on do not count. Minutes past that are 25 cents each. Unlimited AI text replies once texting is enabled for your number.
Can it quote a price?
The assistant is instructed to use the price ranges you provide and to explain that the firm quote comes from you. AI replies can contain mistakes, so confirm the price with the customer.
Do I need to change my phone number?
No. It sits behind the number you already give out.
