For Electricians & Electrical Contractors

Never lose an electrical job to a missed call again

Q: Is this an answering service for electricians?

Not quite — it’s the modern, far cheaper alternative. Instead of a call centre answering live (and charging per call), Call2SMS instantly texts every missed caller back, has a short conversation to capture the job, and sends it to you. You get the same “someone responded” result without the monthly answering-service bill or being tied into a contract.

Q: Does it handle emergency electrical call-outs?

Yes. Call2SMS runs 24/7, so a “no power” call at 9pm still gets an instant text-back. The AI asks whether the power is out right now and flags urgent jobs in your lead summary, so you can decide on the spot whether it’s worth heading out.

Q: Can it capture details like EICR or fuse board jobs?

Yes. You set the questions during setup, so the AI can ask the things that matter for electrical work — job type, property type, whether it’s a landlord certificate, and location. You get a quote-ready lead instead of just a missed number.

Q: Do I need to change my number?

No. Keep your existing mobile and set up conditional call forwarding (“divert on no answer”) so only unanswered calls reach Call2SMS. We walk you through it — or we can give you a fresh UK number instead.

Q: How much does it cost?

Plans start at £37/month with no contract. One recovered call-out usually covers the month several times over. There’s a free trial so you can see real recovered leads from your own missed calls before you pay.

When you’re up a ladder, in a loft or mid fault-find, you can’t grab the phone. Call2SMS texts every missed caller back within seconds, finds out the job and the address, and drops a ready-to-quote lead on your phone.

The problem

Every missed call is a job walking away

Electrical work means your hands are full and your phone is in your pocket. A homeowner with a tripping consumer unit, a landlord chasing an EICR, or a builder lining up first-fix work rings — and if you can’t pick up, they don’t leave a voicemail. They scroll straight to the next electrician on Google.

Call2SMS closes that gap. The instant a call rings out, the caller gets a friendly text in your business name. The AI asks what the job is, whether it’s urgent, and where they are — then sends you the full lead so you can quote when you climb down, not lose it for good.

The smarter option

The modern alternative to a electrician answering service

A traditional answering service puts a call centre between you and your customers, charges per call or per minute, and ties you into a contract — and they still can’t book the job for you.

Call2SMS does the job that matters: it makes sure no missed caller is ignored. Every unanswered call gets an instant, on-brand text, a real two-way SMS conversation captures the enquiry, and the lead lands on your phone — 24/7, for a fixed low monthly price, with no contract. See why it’s the smarter answering service alternative, or compare every option on our cost comparison page.
