Text2Book vs. a phone answering service
An answering service puts a person on the phone for every call. Text2Book texts back the calls you miss and books them — for a fraction of the cost.
Answering services charge per call or per minute and still just take a message. Text2Book only steps in on the calls you miss, texts the caller back in seconds, gathers the job details, and hands you a booking to approve — with a flat monthly price and no per-call fees.

FAQ

Answering services bill per call or minute; Text2Book is a flat monthly price, so a busy month doesn't mean a surprise bill.
