An answering service handles the calls your business cannot pick up. Quickwire is a modern answering service for small business that works by missed-call text-back: the instant a call goes unanswered, it texts the caller in your voice, works out what they need, and books the appointment, so you catch the customer instead of a message you return too late.
Missed-call text-back is exactly what it sounds like: when a call to your business goes unanswered, the caller automatically receives a text within seconds. Instead of a voicemail nobody checks until tomorrow, the caller gets an immediate reply, in your business’s voice, that keeps the conversation alive and moves it toward a booking.
It matters because speed decides who wins the job. The customer calling around does not wait for a callback; they take the first business that responds. Missed-call text-back makes that first business you, automatically, every time.
A traditional answering service sends your calls to a human call center that reads a script, takes a message, and bills you per call or per minute. Quickwire replaces the message-taking with instant action: it responds in seconds, qualifies the caller, books the appointment on your calendar, and only involves a person when the matter is genuinely urgent or complex.
You keep your existing business number, the caller only ever sees texts coming from you, and every message is TCPA-compliant with an easy opt-out because Quickwire only texts people who called you first.
After hours, mid-job, or already on another line, the call would normally go to voicemail.
The caller instantly gets a text from your number, in your voice, asking how you can help.
Quickwire qualifies the caller, books the appointment, and notifies you, before they call the next business.
Quickwire works as an answering service for small, appointment-based businesses across dozens of trades. A few examples:
Missed-call text-back automatically sends a text to any caller whose call to your business goes unanswered. Quickwire sends that text within seconds, in your business’s voice, so instead of a voicemail nobody checks, the caller gets an immediate reply that keeps the conversation going and moves toward a booked appointment.
A normal answering service is a human call center that takes a message and charges per call or per minute. Quickwire responds instantly by text, qualifies the caller, and books the appointment on your calendar for a flat monthly cost, handing off to you only on urgent or complex matters.
No. Quickwire works with your existing business number, and customers only ever see texts coming from you. Nothing about your published number changes.
Yes, when done correctly. Quickwire only texts people who called your business first, and every message includes an easy opt-out, which keeps it TCPA-compliant. You can read along in every conversation and jump in at any time.
Quickwire starts at $350 per month plus a one-time setup fee, billed as a flat plan rather than per call or per minute. The tiers and what each includes are on the Quickwire pricing section.
