Missed-call text back at spareday
Reply to calls you cannot take on the job.
Missed-call text back for electricians sends a short text within a minute to anyone whose call goes unanswered. The caller can describe the job in writing, and you read it when it is safe to stop.
spareday sets up missed-call text back for electricians. You approve the message, choose where replies go and decide how you follow up. Based in Newcastle, spareday works with businesses across Australia.
What’s included
A text that asks about the job and carries your safety line.
Electrical work often means you cannot stop to answer. The text tells the caller you will reply and asks for the details you need to call back prepared.
- Your wording
- A short message in your business’s voice, saying you could not answer and asking about the job.
- Useful questions
- What needs doing, the address or suburb and how soon they need someone.
- Your approved safety line
- If there is smoke, sparking or someone has had a shock, call 000, and turn the power off at the switchboard only if it is safe to do so.
- Replies where you want them
- Replies arrive by text, or in email or job software where that connection is supported.
How it works
Check the calls, then approve the message.
The setup starts with how calls reach you now and who returns them.
- Look at your current calls
- Share roughly how many calls go unanswered and at what times of day. That shows whether a text-back is worth setting up.
- Approve the wording
- Agree what the text says and what it asks for: what needs doing, where and how soon, plus your safety line. Nothing is sent that you have not approved.
- Connect your number
- We check your phone provider first. Where the provider supports it, the text-back runs on the number you already use.
- Test before it starts
- Test calls confirm that the text arrives and that replies reach the right person.
Clear limits
The text holds the enquiry. A person handles the job.
The text does not answer questions, give electrical advice or quote. Anything urgent is covered by the safety line you approve, and every reply comes straight to you. Landline callers cannot receive a text and still need your voicemail.
The phone service and message accounts sit in your business’s name, so the setup keeps working if you stop working with us. Ongoing support is agreed in the quote.
If someone in your business already answers calls reliably, you may not need this, and we will say so. For calls answered by voice, see the AI receptionist for electricians. To help new customers find you, see local SEO for electricians and Google reviews for electricians. The same service for other trades is on builders and tradies.

A few practical details
Before we get started.
Does it answer the phone?
No. It sends a text after a call goes unanswered. A caller who needs to speak with someone straight away still waits for your callback.
Does it work on my existing number?
Usually, yes. We check your phone provider before quoting. It cannot send a text to a caller ringing from a landline.
What if a caller describes something dangerous?
The text carries your approved safety line: call 000 if there is smoke, sparking or someone has had a shock, and turn the power off at the switchboard only if it is safe to do so. Their reply comes straight to you.
Will it quote a job?
No. It asks what they need and where. The price comes from you.
What should I send for a quote?
Roughly how many calls go unanswered, when they arrive, your phone provider and where you want replies to go. We discuss the setup and provide a free quote.
