For plumbers, HVAC, electricians & roofers

The calls you can't
answer, answered.

You're under a sink. The phone rings out. That caller dials the next guy on Google. Holdless texts them back before they get there, finds out what they need, and puts a finished lead on your phone.

What an unanswered phone costs

Every missed call is a job
someone else is doing.

Nobody leaves a voicemail any more. They hang up and call the next result. The work doesn't disappear — it just goes to a competitor.

How it works

STEP 01

Your line forwards on no answer

We set your phone to hand off unanswered calls after five rings. If your team picks up, we're never involved. Your number, listings and Google profile don't change.

STEP 02

The caller gets a text in seconds

It comes from your shop, in your shop's name. It asks what's wrong, gets the address, works out how urgent it is, and tells them to shut a valve if water is running.

STEP 03

You get a finished lead

Name, callback number, address, the problem, urgency, and anything the tech needs to know — one text on your phone. On emergencies, we ring you too.

What lands on your phone

Not a notification.
A job you can send someone to.

No dashboard to check, no app to open. If you can read a text message, you can use Holdless. Everything's also on a web page when you want to look back.

Questions we get

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. You keep the number that's on your truck, your business cards and your Google listing. We only set it to forward calls nobody picks up.

What if my office does answer?

Then nothing happens. Holdless only sees the calls that ring out or come in while you're on another line.

Is a robot going to talk to my customers?

It's text, not a voice robot, and it's written to sound like whoever normally answers your phone. It never quotes a price, never promises a time slot, and hands off to you as soon as it has what a dispatcher needs.

Does it book appointments?

Not to begin with, and that's on purpose. For the first month your dispatcher calls back and sets the time. Once you've seen how the leads come through, we can connect your calendar or your job software.

What about emergencies?

Flooding, a gas smell, no heat in freezing weather — the assistant gives the caller the safety step first, flags it, and rings your phone instead of waiting for the rest of the details.

What do I have to install or learn?

Nothing. Setup is one change on your phone line, which we walk you through. After that you get text messages.

Can I stop?

Month to month. Turn off the forwarding and you're back where you started, same day.

Ten minutes, no deck

Let's test your phone.

Book a call and we'll ring your line while we're talking. If someone picks up, we'll tell you honestly that you don't need this.
