Missed call answering questions

Common questions from tradies

Short answers, and there is more detail on the full FAQ page.

What is a missed call answering service?

It answers the calls you cannot pick up. Your phone still rings first; when a call goes unanswered it forwards to VoiceAU, which speaks with the caller, collects the job details and sends you a summary.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. You keep your business number, and missed-call forwarding only sends calls to VoiceAU when you do not answer.

What details do I receive?

The caller’s name and number, their suburb or address, what the job is, how urgent it is and any preferred time. Bookings are not confirmed for you, so you call the customer back.
