Every missed emergency call is a job going to the plumber down the road

You're under a house fixing a burst pipe. Or replacing a hot water system. Or snaking a blocked sewer line. Phone rings. You can't answer. Could be a tenant with no hot water ($1,800 replacement). Could be a homeowner with a leaking toilet cistern ($350 repair). Could be a property manager needing gas compliance certificates for 12 rentals ($4,800 contract). They don't leave a voicemail. They call the next plumber. Job's gone. You see "missed call" at 5pm. Too late.

The maths: If you're missing 3–4 calls a week while you're on site, that's $3,000–$6,000 in jobs every month going to a competitor. Not because they're better — because they answered.

Tried a phone answering service before and it went badly?

Most services over-promise and under-deliver. They quote jobs on your behalf. They promise timeframes you can't keep. Your customers hang up confused — or worse, they expect you to show up when you never agreed to.

ReplyMate doesn't do any of that. It takes a name and a number, tells the caller you'll be in touch, and texts you instantly. It never quotes a price. It never books a job. It never promises a time. You stay in control.

And before it talks to a single customer — you test it yourself and read exactly what it says.

How it works

1

Set up call forwarding on your mobile

It's one setting on your phone — the same as forwarding calls to any other number. When you can't answer, calls go to ReplyMate instead of voicemail. Nothing to install. No app to download.

2

ReplyMate answers and takes the details

Your caller hears a professional greeting in a natural voice. It asks their name, what the job is, how urgent it is, and their address. It tells them you'll call back shortly.

3

You get a text with everything you need

Within seconds you get an SMS: caller name, number, job type, urgency, and address. A fuller summary lands in your email. The complete transcript is always available online.

4

You call back when you're ready

You know exactly what they need before you dial. No more 'sorry, who called?' — you call back informed, professional, and first in line for the job.

You stay in control

ReplyMate doesn't go live until you're happy with it. You set it up, test it yourself, and know exactly what it says to every caller.

📞

Test it yourself first

Call your own ReplyMate number as many times as you want. Adjust the wording until it sounds like your business. Your customers don't hear a thing until you say go.

📋

Read every word it says

After every call, you get an SMS with the key details and a full summary by email. The complete word-for-word transcript is available online. You always know exactly what was said to your customers.

🤝

It doesn't make promises you can't keep

ReplyMate takes a name, number, and what they need. That's it. It tells the caller you'll be in touch — it never promises a time, quotes a price, or books you in for a job you can't get to.

Why I built this

"

I'm Tom. I built ReplyMate because I was losing calls I didn't know I was losing. I set it up for my own business first. I didn't trust it either — so I called my own number over and over, tweaking the script until it sounded right. Then I turned it on. Within the first week, I picked up jobs that would've gone to voicemail. I could see exactly what the receptionist said to each caller, word for word. No surprises. No weird robotic responses. Just a professional greeting and the customer's details waiting in my texts. I've been using it daily ever since. Now I want to see if it works for others too.
