What is a missed call SMS template?

A missed call SMS template is a pre-written text message that gets sent automatically to anyone who calls your business and doesn't get an answer. Instead of the customer hearing voicemail or silence, they immediately receive a professional SMS acknowledging their call and asking what they need. For tradies, this is one of the most effective ways to capture leads that would otherwise call a competitor.

What should a missed call SMS say?

The best missed call SMS messages are short, professional, and include your business name so the customer knows who they're hearing from. They should acknowledge the missed call, explain you'll call back, and ideally ask what job they need done so you have context when you follow up. Keep it under 160 characters if possible — it sends as a single SMS and gets higher reply rates.
