Answering Service UK FAQ
How is ReplyTown different from Moneypenny or JAM?
Those services put a human between you and the caller and charge per call. ReplyTown texts the caller back the instant a call is missed, so nobody waits on hold, and you pay a flat monthly rate instead of per call.
Does ReplyTown handle SMS for web leads too?
Yes. Web lead forms, missed calls, and after-hours enquiries all flow into the same intake exchange, so every lead is qualified and booked the same way.
Is my existing phone number kept?
Yes. You keep your current number and customers never learn a new one. ReplyTown catches the calls you miss.
Can I try it before committing?
Yes. ReplyTown is free to try, so you can see how many missed calls become booked jobs before you pay a penny.
