A missed call isn’t a small thing.
You’re up a ladder, under a sink or stuck on the A23. The phone goes, you can’t get to it, and by the time you ring back they’ve booked someone else. Most never leave a message to say they tried.

What happens when you can’t pick up
It works on the phone in your pocket and only steps in when a call goes unanswered.
01
The call rings out
Your phone rings first, same as now. Answer it and nothing else happens. Leave it and your network hands the call to Third Ring.
02
A text goes back in nine seconds
In your business name, ending in a question, so they’ve got something to reply to.
03
The job lands on your phone
Name, number, what they want and the postcode, in one message. You ring back already knowing if it’s worth the drive.
What you get out of it.
You already pay for the phone to ring: the van signwriting, the website, the Google listing. This makes sure those calls turn into work.
Win the jobs you were losing
More of your calls become work37 in every 100 callers try someone else inside a minute. A reply in seconds keeps them talking to you, not the next name on the list.
Stay on the tools
No climbing down to answerFinish the joint, the wiring, the ridge tile. The enquiry waits for you in writing, and you ring back when it suits you.
Ring back knowing the job
What, where and when, before you dialThe problem and the postcode arrive together, so you can skip the time-wasters and price the good ones before you get there.
Look like a proper firm
An answer in your name, every timeAn instant, polite reply at 7am or 9pm, the way a company with an office would. Nobody gets a voicemail beep.
Get your evenings back
No more ringing round at nightCalls that come in while you’re eating get a text, not you. The details are waiting in the morning.
More five-star reviews
Asked for at the right momentThe morning after a job, a polite text asks for a Google review, so good work shows up when the next person searches.
Rough maths: miss eight calls a week on £250 jobs and around £962 a month walks to someone else. Third Ring is £79.
Put in your own numbersWhen a text isn’t enough, it picks up and talks.
Some callers won’t text back. An emergency, an older customer, somebody driving. The voice assistant picks up the call you couldn’t, tells them it’s an assistant, and books the job. Anything urgent rings straight through to you.
It says it’s an assistant
No pretending to be your secretary. Anyone who’d rather wait for you can leave their details instead.
Booked near your other jobs
It checks where you’re already working that day, so you’re not crossing town twice for one job.
No app. No new number. No contract.
It runs on the phone you already carry, and stopping it takes one text.
Keep your number
Customers ring the number they always have. Third Ring sits behind it and only steps in when you don’t answer.
Texts in your name
Every message goes out in your business name, so as far as the caller knows, they’re dealing with you.
A count every Monday
A short text with what was caught the week before, so you can see what it’s earning you.
Review requests
The morning after a job, a polite text asking for a Google review. Only if you switch it on.
If it catches one job a month, it’s paid for itself three times over.
Most trades miss more than one call a week. It only has to catch one of them.
