She hired the one that picked up. RafterBell picks up — every night, every weekend, every time your techs are already out. It answers in your company's name, takes her name, the address and what's happening, and has her message playing on your on-call phone within a minute.

There is no app to check and no dashboard to babysit. If you never log in again after the first day, it keeps working.
Every missed call is picked up on the first ring with your company name, not a dead voicemail box. It tells the caller everyone is on a job and asks for exactly three things: their name, the address, and what's happening. It never quotes a price and never promises a time.
A caller calls at 2 a.m. and you don't pick up — you're asleep, or already on a job. The call rolls to RafterBell, which answers immediately and records up to two minutes of message, so they leave the details instead of hanging up and dialing the next company.
Within a minute of the caller hanging up, your on-call phone rings. RafterBell says it's a new after-hours lead for your company, plays the message, and reads the callback number twice. The same recording and number land in your email. You call back a caller who already heard help was coming, instead of finding a voicemail at 7 a.m. from someone who hired a competitor at 2.
This is the whole script. No mystery, no black box — the company name is yours, the rest is word for word what every caller hears, every time.
Optional add-on — caller text-back, $50/mo. We text the caller within seconds so they know help is coming, and most of them reply with more detail. Phone carriers require us to register your business first, so we'll need your legal business name, EIN, address, website and a contact name — about two minutes of your time. Carrier approval takes 5–10 business days and you are not billed for it until it is approved and working. Your call answering runs from night one either way.
It doesn't answer questions and it never guesses. It takes the message and gets you on the phone with them inside a minute. A wrong answer about your pricing or your availability costs you a customer; “someone will call you back shortly” doesn't.
Keep it. Run both for 30 days and compare what each one actually delivered to your phone. If theirs wins, cancel us. Most people find they're paying several hundred a month for a call center that takes a message and nothing else.
You dial one forwarding code from your business phone — about two minutes. We email you the exact code for your carrier as soon as you sign up. Only calls you don't answer forward to us; the ones you pick up never leave your phone, and you can switch it off any time with another code. Nothing is installed, and your website is not touched.
Every after-hours call is treated as urgent: your phone rings within a minute of the caller hanging up, with the message and the callback number. You hear the caller's own words and decide whether to roll a truck now or call back at 7. It's a dispatcher, not a gatekeeper.
Month to month, cancel from the same link you signed up with, no phone call required. Turn the forwarding off with one code and your line is exactly as it was. Your leads are yours — they've been going to your phone the whole time.
Every night you don't have it, somebody is listening to your phone ring at 2 a.m. deciding whether to keep waiting or dial the next company. That's the whole pitch.
