For trades and sole traders
A business phone number built for trades and sole traders
Put a proper UK work number on the van, Google, and directories. Take calls and texts when you can. When you are mid-job, send an automatic text or let AI take the enquiry. From £12.99/mo.
Why this setup works
Stop losing the next job
Callers who get silence dial the next plumber or electrician. A text-back or AI answer keeps them on your list.
Personal mobile stays private
Customers, suppliers, and directories get the work number. Evenings are easier to protect.
Proof when jobs get messy
Pro records calls and keeps transcripts. Useful when a quote, access time, or scope is later disputed.
One recovered job pays for months
Starter, Pro, and AI cover are priced for a one-person or small firm, not a call-centre contract.

Answer when you can
Calls and SMS land in the app. Your personal mobile stays off Checkatrade, Facebook, and leaflets.

- Do I need this if I already use my personal mobile for work?
- If that number is on Google, the van, or a directory, you will keep getting job calls after hours and when you sell the business. A dedicated work number splits that cleanly.
- What happens when I cannot answer on a job?
- On Starter the caller can leave voicemail. On Pro they get an automatic SMS within seconds. On the AI Receptionist plan, a British-voice agent can take details and book a callback or appointment.
- Can I keep the number on my van if I already printed it?
- Yes. Forward the existing line into ANA without porting, and keep using that number on the van and cards.
- Is this only for plumbers and electricians?
- It is written for trades and sole traders because missed calls on site are expensive. Builders, locksmiths, roofers, gardeners, and mobile services use the same setup.
