Businesses that never miss a call
Don't just take our word for it.
Robert Tanner, Owner, Tanner HVAC, Phoenix, AZ: "We were losing emergency calls every night. Last month NextPhone caught 3-4 extra emergency jobs a week — that’s $2,000+ we were leaving on the table."
Angela Brooks, Director of Operations, Oakwood Property Management, Charlotte, NC: "Tenant emergencies don’t wait until morning. NextPhone handles the midnight calls, dispatches our maintenance crew, and I get a full summary before my first coffee."
Tony Vasquez, Owner, Metro Lock & Key, Houston, TX: "We’re a 24-hour locksmith. Before NextPhone, calls after 10pm went to voicemail and we’d lose them to competitors. Now every late-night lockout gets answered and dispatched. We picked up 6 extra jobs last week just from overnight calls."
FAQ
Does NextPhone know when my business is open or closed?
Yes. Set your business hours in the dashboard and NextPhone automatically adjusts its greeting and behavior. Different scripts for open hours, after hours, weekends, and holidays.
How does emergency routing work?
You define emergency keywords and criteria (e.g., "water leak," "no heat," "locked out"). When NextPhone detects an emergency, it immediately routes to your on-call number — no delay.
Is there an extra charge for after-hours coverage?
No. NextPhone is flat-rate. A call at 2am costs the same as a call at 2pm. No per-minute charges, no after-hours premiums.
What does the morning summary include?
Every call: caller name, time, what they needed, how it was resolved, any details captured, and whether anything needs your follow-up. Delivered via email or Slack before your day starts.
Can it still book appointments after hours?
Yes. It has access to your calendar 24/7. A caller at midnight gets booked into the next open slot and receives a text confirmation. You see it when you check your calendar in the morning.
What about overflow during business hours?
Yes. NextPhone catches calls when your line is busy or you don't pick up within a set number of rings. You configure the trigger — e.g., answer after 3 missed rings, or only when all lines are occupied.
