The honest comparison
Four ways to handle the phone. Three lose you jobs. One books them.
Voicemail is free but loses the lead. Answering services pick up, then charge by the minute. A receptionist is great, and expensive. Here’s exactly where Nevermiss lands.

Questions, answered
Everything an owner wants to know before handing over the phone.
Can I keep my existing number?
Yes. Keep your number and forward calls to Nevermiss whenever you can’t pick up: all the time, after hours only, or just when a call goes unanswered. Nothing to install.
Does it work with Google Voice?
Yes. Google Voice skips the usual carrier dial codes, so instead you link your Nevermiss number inside Google Voice. It takes about two minutes, and the step by step guide at nevermiss.com/guides/google-voice walks you through it. One heads up: Google Voice forwards every call rather than just missed ones, so your receptionist answers everything and texts you each lead right away.
How long does setup take?
About five minutes. Nevermiss reads your Google Business Profile and learns your services, hours, and service area. No app, no developer, no IT.
Will it sound like a robot?
It speaks naturally and answers in your business name. It greets the caller, asks the right questions, books the job, and stays in your tone. (Try it: every plan starts free.)
What if it gets something wrong?
You stay in control. Every call is recorded, transcribed, and summarized in your dashboard, so you can review exactly what was said on any lead. When a call is a true emergency or the caller asks for a person, Nevermiss flags it and can transfer straight to your cell. It’s built to hand off rather than guess.
Does it know what’s an emergency for my trade?
Yes, it’s built for the trades, from plumbing, HVAC, and electrical to roofing, garage doors, appliance repair, landscaping, and pest control. It treats things like no-heat in a cold snap, a gas smell, a sparking panel, or a burst pipe as urgent, gives the caller safe first steps, and can transfer the call straight to your cell. If someone’s in danger, it tells them to hang up and call 911.
Can it book jobs onto my calendar?
Yes. Connect your Google Calendar and Nevermiss books the time the customer wants right onto it (with the service address on the event) so you roll up knowing exactly where the job is and when.
Does it speak Spanish?
Yes, turn on bilingual mode and Nevermiss answers in both English and Spanish. We flip it on for you when your website shows Spanish-speaking customers, so you don’t lose a job over a language barrier.
What happens if I go over my included minutes?
Your plan includes a block of talk-minutes every month: 250 on Starter, 600 on Pro. Past that it’s just $0.25 a minute, and your total bill is capped at double your plan price, so Starter never tops $198 and Pro never tops $398. If you’re trending close to your minutes, we flag it early. No surprise invoices.
Can I use it for after-hours and overflow only?
Absolutely. Run it 24/7, or only when you can’t answer: nights, weekends, when you’re under a sink, or when the line’s already busy.
How do the leads reach me?
The second a call ends, you get a text or email with the caller, the reason for the call, and a callback number, plus the time they asked for, ready for you to confirm. Every lead lands in your dashboard too.
Are calls recorded, and is my data safe?
Every call is recorded, transcribed, and summarized so you have a full record of every lead. Your data is yours. We don’t sell it.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, no contracts, cancel anytime, and you keep your number either way. Start free for 7 days with no card and 30 talk-minutes, enough to hear it handle real calls before you pay a cent.
Stop losing plumbing jobs you never heard ring.
