Grande Prairie

How plumbing calls come in around Grande Prairie

Grande Prairie had 64,141 people at the 2021 census, and the City describes itself as a regional service hub for northwestern Alberta and northeastern B.C. For a plumber, that often means jobs across the city and the County, and a phone that rings while you're travelling between them.

Someone with water where it shouldn't be wants a plumber today. If they get voicemail, some leave a message and some call the next number they find. A text back from your business name tells them you got the call, and gets the details down while they're still holding their phone.

Cold snaps don't spread the calls out

In Environment Canada's 1991–2020 climate normals, Grande Prairie's average January low is −19.4 °C, and the coldest January reading in that period was −43.2 °C. When a deep cold snap lands, frozen lines, burst pipes and no-hot-water calls tend to arrive on the same mornings, usually while you're already on one of them.

Toolbelt Text doesn't get busier when you do. Every missed call gets the same text back. If a caller says a pipe burst or something is flooding, they get one text suggesting they shut off the main water valve if they can do it safely, and you get an urgent alert right away.

How it works

Forward the line. We take the call. You get the text.

  1. Before

    Forward your business

    Keep your number. Forward the line, or after hours only, to the local number we give you (about one tap on most cell phones). We look for one in your own area code first. We send you the steps.

  2. A call comes in

    The assistant answers

    It takes the details, and offers to note a time from your hours or just take a message. Callers hear that this is an automated assistant. It never pretends to be a person, and it never quotes a price.

  3. You get a text

    You confirm, decline, or suggest another time

    From a link, or reply 1 or 2. The caller is texted either way. A reminder goes out the day before a confirmed time. Missed-call text-back is included if a call still goes unanswered.

What the AI receptionist will and won't do

  • If a caller asks, it tells them it's an automated assistant. It never pretends to be a person.
  • It only shares facts you give it, like your service area, the jobs you do and the jobs you don't take.
  • It never quotes prices or promises an arrival time. It can note a time from your hours; you confirm, decline, or suggest another from a text. Auto-confirm is off unless you switch it on.
  • If a caller asks for a person, is upset or has an emergency, it stops and alerts you right away.
  • It never gives repair instructions. Gas, smoke or sparking? The caller is told to get safe and call 911 first.
  • Rather not use AI? Email us and we'll switch it off.

Built for the trades first. It works for any business that wants the phone answered: salons, clinics, restaurants, shops and offices pick their type at signup and the questions change to suit.

Questions from Grande Prairie

Will it tell a caller how to fix the leak?

No. It never gives repair instructions. If a caller mentions a burst pipe or flooding, it sends one safety line (shut off the main water valve if they can do it safely) and alerts you right away.

I work the city and the County. Can it say that?

Yes. Add your service area, the jobs you do and the jobs you don't take to your profile. The assistant only shares facts you give it.

Is it a real person?

No. It's an automated assistant, and it says so at the start of the call. It never claims to be a person. You confirm, decline, or suggest another time from a text.

How much is it?

Every plan has a 7-day free trial. A card is required. You're billed after 7 days unless you cancel. The AI receptionist is CA$199/month, Solo is $49/month, and Pro is $99.99/month. No setup fee, cancel anytime.

Can I try it before I sign up?

Call (825) 435-4870 to hear the AI receptionist, or (825) 479-6693 from your cell (hang up) to see missed-call text-back. Every plan has a 7-day free trial. A card is required.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. You keep your number and turn on "forward when unanswered" with your phone company, pointed at the local number we give you.
