Peace River

One town, a lot of country around it

The Town of Peace River had 6,619 people at the 2021 census. It sits where the Smoky River, the Heart River and Pat's Creek meet the Peace, about 198 km northeast of Grande Prairie on Highway 2, and it borders the MD of Peace No. 135, the County of Northern Lights and Northern Sunrise County.

In a town that size, a lot of trade work is one or two people covering the town and the farms and acreages around it. When you're the one doing the work, there's nobody else to grab the phone. A text back means the caller isn't left wondering, and you don't have to remember who called.

Winter calls don't wait for you to get back to town

A frozen line at an acreage, a shop heater that quit, a furnace that won't light: in winter those calls come in while you're on another job. Every missed caller gets a text back, and anyone who says there's no heat or a pipe burst is flagged to you as urgent right away.

Gas smell or a CO alarm? The caller is told to get everyone outside and call 911 or the gas company's emergency line from outside. ATCO Gas has an office in Peace River and a 24/7 emergency line.

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 Peace River

Does the assistant know where we work?

Only what you tell it. Put your service area in your profile (say, the town, Grimshaw and the acreages in between) and it will use that. Anything it doesn't know, it says you'll cover when you call.

Do my callers need an app?

No. The AI receptionist talks on a regular phone call, and missed-call follow-ups are regular text messages from your business name. Nobody needs an app.

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.

Who's behind this?

Toolbelt Text is a small Canadian business, built by Keegan in Grande Prairie, Alberta. It's new, so there are no customer reviews yet, and we won't make any up. Questions? Email support@toolbelttext.ca.
