CallReply

Freelancers and consultants

Focused on your client, without leaving the next one unanswered

When you work alone, being with a client means not answering the phone. CallReply sends a text from your own number to every missed call, so nobody is left hanging.

Call back: Mr Carter after the workshop

What changes in your work

In session, still in touch. Every missed call gets a text from your number, and the caller explains what they need.

Sessions without interruption

Coaching, training or a client meeting: you stay fully present. The phone can stay on silent.

Silent mode · Text sent

Prospects stay in touch

Someone calling after seeing your website gets a reply straight away. They have no reason to look for another provider.

New prospect · Text delivered

A conversation that starts in writing

The text comes from your number, so the person can reply with what they need. You prepare your call back.

Ready before your next appointment

  1. 01 Install the Android app From callreply.fr, on your work or personal phone, Android 8.0 or later.
  2. 02 Write a message that sounds like you Your name, your trade, a word on when you will call back. No confidential details.
  3. 03 Find everything in history After the session, every call and every text is there with its status.

A photographer at a wedding, a trainer in front of a group

These moments last for hours. Meanwhile, quote requests keep coming in. CallReply answers each one by text, with the phone locked and put away. In the evening you see who called, when, and anything they replied. You call back calmly, with the context in hand.

Working on an iPhone?

iOS does not let any app read the call log or send a text by itself. CallReply's simple mode checks your rules, then opens Messages with your text pre-filled: you tap Send. An automatic mode uses the Shortcuts app, depending on your carrier's missed call alert.

Which freelancers is it for?

Face-to-face professions: coaches, therapists, trainers, financial advisers, consultants. In these jobs, picking up mid-session is not an option. Keep the text generic, with no detail at all about the reason for the appointment.

Freelancers often on the move or on site: photographers, videographers, property surveyors, interior designers. The phone goes everywhere with them, but they cannot always answer it.

Good to know

A reply, not a sales pitch

This text answers someone who contacted you, so it is not prospecting. Keep it informational and sign with your name. If you add a commercial offer, prospecting rules apply: prior consent and a free way to opt out.

The STOP list

Family, partners, subcontractors: add their numbers to the STOP list. They will never get an automatic text. You manage it on the phone and in the web space.

Your data

Hosting in France, with a retention period for each kind of data. After that, history keeps dates and statuses but no numbers. Contacts sync only with your consent; export and erasure from "My data".

Hidden numbers

A withheld number cannot receive a text, as there is no number to reply to. The call is only listed in history.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a second business line?

No. CallReply uses the number and SIM of your Android phone. No new line and no third-party SMS gateway.

Can I choose which calls trigger the text?

Yes: missed calls, rejected calls, or both. Rejecting a call during a session can therefore trigger the reply if you want it to.

Can the message change with the time of day?

Partly: days off have their own message, and scheduled mode sends every text at the time you choose. The rest of the time the text is the same: write it so that it is accurate at any moment, such as “I will call you back as soon as I can”.

Is it easy to cancel?

Yes. One subscription, monthly or yearly, cancelled from the app. Access stays open until the end of the paid period.
