Your business line
a customer is calling your business
"If we can't answer, we can text you back so you're not left waiting. Press 1 to allow that text. Message and data rates may apply if you do."
"Business call. Press 1 to connect now. Press 2 to send them a text instead."
If they pressed 1, and you don't pick up
A caller who doesn't press 1 never gets a text. A dedicated number, just for this -- your existing phone line is never touched. Texts only go out between 8am and 8pm in your time zone.
1. They get a text
2. You reply from your phone
The caller opts in, then gets a text back. You reply from your own phone.
Starter and up include a free, dedicated toll-free number, separate from your personal cell, that forwards straight to you. The caller first hears a short notice offering a text-back, and the call connects whether or not they press 1. Pressing 1 is the only thing that allows a text.
The notice reads: "If we can't answer, we can text you back so you're not left waiting. Press 1 to allow that text."
Then it rings your cell, and you'll know it's a business call before you even answer, not a guess between a real customer and your kid's school. Press 1 to pick up live, or press 2 to send them a text right then instead of letting it ring out.
If the call goes unanswered and the caller allowed a text, they get exactly one, starting with your business name: "Your Business: Sorry we missed your call! Reply here and we'll get right back to you. Reply STOP to opt out." If they didn't press 1, no text is sent at all. Your personal number stays exactly that, personal, and it's never published anywhere.
When a customer replies, you can text them back right from your phone on a mobile-friendly page you can keep on your home screen, no separate app to install, and no juggling which number a reply came in on.
Reply to every text from your own phone
This isn't a separate app to check. It's the exact conversation thread pictured here, right inside your SeenOnMain dashboard, mobile-first so you can answer from wherever you already are.
Type a reply and it sends from your dedicated business number, never your personal cell. Every thread stays in one place, so you're never digging through texts to find who said what.
Worth knowing
This is a separate, inbound flow from Instant Lead Call -- that one is outbound, triggered the moment a web-form lead comes in. This one is inbound: a real customer calling your dedicated number directly. No text is ever sent to a caller who didn't press 1 to allow it at the start of the call, and for the ones who did, it's a single, one-time informational reply, not the start of an ongoing message sequence, never added to any marketing or broadcast list. Texts only go out between 8am and 8pm in your time zone, so nobody gets a text in the middle of the night. A STOP reply is honored immediately.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to give out a new number to my customers?
Yes, this is a new, dedicated toll-free number, not a forward on your existing line. That's what makes it unambiguous: unlike your personal cell, this number only ever rings for people trying to reach your business.
What happens if I can't answer?
It depends on whether the caller allowed a text. At the very start of the call, before your phone rings, they hear a short notice and can press 1 to allow a text back. If they did, and you don't pick up, they get one text within seconds letting them know you'll get right back to them. If they didn't press 1, no text goes out. Either way it's a single informational reply, never an ongoing conversation started on your behalf.
Can a text go out at 2am?
No. Texts only go out between 8am and 8pm in your time zone, and a STOP reply is honored immediately and permanently.
How do I reply to a customer's text?
From a mobile-friendly page in your dashboard, no app store download required. To keep it one tap away: on iPhone, open it in Safari, tap the Share icon, then "Add to Home Screen." On Android, open it in Chrome, tap the menu (three dots), then "Add to Home screen" or "Install app." Either way it then sits on your home screen like any other app.
