Missed call service: leads, votes and verification from a free call
A missed call service gives customers a number they can ring and hang up on. The call costs them nothing, and your system recognises it, records their number and replies with an SMS, a WhatsApp message or a callback. SMSNiti sets up the number, the follow-up message and the reports.
It is one of the easiest ways to collect leads, verify numbers and run polls, because the customer only has to make one free call.
- Free for the customer
- Instant SMS or callback
- Lead and feedback reports
Overview
What is a missed call service?
A missed call service uses a dedicated phone number. When a customer rings that number, the call is not answered. Instead, the system sees the caller's number, records it and triggers a follow-up: an SMS with information, a WhatsApp message, or a call back from your team.
Short answer: A missed call service lets people contact a business by giving a free missed call. The business then replies automatically with an SMS or callback, which makes it a low-effort way to capture leads and responses.
Why it works
Customers do not pay for the call, do not fill in a form and do not need a smartphone or internet. That removes the usual reasons people drop out, so more people respond than they do to a web form.
What you get back
For every missed call you get the caller's number, the time and the campaign they responded to. You can follow up straight away or add the number to your contact database for future campaigns.
