Never miss a call while you're on the tools

Calls follow you to site, an after-hours message handles emergencies properly, and quoting enquiries don't go to voicemail and stay there.

For a trade or construction business, the phone doesn’t stop ringing just because everyone’s on site with their hands full. A missed quote enquiry often just goes to the next business in the search results, and a genuine after-hours emergency deserves better than a generic voicemail greeting.

Call routing can send office calls straight to mobiles, split urgent after-hours calls from routine enquiries, and make sure a call to head office still gets answered even when the office itself is empty.

Tradies and construction businesses are often on-site or driving between jobs, which means missed calls can mean missed quotes and lost work. VOIP24 lets every call to your business number ring through to your mobile as well as the office, so you never have to choose between answering the phone and getting the job done.

For businesses running multiple crews or subcontractors, call routing can direct enquiries to the right team based on the type of job, whether that’s plumbing, electrical, or general building, so customers reach someone who can actually help on the first call instead of being passed around.

After-hours and emergency call handling is simple to set up too, with urgent calls diverted to an on-call mobile outside business hours while general enquiries go to voicemail with a message letting customers know when you’ll be back in touch.

Why Trades & Construction businesses choose VOIP24

  • Calls to the office number ring through to mobiles on site
  • Separate after-hours routing for genuine emergencies vs. general enquiries
  • One number across vehicle signage, invoices, and online listings
  • No landline needed at a site office or depot - works over mobile data or NBN
