Copy everything
The texts are templates filled with your words, with no AI. Text in [brackets] is for you to fill in truthfully. Rules on texting people differ by country and state, and an automatic text to a caller is still a text: check what applies to you, keep a record of consent where it is needed and honour every STOP. This is not legal advice.
What a missed-call text should do
- Say who you are: the caller may not have saved your number.
- Be quick: a reply within minutes beats a perfect message tomorrow.
- Ask one easy question: what is the job, or when is a good time to call.
- Make opting out simple: end with the line and act on it.
