For UK tradespeople
Homeowners are told to get three quotes, so the caller you miss is already ringing the next trade on the list, and whoever answers wins the job. Vocalenda answers your number 24/7, books jobs and site visits straight into your Google Calendar, and texts the customer a confirmation, from your own business number.

What it handles
Customers get an answer on the first try, the diary fills itself, and anything it can't handle is waiting on your dashboard, details taken down, before the call ends. Most answering services stop at taking a message. This one books the job.
While your hands are full, it checks your real availability, offers times, and writes the job into your Google Calendar while the customer is still on the line.
“Can someone service our boiler this week?”

In your Google Calendar, mid-call
The landlord with three rentals. The key safe code. The dog that needs shutting in the kitchen. Said once, kept on the caller's card, and used naturally the next time that number rings.
“It's Mr Hart - the flat on Station Road again?”
Noted 3 Jun: key safe 2580
No “what was the address again?”
A job that needs pricing first? It takes the details, tells the caller when to expect you, and the message is on your dashboard, with a notification, before you're off the ladder.
“Can you price up a full bathroom refit?”
Message: bathroom refit, WV8
On your dashboard before the call ended

The maths is short
A new boiler is worth £2,000 or more. A bathroom refit starts around £3,500. Even a standard callout runs about £110, and the homeowner who reaches your voicemail is already ringing the next trade on their list of three quotes. Vocalenda is £49 a month, flat, no per-minute meter. Less than half a callout.
Pricing
No tiers to compare, no per-minute meter running while your caller decides between Tuesday and Thursday. £49 a month on the founding rate, locked for the first ten businesses, and you can leave whenever you like.
Try it free for 30 days first. If it doesn’t book you more work than it costs, don’t keep it.
£69£49/month
Everything included · cancel anytime
Founding rate for the first 10 businesses, locked while you stay subscribed. Then £69/month.
*Fair use: 500 call minutes a month - enough for around 250 bookings at a typical two-minute call.
An honest note
We won’t invent testimonials. Instead: the first three businesses willing to share their real numbers get 60 days free. And every founding business (the first ten) keeps the £49 rate for as long as they stay subscribed.
