Industries
A business phone for the shops that answer their own calls
Onyx Phone is built for small teams with one public number and a few people who pick up: the office, the owner, and the crew on the road. Here is how that looks in the trades and services it was built around.
By industry
Plumbers
One number that rings the office and the techs, texts back missed callers, and keeps phones quiet after hours. Built for plumbing shops, from $17 per user.
HVAC companies
Handle the first heat wave's call volume: ring the office first and the techs next, text back every missed caller, and send jobs to your field software.
Electricians
One business number for the shop and the crew, with call screening, transcribed voicemail, and missed-call text-back. For electrical contractors, from $17.
Landscaping and lawn care
Answer the business line from the mower or the office, text customers about visits, and keep phones quiet off-season. For landscaping and lawn care crews.
Contractors
A business number for estimates, subs, and the crew: ring groups, call transfers, recorded calls with AI summaries, and Jobber via Zapier. From $17.
Property managers
Separate lines for leasing and maintenance, an after-hours emergency line, texting with residents, and call analytics. For small property management teams.
Cleaning services
Book more cleaning jobs from one business number: text clients about visits, text back missed callers, and keep cleaners' personal numbers private.
Pest control
Handle seasonal call spikes with ring order, text-back, and transcribed voicemail, and keep route techs reachable on the business number. For pest control.
Roofers
Route storm-season calls to estimators, record what homeowners agreed to, and text back every missed caller. A business phone for roofing contractors.
Auto repair shops
Answer the front counter and the bays from one number, text customers when the car is ready, and put callers on hold with your own music. For auto repair.
Real estate
A business number for agents and small brokerages: text leads from one number, keep your personal cell private, and keep the number when agents move on.
What every one of them needs from a phone
- The number on the truck, the website, and the Google listing rings the people who can take the job, wherever they are: in a browser, on the iPhone and Android apps, or on a desk phone.
- A caller nobody could reach gets a text back a couple of minutes later, so the job does not go to the next number they find.
- Business hours keep the crew's phones quiet at night, and every voicemail arrives as a transcript you can read between jobs.
- Calls and voicemails flow into the job system you already use, like Jobber or Housecall Pro, through Zapier.
- You keep the number customers already know. Porting is free on every plan.
Included on every plan
Starter is $17, Business is $29, Scale is $42 per user a month, or less billed yearly. The plan includes a business number for each user and unlimited calling and texting in the US and Canada. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and moving your current number over is free.
Not on the list? Who it's for describes the kind of business Onyx Phone fits, and the kind it does not.
