Customers text you at 9pm. Now something answers.
A dedicated business number where an AI answers customer texts from your own price sheets and policies. It handles the questions that never needed you, and hands you the ones that do.
Or we set it up for you — $199 once. We read your website, write how your line answers, and then put it through real questions it has to get right from your own pages. It does not start answering customers unless it passes all of them. About ten minutes, and you can watch it.

The line answering a real thread — live, not staged.
You are on a ladder, under a truck, or at dinner. The phone buzzes. It is somebody asking what you charge, whether you come out to their side of town, or how soon you could look at something.
By the time you see it, they have texted two other companies. This gives that customer an answer while they are still deciding — from your documents, in your words. And when the conversation is worth your time, the whole thread is waiting for you to step in.
Texts get read. Everything else waits.
The channel your customers already prefer is the one your business answers slowest. The research on that gap is not subtle.

how fast texts get read — about 90% within three minutes of landing
A 9pm text isn’t a message — it’s a customer mid-decision. Say you miss three of those a week: thirteen a month. If one in four was a real job at even $400, $1,200 a month goes to whoever texted back first — while the line that answers in seconds costs $249.
One caught job a month covers it many times over. Want your website answering too? Add Website Chat and both channels answer around the clock for $498/mo.
Messaging figures from published research: Gartner, “Tap Into the Marketing Power of SMS,” and industry read-rate studies. Results vary by audience — run the arithmetic with your own numbers.
A number, your documents, and answers that go out on time.
No phone system to configure, no scripts to write, no receptionist to train.
Get a real business number
Pick an area code and the number is yours in seconds. Put it on your truck, your business cards, your website — anywhere you have been handing out your personal cell. It can receive from the moment you have it.
Tell it how your business answers
Upload your price sheet and the answers you give twenty times a week, write down what it must never guess at, and switch it on — everything it says is yours to edit. Or hand the whole thing to us for $199 once: we read your site the way a customer would, write how your line answers, and test it against your own pages before it answers anyone.
Stop losing after-hours customers
A text at 9pm gets a real answer at 9pm. Every conversation lands in your inbox, and you can take over any thread the moment you want to talk to someone yourself.
Straight talk on how long it takes
The number is yours in seconds, and OSQR is ready to answer within minutes of you telling it about your business — upload your rates and policies, or just tell it in your own words and let it write the rest.
Before any business number is allowed to send texts, the mobile carriers have to register and approve it. That approval takes one to three business days, and it is not something we can hurry along. Your line starts answering customers the moment it clears — and OSQR texts you when it does, so you are not sitting there refreshing a page.
A line that works the hours you cannot
Your number stays yours
A separate business line means your personal cell stops being your business line. Customers text the number on the truck; you decide when you are the one answering.
Answers from your business
It quotes your rates, knows whether you cover their town, and explains your services the way your documents describe them. When a question is outside what you gave it, it says so instead of inventing an answer.
Nights, weekends, and mid-job
The texts that used to sit unread until tomorrow morning get answered now. Most of them never needed you — they needed a price, an address, or a yes.
It can book the appointment
Connect your Google Calendar and it finds your open slots, offers the customer two or three real times, books the one they pick, and texts you the moment it lands. Without a calendar connected it takes the message instead — it never invents a time it cannot see.
Jump in whenever
Every thread is visible in your OSQR inbox. Read what was said, then take over and text back yourself. The AI steps aside; the customer never sees a handoff.
Honest usage math
2,000 messages a month included — more than most small businesses send in a busy month. That is a fair-use ceiling, not a meter: no per-seat fees, no per-message charges, and no overage packs to buy. If you are consistently over it, we will tell you honestly whether this is the right shape.
A wall where it matters
The line sees exactly the documents you give it — and nothing else. Your private files in OSQR stay private. That separation is deliberate and built in, not a setting you have to remember.
What answering the phone usually costs
The going rate for someone to pick up is a person's wage or a suite you did not want. This is a number you can budget.
Competitor pricing as published by each vendor; plans and fees change — check their sites for current numbers.
Start with the line. Add channels when you're ready.
The Business Line stands on its own — buy it, use it, done. But it's built on OSQR, which means the same AI can also answer questions on your website, read your email, and work from your full knowledge vault whenever you decide you want more. No re-platforming, no starting over.
Text (623) 232-0185 and see how fast an answer comes back.
That number is our own Business Text Line, trained on this very website. Ask it the kind of questions your own customers ask you — what something costs, what's included, whether it can handle their situation — and a real answer comes back in seconds, which is the part your customers feel. Yours would be the same line, answering from your price sheet and your service area instead.

The Business Text Line isn’t for you if…
- You want to send marketing blasts. Carrier registration exists to stop exactly that, and we won’t help you around it. This line answers people who text you first.
- Nobody texts your business yet and you don’t want them to. This makes the texting lane great; it doesn’t decide for you that texting is how your customers want to reach you.
- You want it to promise things you haven’t written down. It answers from your price sheet and your policies. Ask it something that isn’t in there and it says so and gets you — which is the point, and which some owners find frustrating.
- You need it to replace answering the phone entirely. It handles the questions. The jobs that need you still need you, and it hands those over rather than pretending otherwise.
If none of those are you, text the demo number above before you decide anything — it’s the same product answering from this site.
Want it answering with your prices?
Tell me about the business and I'll set it up so you can text it yourself before you decide anything.
Straight answers
Does it answer my phone?
No — and this is the one thing to be clear about before you buy. It is a texting number, not an answering service. It reads and replies to text messages. If somebody rings it, nobody picks up. If what you need is a human voice on a call, an answering service is the right purchase and we will say so.
How much work is it to set up?
You can do it yourself: upload your price sheet, your services and the questions you answer every week, write down how the line should answer and what it must never guess at, and switch it on. Or hand it to us for $199 once — we read your site, write how the line answers, and then interrogate it with real questions it has to get right from your own pages. It does not start answering customers unless it passes all of them. That runs in about ten minutes and you can watch it happen. Either way, the carriers still have to approve the number before it can send, which is one to three business days and not something either of us can hurry.
Is this my existing business number?
No, it is a new dedicated number for texting. Your current line keeps doing exactly what it does now. Most businesses put the texting number on the website, in email signatures and on the truck, and leave the phone number alone.
What happens when it does not know something?
It says so, and hands the conversation to you. It answers from documents you give it — your prices, your services, your policies — so when a question falls outside those, the honest answer is that it does not know and a person will follow up. It is built to do that rather than invent something that sounds right.
Can I see what it said to my customers?
Yes. Every conversation is yours to read, in full. Nothing is hidden from you, and you can step into any thread and take over.
Will it text my customers first?
It answers people who text you. Sending the first message to somebody who has not contacted you is a different thing legally, and it is not something that happens automatically.
How many messages do I get?
A fair-use ceiling of 2,000 a month, which exists to stop a runaway rather than to meter you — a busy trade business texts a fraction of it. $249 is the whole bill: no per-seat charge, no per-conversation fee, and no charge that goes up because the AI answered well.
Is this just ChatGPT with a phone number?
The models underneath are the same ones everybody uses, and we do not claim to have built our own. The difference is what sits around them: a real number your customers text, answers drawn from your documents instead of the internet, a written record of every thread you can read, and a handoff to you the moment it matters. ChatGPT cannot be texted by your customer at 7am, and it does not know what you charge.
Do I need an OSQR subscription too?
No. The Business Text Line is a whole product on its own. If it is the only thing you ever buy from us, that is a perfectly good outcome.
What if it does not work for me?
Thirty days. If it has not earned its keep, email and you get every dollar back. Same policy on every product we sell.
